Fun quiz on Sporcle - list every retired Atlantic hurricane

Can you name all of the retired Atlantic hurricane names? I just made this quiz, and given the lack of activity in the Atlantic, I thought it might be fun to take a stroll down memory lane to remember some of the great storms of the past.

74 out of 74 here without looking at any sites...

I doubt we'll see any new additions for 2009 though.

I can take solace in knowing that the 3 I couldn't remember are all among the 4 least remembered names.

Thanks all for trying the retired Atlantic hurricanes. I got a new, much tougher one, for all of you people still around following where the tropics are active.

Try and enter all of the names on the typhoon list. Good luck!

The only way to solve that is by pulling up the namelist in another screen. That is the ONLY possible way. :lol:

I got 43/74 but officially 39/74 because I couldn't spell four of them correctly. I wanted to remember Donna so bad but I had a brain freeze during the last 30 seconds! I hate that!

Another fun one. Try to name the entire Atlantic hurricane naming list! Good luck, and don't forget the recent retirees.
