Tropical Storm Alpha was the 23rd tropical storm of the extremely active 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It developed from Tropical Depression Twenty-Five in the eastern Caribbean Sea on October 22, 2005. As the 21 pre-designated storm names had been exhausted, it was given the first name on the auxiliary list, which utilized the letters of the Greek alphabet. This was the first hurricane season ever to trigger this naming protocol, and the only one until the 2020 season. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 50 mph (45 knots), lowest pressure 998 mb. October 22 – October 24, 2005. Landfall: October 23 at 50 mph, 18.3°N 71.3°W. Accumulated cyclone energy: 0.7.
