| | When and Where Do Hurricanes Occur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Hurricanes are generally a summer phenomenon, but the length of the hurricane season varies in each basin, as does the peak of activity (Table 2). |
 | | Unless a hurricane name is retired and replaced by a new name, the list is recycled every six years (i.e., the names used in 1999 will be used again in 2005, the names used in 2000 will be used again in 2006, etc). |
 | | Hurricane Camille (1969), with sustained winds of at least 180 mph, produced a storm tide of 23 feet in Pass Christian, Mississippi. |
