They are named by the World Meteorological Organization which is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

They rotate the names every 6 years. There was also a Hurricane Isaias in 2020.

They usually retire the name if it causes death and destruction.

Isaias is the Spanish and Portuguese form of the biblical name Isaiah.

Hurricanes don't just effect English speaking United States land.

And they're named so people have a point of reference...especially for disaster declarations and historical reference, etc. as well as for communication when multiple storms occur simultaneously.

The things you guys try to make an issue over never cease to amaze.

I tend to agree with you on this particular issue. This whole naming thing is/was a nothingburger, imo.

I agree (and take some blame for blowing this out of proportion with my multiple posts).
