Uh, dude, that's the point. A tropical depression only becomes a named storm when its winds reach 39 mph. This one didn't. I was simply refuting this claim of yours: "THEY DID”T COUNT TROPICAL DEPRESSIONS AS STORMS RELATED TO HURRICANES UNTIL GLOBAL WARMING WAS INVENTED" - when this entry shows they monitored tropical depressions long before global warming was concocted.

You really should educate yourself on tropical meterology before barging into FR hurricane threads.

Free Republic, a place where one can go, get the news, HAVE AN OPINION, state some facts, and get blasted for it! I don't understand how such people can read a post and just trash someone for putting out the facts.
Tropical storms HAD numbers after them, Hurricanes were named! It hasn't been until the last fifteen years or so that they started naming tropical storms. I'm sorry, I won't ever post on your stupid hurricane post ever again.
