Do you know a male hurricane?
Why hurricanes are always female? I mean people name them with female names like Katrina or Sandy. Why not hurricane Bill, Mike or something?
|
ever heard of google? :-)
they have female names 'cause when they leave they've taken everything: your car, your house... A male hurricane is called a himmicane BTW... ok, ok... extremely lame answers, but I thought they'd match the question... |
i know that I'd like to touch you, innaproprialy?
|
I think the name list alternates female>male>female>male>female>male... but they are named when they are far out to sea and a lot never reach the land to do any damage. You only remember the ones that destroyed somewhere.

Ever heard of Hurricane Andrew. It slammed into FL causing Billions in damages.
|
Before Andrew there was a Hurricane David back in 1979. I remember riding that one out as a kid in FL. It was a cat 5, that ran the entire coast line of the US from the keys all the way to Maine.

There was also Gilburt or Gilbert in the 80's, caused billions in damage as well. I can still remember my cousin crying about hurricane Andrew going to fuck us up in Wisconsin when we were kids, haha.

Sent 10'+ perfect swells off the coast of NJ. Right rides and hollow barrels. |
In 1978, meteorologists watching storms in the Eastern North Pacific began using men's names for half of the storms. Meteorologists for the Atlantic ocean began using men's names in 1979.

They need to start naming Hurricanes after climate change deniers... "Hurricane Michelle Bachman destroyed 500 Miles of South Carolina today.... "
