	When and Where Do Hurricanes Occur
		A few of many examples include the Philippines (Typhoon Kelly (1981) with 140 killed; Tropical Storm Thelma (1991) with 3000 killed), China (Typhoons Peggy (1986) with 170 killed; Herb (1996) with 779 killed; and Nina (1975) with at least 10,000 killed), and Korea (Typhoon Thelma (1987) with 368 killed or missing).
		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).
