Preparing for a hurricane without hurricane windows.
Chrissy Shumaker tapes store windows in Four
Corner Plaza in Onley, VA., Sept. 15, 2003,

Hurricane Name Game
This 2004 satellite image shows Tropical Storm
Bonnie, left, over the Gulf of Mexico, and
Hurricane Charley, right, over the Caribbean
Sea. Atlantic tropical storms have been named
since 1953; the World Meteorological
Organization now maintains the six lists,
which are used in rotation. If a storm is
too deadly, its name can be deemed offensive
and retired. (NASA / AP)
