Merry Christmas!

Thank you for offering the Christmas Tree Stand, I just purchased the TS297WL and I appreciate the free shipping. I also appreciate the fact that my 14 foot tree will not fall over 3-5 times this year! Have a great Christmas and I am sure my friends and neighbors will be very interested where I purchased this tree stand.

In the U.S., hurricanes have been given names since 1953, when the National Weather Service started using women's names to name each individual storm. In 1979, they started using men's names in addition to women's names.

Today, the World Meterological Organization keeps six lists of names for hurricanes and tropical storms. These six lists are used in rotation, so for example, you'll notice below that the names used in 1998 are the same as those used in 2004, 1999 names were the same as 2005, and so on. The only time a name is retired is if a storm is particularly damaging or deadly. In that case, a new name will be chosen.

The names are used in alphabetical order, one name for each letter of the alphabet with the exception of Q, U, X, Y, and Z. If a hurricane season turns out to be particularly active, and all names are used, then they begin using the greek alphabet to name out the rest of that season's storms. You can see below that this happened in 2005.
