That's what I like most about El Nino is fish storms.
This one's from Jelani Norman on our Facebook.
Hashtag Hey, Rebecca, when do they retire hurricane names?
And so they meet once a year over the summer and they decide if they're going to retire hurricane names or not.
They retire hurricane names that have been particularly damaging or destructive.
And that way no one ever has to live through another Hurricane Katrina or anything like that.
Then they vote on what name to replace it with.
And it gets really complicated because the lists alternate male and female.
And also because of the time of the season, the letter I has the most retired names.
There aren't a lot of I names.
So some of the I names have started to get a little funky.
We're back to Isaias this year, which we all had fun learning how to pronounce a couple of years ago.
But it will start to look even more strange moving forward, especially right there in the middle of the alphabet, where our more damaging and destructive hurricanes do live.
So that should be interesting, of course.
All right.
That's right.
So now we have that supplementary list.
If we run through our list of names designated for this year, there's another list that we move to that's not the Greek alphabet.
Backups upon backups.
All right.
