00:56 Atlantic Hurricane Season Goes Greek For only the second time ever, the National Hurricane Center has run out of names, so they've turned to the Greek alphabet.

Fred dissipated Sunday evening about 1,200 miles southwest of the Azores as the system now lacks a well-defined center.

The remnants of Fred are expected to track to the north-northeast.

A Rare Hurricane For Cape Verde Islands

Fred was just the fourth Atlantic named storm to form east of 19 degrees West longitude, the National Hurricane Center said in its advisory issued for the storm Sunday morning.

The Associated Press reported all airports were closed in the republic Monday , in anticipation of the storm. They also reported that the storm caused flooding, scattered power outages and uprooted some trees, but no major damage was noted.

According to a blog from Bob Henson of wunderground.com , there is no reliable record of a hurricane ever making landfall in Cabo Verde. Henson said that an 1892 storm reportedly intensified into a hurricane while passing to the south of the northwest Cape Verde Islands. In 1998, Jeanne reached hurricane status while passing south of the islands by about 100 miles, Henson added.

The islands have seen deadly impacts from tropical storms. The deadliest was Tropical Storm Fran in 1984 whose heavy rains caused flooding that killed more than two dozen people, Henson said.
