Hello and welcome to another edition of Truth or Fail, where today we're going to go all weather channel on you and talk about hurricanes. We are currently in what is traditionally the most active period of hurricane season in August and September. And while this is one natural disaster I don't have to worry about here in Montana, I did grow up in Florida, so I am quite familiar with this crazy and often scary weather phenomenon.

And of course, I have to point out that when we're talking about hurricanes, we're really talking about technically tropical cyclones known also in different parts of the world as typhoons or simply as cyclones. That little bit of trivia's on the house. You're gonna have to play if you want more.

Round number one: Names

Fact number one: As you know, hurricanes and cyclones that originate in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans all receive names and the list of names is maintained and updated by the World Meteorological Organization. But did you know that there has never been a hurricane named Hank.

Or

Fact number two: There has been a hurricane named John, but the reason you might not know it is that that name has been retired which is what happens after a storm is so deadly or costly that it becomes inappropriate to keep it in rotation. The final hurricane John struck the Baja peninsula in 1979 and it was a bad one.
