Name That Hurricane
Or maybe change your name to Oglethormp! Ever wonder why they name hurricanes? They name hurricanes to help meteorologists keep track of storms. Seriously. Just put them on the blockchain so my dumb friends can buy and sell the weather. Ever wonder how they choose the names of hurricanes? The World Meteorological Organization has pre-picked a list of male and female names to use and they just follow the order. A WEIRD hurricane fact: They started naming hurricanes in 1953 and ONLY used female names. Eesh. In 1978 (25 years later) they finally started using male and female names. All that being said, I think 2023 is the right year to start using names like Oglthormp!
