Hazel was the deadliest & costliest hurricane of the 1954 season, but was only a category 4.

It came to mind because if I remember correctly it was the one and only hurricane to hit Toronto.

Yes - it first made landfall at the SC/NC border, but when it moved north, it reformed & intensified and slammed into Toronto.

Well my quizz is why Poohbear needs to wear an Aussie slouch hat to defend himself.

But .... even though I'm setting the quizz, only Poohbear can inform the answer!

My guess ..... poobear's a bronzed ANZAC in disguise!!!

I think he maybe had a fling with an ANZAC chick at some time in his career and they swapped hats.

Ivan - 1994?

Pure guesses. Trying to think of any retired hurricane names.

I figure it has to be Camille. Hit the New Orleans area late 1960s. Don't recall the exact year.

You are correct - it made landfall in Louisiana & Mississippi, and then wiped out the Gulf Coast. 1969.

Hamlet & red_pheonix both got one right - so either one can jump in with the new question!

So a quick hurricane related question. Starting in 1952 in the US Atlantic tropical storms/hurricanes were given female names, replacing the previous use of Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet designations.



In what year was the practice modified to include both male and female names and what was the first male name used?

This happened when I was a kid, but I only vaguely remember the details. Was it Bob in 1978?

Bob is correct, and I consider 1978 close enough to the exact answer of 1979 to make you or red_pheonix up next.
