Why did they name Hurricane Katrina that name?

Answer 1

All hurricanes and tropical storms get their names from the same source: the scientific community agreed about 2 decades ago on several names that would span the entire alphabet, each set would be used for each year, and the sets would be cycled through and repeated every seven years.

Answer 2

They use both male and female names for hurricanes, and of all ethnic backgrounds. It was completely random, the only reason it's so famous is because everyone in the world kept saying it over and over. There were plenty of hurricanes that were just as devistating - but you mostly heard about Katrina because of the outcry after it was through that Bush hates black people. Which is complete BS

Answer 3

It was the next name on the hurricane listing--they have listings for the next 10 years or so, they alternate between male and female names

Answer 4

I think they come up with all the names before the hurricane season begins.

Answer 5

For naming hurricanes, they go down the alphabet. It happened to be K's turn for that storm.

Answer 6

It was the next name on the list.

Answer 7

its named after the person who discovered or found the hurricane

Answer 8

Because hurricanes are like women
wild and wet when they arrive but leave very little when they leave

Answer 9

They choose all the names in advance - going alphabetically and alternating between men and women names.

Answer 10

Why not??
