2008 Hurricane names

We've heard plenty about hurricanes in this past week. The hurricane names you hear on TV aren't just made up by the media.

They're determined by the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane names are given alphabetically in order of appearance, with names beginning from A through W (except for Q and U). The lists of names are actually repeated every 6 years, and when one is really devastating, that hurricane name is retired. For example, Hurricane Katrinas was on the list in 1993 and 1999, but the 2005 one was so devastating that the name Katrina was retired.
