names those hurricanes have: Katrina, Rita.

Now here is some thing interesting to read:

Often when an unusually destructive hurricane hits, that hurricane's name is retired and never used again. Since 1954, forty names have been retired.

Wouldn't then ... World Meteorological Organization eventually run out of names to name those hurricanes?

The national weather service has a set list of names it can use for hurricanes each year. In the rare event that they exhaust all the names on the list, they use the greek alphabet...or greek names...something greek. I don't remember exactly.

It just so turns out that this hurricane season is the aforementioned "rare event". They only have 4 names left on the list with 2 months of hurricane season still left in the atlantic.

telcat how long do you really think it would take to get rid of all the names given the fact that we have only retired 40 in the past 50 years?!?!?!

is your 9-year-old-caliber observation some kind of joke that i dont understand because youre such a genius and other people are so dumb?

She just wanted to have the word sexy near her name since she's never seen them go together before.

I, personally, don't think Rita is all that sexy of a name.

That's ~0.784314 names a year. We've used 40. 50,001 names - .784314(x years after 1954) = names left. 50,001 - .784314(51) = ~49961

So we'll run out of names in about 63,751.25 years. Those damn greek letters are going to have to wait. Besides, Hurricane Lamda or Eta isn't as user friendly.

rita from the power rangers has come to life in a form of the hurricane run for your life

[Mr. Peanuts]

I think the name Rita is quite unflattering.

[geekbot]

I'm amazed that you people know the Power Ranger evil lady's name.

Current topic of discussion on The Libertine's forums:

first they took it up the arse from katrina and now rita is about to strike a blow

they sound more like transexuals then weather conditions.

OMG shit ya! The Power rangers!! I was trying to remember where I saw her before.... Ahh, that was a great show. Wow. Too bad her evil little mutants never worked.
