With all the news about "Sandy", I looked for Hurricane Trivia

The Atlantic Hurricane Season is June 1 - November 30. Until 1979' all hurricanes had female names. In 1979, the WMO began alternating male and female names. The Sunshine State, Florida has had more direct hurricane hits than another state - 60 direct hits between 1900-2000.

Deadliest Storm - Hit Galveston, Teaxas in 1900, over 8,000 reported deaths.

Costliest Strorm - Hurricane Andrew in 1992, most property damage in South Florida and parts of Loisianna, 26 billion ( not based on inflation)

Longest Lasting Storm - Hurricane John, in 1994, lasting 31 days.

Highest Storm Surge - Camille in 1969, 25 feet storm surge in Mississippi.

This is interesting. Times like the past few days, I'm glad to be in the middle of the prairie. Earthquakes to the west and a crazy storm to the east.

Wouldn't you hate to have the name Sandy this week?

They do retire the names if it's a really bad storm. I can think of Andrew and Katrina that have been retired. I'd hate to have those names too...
