Aww is a child's game compared to what Katrina did in S.Fl.

All in all, hope it wasnt that much of a catastrophe.

I know even Ike in 2008

2.5 million people were moved. may the soul of the dead be in peace.

it is well. My sis is visiting in that area, Washington, everyone at home is kinda nervous but she says its not near her side, thank God.

God is in control

Too many disaster happening in the world. Sign of Endtime. Nigeria is still better than after spending money to travel abroad, hurricane Nnenna abi Irene will wipe off both my family and properties. Nigeria remains my home.

Different disaster everywhere. Natural disaster, Human disaster, Bombing, War, Rebels, even self, emotional disaster. Na only God go save us.

Shallow minded nairalander! If our so-called meteorologist prepare the Nigeria citizens and keep records of those storms, floods and natural disasters in Nigeria, what name would they have given the flood that killed many, wasted/destroyed properties in Lagos last month? or the flood that just happened in Ibadan? or those tropical storms in the Northern and Eastern part of Nigeria that claimed houses/roofs without property insurance for any meaningful compensation?

Fashola and his team make a mockery of GEJ because he didnt respond switfly to Lagos flood last month - Poor Preparedness, Poor Response and Painful recovery process.

Every nation has their own natural disaster, i live in Nigeria but your comment is very shallow and i think you need to be told that such comments is unwarranted.
Chikena!

How did they come about naming those disasters? how relevant or correlalated are those names? just wanna know!

OMG!dis s bad,God pls cme 2 deir rescue!

I have been meaning to ask this.I wanna knw too

i tink hurricanes are named afta women

Oh Lord, make haste to help them

hurricanes/tropical storms and typhons are the only things named (other natural disasters arnt) and the names alternate boy girl boy girl. (is the a is a girl, ba a boy then next year a will be a boy and b will be a girl). names are never used twice and not every letter is used. on one instance they had run out of names and had to restart at a again. practice started in 1953. used to identify storms. multiple storms can occure at the same time or hit the same region, names make it easier to distinquish them

"i tink hurricanes are named afta women"

U make me laugh, so what should we call our own Artificial Hurricanes here?

"Hurricane Boko" abi "Hurricane Militant"

these storms are named after the scientist or person who first dictated it. If its a lady it bears her first name, be it a guy same goes. these storms are named after the scientist or person who first dictated it. If its a lady it bears her first name, be it a guy same goes.

@ Anextin; Thanx 4 dis info

hurricanes are named after what part of the ocean they are coming from like Atlantic ocean, Pacific ocean etc. hurricanes coming from these ocean already have existing names (more dan 30 each) to be given to them as they unfold.its just funny that the very big ones we hear abt were incidentally in line for female names.
so the next one we might not hear about cuz its small might be hurricane jose which we mit not hear abt

they are not named after scientist that first dictated it pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Who says we don't have hurricanes in Nigeria? We have them enough:
1. Hurricane Boko Haram
2. Hurricane Kidnappers
3. Hurricane PHCN
4. Hurricane PDP
5. Hurricane Jos Crisis
Just to name a few.

On a more serious note we thank God the Hurricane was broken into only a tropical storm,it could have been worse.My heart goes to those who lost loved ones and properties.
