00:00Well, we've been talking all about Tropical Storm Imelda, which will strengthen into Hurricane Imelda.
00:07And when we get to our I names, a lot of them have actually been stronger storms that have had the name retired.
00:15Now, we lucked out with Imelda where we're looking at very minimal impacts.
00:18But when we compare by the numbers each letter, how many storms starting with that letter have been retired?
00:25Well, there's a clear outlier here. 13 names retired from letter I.
00:30We had 10 from letter F. A lot of these, it's just one or two.
00:34So what's going on with all of these I names?
00:37Why are they so strong that we end up retiring in the name, which usually it's a storm that has caused catastrophic damage.
00:44That is when a name ends up retired.
00:47You're seeing a video from Hurricane Ida on the right hand side of your screen.
00:50This was retired, that storm from 2021, responsible for a significant number of deaths and catastrophic damage into Louisiana there, especially.
01:00Ian also retired from back in 2022, some of the more recent ones.
01:03So what's going on?
01:04Well, part of it has to do with hurricane season and when we see the peak.
01:09That tends to be right around September 10th.
01:12And a lot of our storms in August, September, even a little bit into October.
01:15So we start out the season with some named storms typically.
01:19So by the time we get to the peak, some stronger storms were to the letter I.
01:24That's part of the problem here and what's going on and why we end up with these I storms retired so often here.
01:33We get to the peak of hurricane season.
01:35We end up with these stronger storms.
01:37We've already had a couple of named storms.
01:40Now, a reminder how all of this works.
01:43The World Meteorological Organization has a rotating list of names here.
01:47That's where all of these names come from.
01:49And when a name is retired, then it gets replaced on the list.
01:51Oh, there was another owning.
01:56The World algunas.
01:57The World Meteorological Organization is an amazing idea and is a great way.
02:00Thanks, Chris.
02:01causing concern, things like these storms are being used for such a gegen three-fourth-est.
