In 1979 this practice was adopted in the North Atlantic. A storm only gets named when it reaches tropical storm strength. The names are selected by the National Weather Service. If you would like your name to be considered I would suggest you write a letter of request to the Director of the National Weather Service in Washington, D.C. at the following address: National Weather Service 1325 East-West Highway Silver Spring, MD 20910 Website: Good Luck Answered by 1ofSelby's - Sat Mar 3 17:56:06 2007 How do they pick the names for a Hurricane???

According to the National Hurricane Center, the use of short, distinctive names in both written and spoken communication is quicker and less subject to error than the older latitude-longitude identification methods. The original lists were composed entirely of female names. In 1979, male names were introduced and now alternate with female names alphabetically. The six lists of names are used in rotation, so the list used in 2008 will again be used in 2014. The lists are maintained and updated by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The only situation in which the list is changed is if a storm is so… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Fri Aug 29 11:38:21 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "hurricane names" |
