Hermine or Ian, which is getting which name, or maybe we'll have to wait until the one over Africa to use one or both of them.

It's interesting, both TD8 and TD9 are forecast to become a tropical storm 24 hours from now. If they both get upgraded during the same period, I wonder which gets the first name? The one with the TD designation first or maybe whichever they happen to decide to upgrade before the other in the ATCF system.
