Fiona is such a pretty name, kinda reminds me of Shrek

Of course, we expected these storms to be retired. (Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne)

Actually, Frances was going to be retired after this year, regardless of striking Florida.

5.20 The Committee recalled that, at its session in 2002, the delegate from France requested consideration of a change of the name "Frances", which is on the list for 2004, to be made at this session. The Committee agreed to change the name after the 2004 hurricane season. The Committee also decided to retire the names of the three hurricanes that caused significant damage and loss of life during 2002. These were Isidore and Lili in the North Atlantic basin, and Kenna in the Eastern North Pacific basin. Regarding a change of the name "Lili", it will be made at the twenty-sixth session of the Committee in April 2004. The other two, i.e. Isidore and Kenna were replaced by the names Ike and Karina respectively, which will be reflected in the WMO RA IV Hurricane Operational Plan.

"Igor" !:eek: That name sounds just as scary and bad as "Ivan The Terrible" Just imagine: Dangerous Category 4 Hurricane Igor with winds of 140 mph is "Bearing" down on the Florida West Coast at this hour . A "BEAR WATCH has now been issued for all of Florida

My early impressions:

Colin could make an impressive debut. Fish but C3 hurricane in 2010.
Fiona....nope. Weak TS debut
Igor, this name just doesn't sound like a big one to me right now.
Julia, interesting. Could be a C2 hurricane for the Caribbean, but no retirement in 2010.

But, we'll see.

I THINK YOU ARE GOING WAY AHEAD, LIKE 5 YEARS!

Hey, I can have some fun with the new ones, can't I? Seriously, may none be affected by the storms, but it's little different from the poll we always do every year of which name most sounds like the big one....just do these new names sound like big ones, yes or no.

Sure thing...it's all guess and game. I'll take a crack:

Colin-August Hurricane
Fiona-Nasty Caribbean storm
Igor-Maybe a weak TS or a Major for the North Gulf Coast
Julia-Major Hurricane

What would you think of this list if you think Colin, Fiona and Julia will be retired?

Igor, lol. All I can see is Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein replying to Gene Wilder "no it's "I gor" when he calls him "E gor". I wonder which way it will be pronounced. Oh well, I guess it's not a bad as Hurricane "Bob".
