	How Are Atlantic Hurricanes Named?
		In 1979, names of both genders were used for Atlantic hurricanes after eastern Pacific storms began to use male and female names.
		Each list is reused every six years, with the exception of the names of storms that have resulted in major damage or death.
		Those names are "retired," just like the number of a hockey or basketball player whose accomplishments are so far above the rest.

	Worldwide Tropical Cyclone Reconnaissance SuperTyphoon.com
		Landfalling major hurricanes have their names retired from the list of available hurricane names.
		The damage caused by a super typhoon is equivalent to a strong Category 4 or Category 5 hurricane, depending on how strong the typhoon is. Because conditions in the Northwest Pacific favor storm formation throughout most of the year, super typhoons are much more common than Category 5 hurricanes.
		For example, after Hurricane Charley made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane, its name was retired.

	Eastern Pacific Hurricane Names--Giving Tropical Storms and Hurricanes An Identity.
		Whenever, there is a devastating hurricane (usually one that is a major hurricane, and has caused significant damage) in any portion of the Eastern Pacific Basin, that hurricane's name is retired from the list for at least ten years, and probably forever so that future names are not confused with it.
		They used a rotating list of storm names over a six year cycle, and then recycle the list every six years unless, a storm or hurricane name is retired.
		The naming of tropical storms and hurricanes began in 1953 when the National Weather Service gave the storms female names.
