Names have been given to storms (or tropical cyclones) for at least the last 100 years. According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), it is easier for people to remember names than numbers and technical terms.

When reported by the media, this in turn makes it easier to generate interest in major storms and therefore increase how prepared people are for a major storm to hit.

In the beginning, storms were given arbitrary names. An Atlantic storm that ripped the mast off a boat named Antje became known as Antje's hurricane.

Then, in the mid-1900s, people started using female names for storms.Then, meteorologists decided to introduce a more organised and efficient system, taking names instead from a list arranged alphabetically.

The first storm to occur in a year would be assigned a name beginning with A, and so on. Before the end of the 1900s, forecasters used male names for storms forming in the southern hemisphere.

Since 1953, storms in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and the North Atlantic have been named from lists drawn up by the National Hurricane Center.

They are now maintained and updated by an international committee of the WMO. The original list featured only women's names and in 1979, men's names were introduced and now they alternate each year. Six lists are used in rotation, so the list for 2016 will be used again in 2022.

Hmmm...trouble in heaven; signs in the sun, moon and stars; and on the earth, distress of nations with perplexity, men wondering at what is coming upon the earth.

End time Hurricane Mathew.

Lol. Yeah I got that feeling from the comments. Try bungee jumping, a zip line or skydive to trigger that first adrenaline rush, the rest will naturally come.
