BumpInTheNight: NeoCortex42: WTFdoesitmatter: As far in debt as our government is, I can't understand why they haven't gone the route of corporate sponsorship for naming the storms.

I'm not sure how many companies want a headline like "Southern US decimated by Pepsi, hundreds dead.

Think of the reverse, they pay not to get tagged:
"Thousands left homeless by Hurricane Goldman-Sachs."

I like that idea. How about this: All companies making over so much a year get entered into a lottery for hurricane names. Any company can have their name not included by paying additional taxes.

Manfred J. Hattan: It's pronounced "Kirok!"

Followed by Tropical Storm Miramanee, which will die out quickly after a brief appearance.

Wait just about 20 years and you'll feel ashamed for liking Hurricane Kirk when we're all killed by Hurricane Picard.

Oznog:

From the Atlantic's heart, I STAB AT THEE!
For hate's sake, I FLOOD Florida!

He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the Keys of Florida and 'round the Outer Banks and 'round Perdition's flames before I give him up!

When Hurricane Kirk hits, all you have to do is not wear a red shirt, you'll be fine.

And years later, Hurricane Janeway manages to reach land in Australia.

And then Hurricane Archer comes along and they decide to stop having hurricanes altogether.

With nobody paying attention to the hurricane until years after it's dissipated.

Yeah, but that is after Hurrican Sisko just spun for months in the middle of the Deep Atlantic, not really accomplishing anything other than diverting ships around it.

Trance750: ChubbyTiger: Wake me for hurricane Tiberius.

Or Hurricane George... just spinning a lot of hot air

It'll hit Haiti, declare Mission Accomplished, and be inexplicably used again next year.

/"hurricane george" was used despite there being more popular votes for "hurricane gore."

InternetSecurityGuard: I still say that NOAA is missing out by not letting companies sponsor these storms in exchange for naming rights and advertizing. Home Depot, Lowe's, Harbor Freight and Northern Tool would probably be all over this.

"Coverage of Hurricane Kirk is brought to you by Home Depot, your one stop for plywood, tarps, pumps and generators."

I actually can easily see that happening
