Why do all the really big hurricanes have Russian names? - GoFuckYourself.com

Category IV hurricanes -- Ivan, Katrina.

While lesser ones like the one they're tracking today that JUST grew big enough to even be considered a hurricane gets the name "Maria"

I get the feeling those who track and name these storms are trying to subliminally promote the old notion of "the big bad evil Russians are the worst hurricanes, while the smallest most un-threatening ones all bear western/american names."

You watch, the next cat-5 hurricane will be named something like "Igor" or "Valerie", "Alexiev", "Olga" (as in Russian Gymnast Olga Korbut), "Anya" or "Vladimir".

ph3ar :D

Sorry, mistakenly I typed "IV".... Ivan and Katrina were of course category-5 hurricanes.

So you're saying they're all Russian names, that all threats to the USA in the form of tropical storms of that magnitude are Russian?.... Interesting. :D

Hurricane names are chosen LONG before the storms are developed. There's no real basis in fact for naming them Russian names on purpose due to their strength. Check out www.NOAA.gov for more details regarding the naming of hurricanes.

You are obviously part of the conspiracy.

I don't think "Katrina" is a Russian name. Ekaterina is Russian.

I believe you're right.

Katrina is German, meaning "pure".

I personally think we should name them after cities in Canada.
