Each Hurricane is named alphabeticaly. There are many hurricane names that have been retired.IF the hurricane was really bad they would retire their names. The united states weather service first started naming hurricanes after woman and then started naming them with men names too.
Hurricanes are named from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. Each name on the list starts with a different letter. Every year hurricane are named in order from A to Z. Most of the hurricanes are named after girls names. By 1979, men's names were added in response to protest from women's groups.
i learned...
> Hurricanes are named alphebetically.
> Q, U, X, Y and Z are not used.
> they are destructive.
> once they are named, that name will never be used again.
> in 1954, 40 names have been used.
>
Five things I learned about hurricanes are:
1. They used to be named after women, but they began using men's names after women's protests.
2.there were originally drawn up 6 lists of names for hurricanes, and every sixth year a list is re-used.
3. At the beginning of hurricane season the list begins with the letter A, and then goes to B, and so on.
4. The letters Q,U,X,Y,and Z are not used in naming hurricanes.
5. some names of hurricanes are retireds. Since 1954, 40 hurricane names have been retired.
Five new facts i learned about hurricanes are that once one of the name is used oncce it is retired. Since 1954,forty names have been retired. After six years the names are used over again. So names can vary from coming from wives, girlfriends, and also guys names.
The first hurican of the season starts with the letter A The next one sterts with the letter B, and so on.However the letters Q, U, X, Y, Z, are not used. they will use a name over again unless it is a really destructive.
After every six years the name lists of hurricanes star over agian. The list of names are chosen from the World Meteorological Orginization. Scince 1954, forty names have been retired, and that the letters "Q", "U", "X", "Y", and "Z" are not used for names.
Hurricanes are named from a list selected from the WMO. They do not use the letters Q,U,X,Y, and Z. since 1954, forty names have been used. My name has not been retired. hurricanes are made of water.
i have learned that hurricanes are very deadly. They can come at any time with no notice. The names are picked by a world meteorological Organization. Hurricanes arent as deadly s before beacuse they have more equiment and have more notice.The hurricane season starts with A,b and so on but q u x y and z are not used.
Hurricanes names are chosen by the World Meterological Organization. In 1953 the USA decided to name All hurricanes are named after really attractive women. Wives, girlfriends even grandmas!
i didn't know that there was certain people that picked the names of the hurricane, i also did,t know that the names are reused after six years. anotheer thing that i didn't know is that if a hurricane does great damage, its name is retired. since 1954, forty names have been retired, and that the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z.
It appears that Hurricanes are named from a list selected by the World Meteorologist Organization (WMO). Each hurricane starts with a different letter per season, like A for season 1, b for season 2...ect. In 1953, they named hurricanes after women. so six list have been made.............
I like cake, the way they pick names for hurricanes is wierd but it makes sense how they make them in alphabetical order. When they pick a name for one once it hits the name is retired and never used again.
The five things i learned: The Alantic is assigned six lists of names. Every year the season starts off with a anew letter. the letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not used. When a hurricane hits, the name is not used asgain. Since 1954 40 names have been retired.

After reading about hurricanes, I learned that they use a list to name each hurricane that is made up by the World Meteorological Organization. Although, they don't use the letters, Q, U, X, Y and Z because it's harder to come up with names. Also, after a memorable hurricane strikes they will retire it's name. I also learned that in 1953 they began naming hurricanes after woman (famous or not) and it was considered an honor. Finally, in 1979 men's names were added to the list because of protests by woman's groups.
Hurricanes get their names from lists. Every year there is a new list used to name these hurricanes.On the sixth year they will start over from the first list and cycle.But if a hurricane causes enough damage then the name will be retired and never used again.
I didnt really know that much about hurricanes only that nobody really likes them haha. But now I know that The United States Weather Service started naming them after women, after that they started to name some after men. Some names are Chris, Debby, Ernesto, Valerie, and William, and those are all from the year 2000.
I also learned that they name the hurricanes at the beginning of the season with A, then with a B, and it keeps going through the alphabet, but only the letters Q, U, X,Y and Z are not used. Well my names a hurricane... i guess thats sorta cool.
Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. Atlantic is assigned six lists of names.each name starts with a different latter.
5 new facts I learned are: when a hurricane does great damage the name is retired, in 1953 they started naming hurricane with womans names, in 1979 they started naming hurricanes with mens names, they have six lists of names and when the first hurricane comes they start out at "A" and every six years the first list begins again, and one of the retires names is Bret, which is kinda like Brett! Yay!
Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meterological Orginization. Every sixth year the list started over again. The name of the very first hurrican starts with an A and then B and so on. Also, the letters Q,U,X,Y,Z are not used. In 1953 the first hurricans were named after girls, By, 1979 the mens names were added in response to protest from the womens group.
i learnt that they first started naming hurricanes with womens names until a womens protest gruop made them use mens names to. also if a hurricane causes great damage its name it retired and never used again. The idea of coming up with the names for hurricanes for the next six years is a good idea because if there is a hurricane i doubt that people are just gunna sit there and think of a name. i think 40 is alot of names to retire if the hurricane has to cause great damage to have its name retired.
Some different facts about hurricanes are:
1)hurricane names are chosen from the World Meteorological Organization.
2)after a very destructive hurricane hits they retire that name and dont use it again.
3)they started naming hurricanes in 1953 but only used womens names. then in 1979 they started adding mens names.
4)once the first storm hits in the new year,they start it with a A name of a new list. then every six years they use the lists over again.
5)since 1954 forty names have already been retired.
I never new that hurricanes names came from list, I always thought that someone randomly made them up. I learned that they pick from a list that changes every year for six years, how they retire names, and I didn't now how many names they go through every year. I looked for my name but the closest name is Danielle.
1.The name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and then C and ya it goes untill,the letters Q,U, X, Y and Z,but there not used cause lets face it , it's hard finding new names for those letters.
2.The U.S Weather Service first started naming hurricanes after women in 1953.
3.One list is used in one year. They have 6 lists they use over a six year period. Last time the names for 2000's storms was in 94.
4.Once a hurricane causes HUGE damage the name is retired. Some names won't ever be used again. So they replace the retired names with new ones eventually.
5.In 1954 40 names were retired.
Those are all new facts i learned today about hurricanes.

i learned that Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with B, etc. The letters Q,U,X,Y and Z however are not used. Ofeten when an unusally destructive hurricane hit, that hurricane's name is retired and never used again.
The birth of a hurricane requires atleast three conditions. First, the ocean waters must be warm enough at the surface to put enough heat and moisture into the overlying atmosphere to provide the potenial fuel for the thermodynamic engine that hurricane beomes. Second, atmosphere moisture from sea water evaporation must combine with that heat and energy to form the powerful engine needed to propel a hurricane.Third, a wind pattern must be near the ocean surface to spirals air inward. Bands of thunderstorms form, allowing the air to warm further and rise higher into the atmospere. If the winds a these higher levels are relatively light, this structure can remain intact and grow stronger.
from what i know hurricans are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins againvery first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so onThe letters "Q", "U", "X", "Y" and "Z", however, are not used.that is what i know on how hurricans get there name J.Tootoosis
