I remember that it was another Hurricane Bertha in 1996 that got me interested in hurricanes. I lived in California at the time so hurricanes weren't a threat. I now live in Eastern Mass. and my interest is now in what to do if a hurricane hits. By the way, they recycle name every six years unless the storm is severe. The bad ones' names are retired forever.

Many of the hurricane names for this year appear to be Hispanic. Is it a plot? Is it discriminatory?

Personally, I think they should go back to just using girl's names for the storms. Andrew, Floyd, Hugo...these boys are BAD!

Personally I think they should reconsider that "O" name..

Not to worry "Omar" is a good American name, see.... Omar Nelson Bradley, General Of The Army ...and he was from Missouri too.
