Hurricane Names Sent Packing
Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma--we hardly knew ye. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that these names won't be used any more for hurricanes. They'll be replaced by Don, Katia, Rina, Sean and Whitney. This sets a new record for number of names retired in a single hurricane season. The names are put out to pasture, NOAA says, for "sensitivity reasons and to establish distinction within the scientific and legal communities."
