And after being asked whether Mavis would hit New Orleans,
the forecaster would reply 'Ooooo, I don't really know.....'

There's running out of letters apparently so if they're any more
they'll be called Hurricane Alpha, Beta, Gamma etc.

How can they run out of letters ? they Just start from A again. (which
they do at the start of each year anyway)
Or do you mean they are running out of names ?
Surely Hurricane season is nearly over anyway, so i doubt they'll run
out before they get to Z on the current cycle anyway.

They have 21 new names each year and can't reuse them.
Stan, Tammy, Vince, Wilma are the names left this year.

Heh-heh. And to think, there are probably people who read that and
didn't know what you meant. I can't believe it was 1993. Seems like
only yesterday....
However, to nitpick a little, that wouldn't be so much "Bunny" as
"Buh-nay". :-)

There's a more comprehensive list at
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml. They don't expect to have more
than 21 hurricanes a year in the Atlantic, which is why Q, U, X, Y and Z are
missing. It's a shame, as it would be good to have hurricanes named things
like Queenie and Ursula.

And I'm trying to think whether she was murdered by Nick Moran or he went on
to terrorise Bunny, alone?

I suspect Hurricane Higgins has hit a few people in its time.

Not necessarily.
A lot of strong hurricanes swing out into the Atlantic and go
nowhere near any land, therefore we don't tend to hear about them.
Matt Wheeler
Apparently so.
There are, I have heard, around 7 Tropical storms (or worse),
including Rita around the Atlantic at the present, so they will no
doubt account for some of the large step. Although at present I can
only find a Tropical Storm Phillippe.... meanwhile, in the Pacfic,
Kenneth and Max are going strong.....

Tropical storms or Hurricanes that were either short lived or tracked out
into the Atlantic (therfore not very newsworthy unless you're a mariner) -
the hurricance season can extend into November.....

Yep - plus they retire the names that cause massive damage and loss of

Now that would be a programme I would like to see again. It was a great

And after that, the well known country & western song "Stand By Your Man (if

possibilities. Do you think Fred will get blown by Wilma?
