Hurricane Names for 2006...

**aleceppi** · 14/06/2006, 10:11

For every year, there is a pre-approved list of names for tropical storms and hurricanes. These lists have been generated by the National Hurricane Center since 1953. At first, the lists consisted of only female names; however, since 1979, the lists alternate between male and female.

Hurricanes are named alphabetically from the list in chronological order. Thus the first tropical storm or hurricane of the year has a name that begins with "A" and the second is given the name that begins with "B." The lists contain names that begin from A to W, but exclude names that begin with a "Q" or "U."

Mi sembra che, solo per assonanza, gli uragani di cat. 5 non possano che essere Debby e Patty!

Secondo voi come faranno a dare i nomi dopo che li esauriranno tutti questi...

Difficile dare nomi maschili agli uragani con le lettere dell alfabeto greco...
