One hundred fifty years of hurricanes leaves millions of miles of pubic hair strewn across the Atlantic Ocean and eastern U.S.
Now that we’re up to Hurricane Epsilon in the 2005 season (which ended officially on November 30th), here are the previously retired hurricane names and future tropical cyclone names of the North Atlantic and elsewhere. Interestingly, the naming convention systems and types of names vary by region of of the world. It’s a safe bet that Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita will have their names retired. Now if only Hurricane Naveen or Hurricane Nacho were on the list (there has never been a hurricane named with the letter ‘n’ retired since the North Atlantic naming convention started in 1954). Too bad they don’t give Mexico naming rights.
