I found this article interesting because up until I read it I never knew that they had a list of names for potential hurricanes coming that specific year.
Also, in the link provided check out all of the names they had for 2006 and how they retire the names of hurricanes that have done massive damage. I find that it is really funny they don't discriminate based on nationality....they had Rafael as a name along with Florence ( I know personally like 6 Florences.) I just think that is so interesting.
The names are listed in alphabetical order as well...something that you wouldn't notice unless you pay close attention to it. Wouldn't it be weird if they had a hurricane named Danielle and it exemplified all the same characteristics as me. For example, I seem quiet lurking into the country and then BOOM, BAM, POW....I blow your house down. LOL!!!!
Just curious, this weather stuff is really interesting. You guys should check it out.

Just as long as there's not another storm named Katrina or Hugo (which I lived through in late 1985 and don't ever want to experience again.
Thanks for the insight about the names.
