First of all, I just wanted to say my thoughts are with the people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia and Haiti, concerning their recent hurricane...err...storm afliction. But as I was going through the news, a thought occurred to me. Ever wondered why hurricanes have human names? Funny concept I know but then it just hit me that like myself, there are probably millions of people out there that have no clue why that is the case. So I decided a little research was in order. Apparently, it is helpful to name hurricanes as more than one could be active at the same time and most people relate better with names than numbers. So there, at least I know now even though it was so obvious!
