Our Louisiana coastline has been getting pretty badly beaten up lately. We are just getting back to school after Gustav, and now we are about to get hit by Ike.
Some of you have been asking about hurricane names. This link will explain how hurricanes get their names.
http://www.fema.gov/kids/hunames.htm
Look at the three lists. Is your name (or a variation of your name) on the list?
- If your name is on the list, do a google search to see when and where that hurricane hit.
- If your name is not on any of the lists, look on the retired names list. Pick one that you find interesting. Google it to see when and where it hit.
Example Answer: My name is Irene. Hurricane Irene hit North Carolina on April 18, 2005.
