Interesting link! Thanks. If 2006 is a busy season, there are hurricanes that will be named for my daughter and then yours truly. )

Another interesting factoid I ran across last week on the Weather Channel website was that former and now deceased Tropical Weather Expert John Hope worked for the National Weather Service at the Hurricane Center, and they choose the names of the upcoming hurricanes, he chose the name Camille, after his daughter, for the letter 'C' in 1969, and the rest is history... The name Camille has long since been retired.


Picture of John Hope, Tropical Weather Expert, who worked at The Weather Channel from 1982 to 2002 as one of the first on-air meterologists.
