The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
ReplyDeleteannounced in 1978 that it would alternate men's and women's
names in the naming of hurricanes. It was seen as an attempt
at fair play. Hurricanes had been named for women for years,
until NOAA succumbed to pressure from women's groups who
were demanding that Atlantic storms be given unisex names.
