I'm a bit confused of why hurricanes are named. Can someone please explain?Are tornadoes also named? From what I've known so far, there are: Hurricane Edward Hurricane Charles Hurricane Frances Hurricane Ivan aka "Ivan the Terrible" Are there anymore? (Sorry if this topic doesn't apply in this group.)
... hurricanes are named because there are alot and they last for a good amount of times... you need a way of calling me that is easy to remember... not oh EOD2349 is about to srike Hawaii again =P edit: you don't name torando because they only last for about half a day =_
rGEMINI pretty much summed it up but here is a more formal reason: More information on the topic (and to see if your name could eventually be related to a future hurricane) can be found here: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml
