So it’s a regular thing to keep an eye on hurricane season, not something I expected to have to worry about when we moved to Nwingland, and I was looking up the names for the 2015 season. Ana, Bill, Ida, _yawn_. (Although I’ll say right now that Ida gives me a shiver. Let’s revisit this in a few months.) And then I notice we have Peter, followed by Rose. I bet those storms come in head first. ---

If they become a major lets hope they don’t gain too much fame. ---

It’d be even better if there was a Charlie this year. ---

The NHC has a [good page](http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames_history.shtml) on cyclone names. (Starting with the fact that “cyclone” is the preferred term over the regional ones like hurricane and typhoon.) No answer on Q. However, it does reference the Frieda/Fern mystery. 🙂 ETA: Man, 2005 sucked, and Katrina was just one of five reasons why.
