What are you talking about. Is Delta supposed to have significance?

delta in scientific/engineering/mathematic parlance can refer (usually?) to change! (eg the delta of an angle or temperature, etc)

see how poetic? "winds of change"...then there's the whole mississippi delta tie-in from katrina and how that's been kind of a "delta" storm for us.

a delta hurricane (doesn't even have to make landfall) with winds of say 300MPH. would open alot of eyes.

it's just poetic in some ways to me.
