I came across this today, whilst sitting on the balcony sofa trying not to move, it's so hot: The Official Hurricane Centre Guide for the correct pronunciation of 2011's hurricanes, just what everybody needs.
We are now watching 'KAY-tyah' which is meant to go far north of us on Monday, so normal hurricane alerts out but we'll only get some wind and rain. Not sure what happenend to 'ho-ZAY' - where did that one go? This time last year we were only on E (Earl pronounced Er-LL?).
Wonder why there arn't just simple names like Fred & Amy? It's also not very diverse is it? We need a few Amils and Fatimas and Mpho's, dont't we?
