From Gary Padgett:
Now with the naming of TS Wilma, the Atlantic has tied its
current record for tropical storms/hurricanes. Every storm
from Dennis through Wilma, except for Lee (12th) and
Stan (18th) set a new record for earliest date of its rank.
Following is a list of the earliest dates of Atlantic storms
#1 through #21 (not counting subtropical storms). This
is based upon the current Best Track---things could get
changed in the re-analysis. For the storm rank in which
2005 storms set a new early record, the previous
record holder is indicated in parentheses following.

subtropical storm in Jan, 1978, but this is not counted here.
