I subscribe to a biweekly online newsletter featuring current and upcoming Census Bureau data releases (see link below) which can be interesting. Today they sent an update that the 2008 Hurricane season begins June 1st. I thought maybe they would name a storm Lucy this year but that’s not the case. There is, however, a lot of interesting information on storms and storm naming to be found.
