Hurricane Reruns

I was snooping around on the Web this morning looking for gruesome photos of damage from Hurricane Dennis and I found out something I didn’t already know.

The NOAA Hurricane name list isn’t original each year, and some years it comes back up in the same order. I knew that they retired names if a kick ass storm kills a bunch of people and levels a couple of dozen miles of ocean front property like Andrew, Camile, and Hugo did, but I didn’t think that storm names came back up in short periods of time like—six years?

Here’s the link to the news story, and here’s the picture of Hurricanes Cindy and Dennis, and Tropical Storm Emily floating around the Atlantic in 1999:



Hurricane Reruns?

Leave it to the Imperial Federal Government of the United States to cut corners…how about some original names for our storms, Guys?

I suppose that they'll have to raise my taxes to do that...
