Next year there should definitely be a Hurricane Kellina. I don't really have my hopes up.

*gasp* Ileana is my grandmother's name! And I've never seen it anywhere... how cool.

I like the name Lane.

lol at Hurricane Lane. Except in the Pacific they are called Monsoons, so it probably wasn't that funny.

I really like Helene. Hurricane Helene. That sounds like a nn for a crazy girl. :)

i don't think i would have been too thrilled to have the name Katrina last year...

i wonder if you can submit names for hurricanes....

When do you think hurricane Nevaeh will hit?

[sisterjoy.livejournal.com]

maybe never. looks like they use the same 6 lists over and over again unless a name is retired because the storm was deadly or costly. 2005 retired storm names - Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma.
