According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_retired_Atlantic_hurricane_names There's 71 retired names. Looks like this quiz is missing quite a bit.

If you look at the instructions it says that 70 hurricane names have been retired but this game only includes the 32 deadliest.

I typed Andrew about 5 times! I was thinking the same thing cuz that one devastated Eastern Florida.

Andrew, though massively destructive, was surprisingly un-deadly. It's only the 34th deadliest, with a mere 65 deaths, compared to the brutallity of Mitch, which killed 18,000.

Hurricanes are usually measured both in terms of deaths and damage. It would probably be better to include in this table the 20 deadliest hurricanes along with the 20 most damaging. Many would overlap, but Andrew should be included here, as should Charlie and probably Wilma.

My mistake. I simply looked at the quiz's title from the main page.

I would like to see one of all of the retired Atlantic hurricanes, since some of the well-known ones (big US ones like Andrew, Opal, Fran, Isabel, Wilma) aren't on there.

I think they should be organized by deadliest to lest deadliest rather than year. I'd learn a bit more from it then.
