Get Your Impact Windows Ready: The 2010 Hurricane Names
Hurricane Season is on the way. Time to install new hurricane windows.
The list of 2010 Atlantic Ocean Hurricane names has already been decided, as it typical is. Generated by the National Hurricane Center, the names of the hurricanes always start from A and continues on until W, and then starts from the top again. However, the letters Q and U are both excluded. The National Hurricane Center has been pre-approving the list since 1953, and up until 1979 the list only consisted of female names. Currently, the lists alternate between male and female.
However, new lists are not created each year. There are a half-dozen lists at the moment that are rotated every six years. The only time a list changes is when a hurricane name is “retired” because of the massive devastation it causes. For example, the 2010 hurricane name list is the same as 2004, except that Charlay, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne have been replaced by Colin, Fiona, Igor, and Julia.
The list of 2010 Hurricane names:
Alex
Bonnie
Colin
Danielle
Earl
Fiona
Gaston
Hermine
Igor
Julia
Karl
Lisa
Matthew
Nicole
Otto
Paula
Richard
Shary
Tomas
Virginie
Walter
Whether its Alex, Fiona, or Karl, when the Hurricane comes, you better have your impact resistant windows ready.
