This article is talking about the Atlantic Hurricane Season in 2010.  In all, 19 storms were named.  2010 is tied with 1995 for the number of storms named in second place.  Only 2005 has surpassed this amount.  None of the Hurricanes affected the United States in a significant way, despite the fact that that is possible considering our past destructions.

Naming Hurricanes

I think it is very interesting how hurricanes are named.  I never knew how or why the names were what they are.  I would assume that the majority of people also are unaware of how the names are picked.  The hurricanes are names in alfabetical order alternating between male and female names.  Also depending on which part of the world, typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are named according to placement.
