The National
Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida is responsible for naming hurricanes in
the North Atlantic basin. When a weather disturbance intensifies into a tropical
storm, the Hurricane Center assigns the storm a name from one of the
following six lists. These lists are recycled but individual storm names
are retired when a hurricane causes significant damage.

The letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not included because there aren't very many
names
beginning with those letters. This has not been a problem yet however since
there
aren't enough
hurricanes in
any given season to use names that begin with a letter from the end
of the alphabet.
