why don't they use the last letters of the alphabet for naming hurricanes?

Answer 1

How are Hurricanes Named?
Hurricanes names are chosen from a list selected by the World Meteorological Organization. The Atlantic is assigned six lists of names, with one list used each year. Every sixth year, the first list begins again. Each name on the list starts with a different letter, for example, the name of the very first hurricane of the season starts with the letter A, the next starts with the letter B, and so on. The letters "Q", "U", "X", "Y" and "Z", however, are not used.

The letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are not included because of the scarcity of names beginning with those letters. Names associated with storms that have caused significant death and/or damage are usually retired from the list.

Answer 2

They would, but fortunately, there aren't enough hurricanes to go through the entire alphabet. There. I should get best answers, shouldn't I?

Answer 3

That wouldn't have occured to anyone naming the tornados.

Now that you've suggested it, I shall give the new storm with 'z' for a strating!
