 | | Atlantic and Eastern Pacific name lists are rotated year by year (weather officials will use the 2002 list again in 2008, with new names to replace those - like Hugo and Andrew - that have gone to major, "killer" storms). |
 | | The eye wall is the ring of the thunderstorms surrounding the eye of a hurricane; these storms bring the most severe wind, rain and turbulence. |
 | | If youve ever wondered why hurricanes dont rage in the South Atlantic, its because those waters are simply too cool (the ocean surface must be above 82ยบ F for a hurricane to form). |
