Travel / Re: Why Hurricanes Have Human Names by bknight: 10:42am On Sep 14, 2018 |
Yuneek: Your post was indeed informative. Just that I (and a few others) thought it should have answered the question it raised: 'Why human names, particularly female names?'. Unfortunately, the post did not provide answers. That only missing part was essential to make the post complete. Here's my first post on this thread. My comment meant no harm... bknight: Goodluck to you and the 'handful' that read the OP and found the answers therein 1 Like |

Yuneek: According to earthsky.org "In 1953, to avoid the repetitive use of names, the system was revised so that storms would be given female names. By doing this, the National Weather Service was mimicking the habit of naval meteorologists, who named the storms after women, much as ships at sea were traditionally named for women." cc: offpoint chidemavian udemzy101 Ishilove alabi484 Seenga DCLXV1 nelronaldo |

Since Yuneek the dumb poster considers herself too educated to enlighten others, instead of reading her post again, I decided to find out elsewhere. According to this clown's post, the reason is because using latitude/longitude designations to name hurricanes gets to confuse people. I consider this as an advantage of using human names but, not the reason for using human names. Why use human names, particularly female names?.. According to earthsky.org "In 1953, to avoid the repetitive use of names, the system was revised so that storms would be given female names. By doing this, the National Weather Service was mimicking the habit of naval meteorologists, who named the storms after women, much as ships at sea were traditionally named for women." I may not lay as much claim to education as Yuneek, but common sense does not lead astray neither. 1 Like |

Yuneek, are you still typing? Because I am still waiting to read why they are identified by human names, especially female names. It won’t be as informative as it should without answering the very question the thread sought to answer. 3 Likes |
