00:00Hurricane season starts June 1st and the 2026 names are already set. We'll even have one that's never been used
00:05before.
00:06The first Atlantic storm will be Arthur, followed by Bertha and Cristobal. If those sound familiar, they should.
00:11Hurricane names rotate every six years and many were last used during the historic 2020 season when 30 storms formed
00:18and we had to go to the backup list using the Greek alphabet.
00:21Now, one big change this year, Leah replaces Laura, which was retired after its devastating impact.
00:25Laura caused dozens of deaths, was a billion-dollar disaster, and broke records before it even made landfall in Louisiana.
00:32Storm names exist to make warnings clear and easy to follow, especially when multiple systems are spinning at once.
00:37There are 21 names on the Maid Atlantic list, including Dolly, Kyle, Isaias, and Nana.
00:43And if we run out again, there's a supplemental list ready to go, just not Greek letters this time.
