HURRICANE WHO?
        Tropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North and
South America. These forms go around like a wheel turning to the left when they hit
in the northern part of the world. They have wind speeds of 60kph or more. In the
United States, the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps an eye out for
hurricanes.
         When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use
either a male or female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name
makes it easy for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its
possible dangers.
         The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group
decides what names will be used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English
alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different letter. The first hurricane of the
year gets the first name on that year's list. The second hurricane gets the next name.
For examples, if the first hurricane is named Abel, the second might be named Betty.
The name lists do not include names beginning with the letters Q, U, X. Y and Z.
There aren't many names that begin with these letters.
          Asian countries use a different list, which is made up by the WMO's Typhoon
Committee. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of
flowers, animals, trees, and other similar things.
