Allison was a Tropical Storm, not a Hurricane. Interestingly, the only TS to have its name retired.

They surely retire a lot! They will run out of names. While I agree some (Katrina, eg) should be retired forever, it seems to me many of the lesser retirees could come back into circulation after a while, 30 years or something.

Great quiz! I really liked it! Managed to get 14! Typed in George with now luck...turned out it was Georges...but in any case, I should have gotten 'G' as Gustav!

Would a hurricane named Gale be redundant?

I loved how the year they retired Katrina (the same year as Rita I believe), they introduced two new names...Kat and Rina. Were they even trying?

@Nathanmiller...did you see the damage Allison caused to Houston? I couldn't get out of my apartment for 3 days...we had to wait for the water to go down and the freeways to open up. It was NOT a fun time!

Fern was never used again, with no reason given. I wonder if they would ever retire Alpha?

the 2005 atlantic hurricane season was the strongest ever on record, and a record 5 names were retired: dennis, katrina, rita, stan, wilma. 1955, 1995, and 2004 all had 4 names retired: connie, diane, ione, janet (1955), luis, marilyn, opal, roxanne (1995), and charley, frances, ivan, jeanne (2004).

Hmm. I don't remember Paloma. I got all the ones I should have gotten, though.

this quiz should be renamed, "type Katrina, Andrew (possibly Ivan if you are susceptible to media hype), (and possibly dennis, rita, wilma if you had a relative in the Gulf Coast), then type random names"
