Since when...
...did they start naming natural disasters?!? Cyclone Phyan..Hurricane Katrina.. Hurricane Ike.. Hurricane Jimena..Typhoon Morakot!! Who on earth names them?! Funny naming business it is!!
:) The naming convention is there, so that they can be part of our children's history lessons :) Basically, to refer to a patricular event, rather than having to specify the year, place etc for future reference I guess
Who names them? No idea :) But how they name it - I came across this answer, not sure of its authenticity though "The first hurricane of the year is a girl name that starts with an a. then a boy name with a b. then a girl name with c. then it went to Katrina. Then when a new year starts, they start over."
A contradiction to those who dont understand me.. never a boring person.. sometimes a moody person.. a genuine person to those who I love..I am a true Gemini!!
