Question for:

A highly unusual extratropical storm that formed on October 8, 2005, was eventually given what name by the National Hurricane Center on October 9? The storm was 580 miles (930 km) southeast of Lajes in the Azores and was not initially named because the waters there were thought to be too cold for cyclones to exist. It made landfall on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain and may have been the first such storm to hit the area since 1842.
