If we have 9 more named storms we will get through Vince. I'm still waiting for the year when they run out of names.

Trivia question: Anyone know how they name storms after they run out of names??

[M. Espinola]

Here are the remaining names:

Lee, Maria, Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rita, Stan, Tammy, Vince, Wilma

I am not sure what they do, probably begin with the letter 'A' again.(?)

Retired Names - Often the same names are used over and over, year after year, but when there is a particularly bad storm that has had a severe impact on the population they retire the name and it is never used again. There will never again be another Hurricane Andrew! Other storms that have had their names retired are:

1960 Donna (1 , 2)

1972 Agnes (1 , 2)

1979 David

1989 Hugo (2)

1992 Andrew (2)

1 - In the top 37 deadliest storms ever

2 - In the top 31 costliest storms ever

They pull the first names of the Democrat Senators, then go through their congressmen.
