Hello everyone - things have been quiet here since the end of the 2007 hurricane season. We are dusting off the furniture and have plans to do some fixing up soon - adding new features, RSS feeds, and perhaps a redesign to the whole hurricane section. As always - we hope it is a quiet one!
Here are the names for the 2008 season:
Arthur
Bertha
Cristobal
Dolly
Edouard
Fay
Gustav
Hanna
Ike
Josephine
Kyle
Laura
Marco
Nana
Omar
Paloma
Rene
Sally
Teddy
Vicky
Wilfred
It would be great to get some more feedback, comments, etc. from all of you this year.

These names are great. How do we submit our ideas for next year? Also, can you tell me what's going on with Dolly? We live in Playa del Carmen and are trying to find out more. Thanks!

The names are set by the National Hurricane Center - I don't think it is something the general public has input on!
As to this latest storm, Dolly, I would monitor your local news as close as you can, and check the NHC site - they post regular updates. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov
