Atlantic Earliest "N-th" Storm Records

From Gary Padgett:
 
Back in July I looked up the earliest occurrences of Atlantic
TCs number 6 - 12 within a season.     Dennis, Emily, Franklin,
Gert, Harvey and Irene all set new records for the earliest
4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th tropical storms, respectively.
 
Following is an updated table for TCs 10 - 21:
 
Number     Number of            Earliest                 2nd Earliest                        3rd Earliest 
 of TS      Occurrences

20th TS             1               26 Oct 1933
21st TS             1               15 Nov 1933
 
All the above is based on the current Best Track file, which has been re-analyzed for the
years 1851 - 1910.   Information for 1911 onward will be subject to revision, and this
could affect stats for some of the busier seasons, especially 1916, 1933 and 1936.
