Atlantic Hurricane Season Contest: Name That Named Storm!

[Dan Askin]

During the six month Atlantic Hurricane Season -- which runs from June 1 through November 30 -- September 10 is the apex, the statistical "busiest" day of the season storm-wise. (And it's not just our imagination; the NOAA charts point to this over past 100-odd years).

So we're thinking the odds are pretty decent ... but just which named storm or storms is anyone's guess. You can find a complete list of Atlantic storm names in ... The Hurricane Zone (whisper the name, "The Hurricane Zone," for added effect).

THE CONTEST: Which Atlantic storm(s) will be active on September 10, at any time during the day, Eastern time? Vote for none, one, or several named storms. We'll choose one of the correct respondents at random to win a Cruise Critic Cruise Essentials Pack.

Contest will be open until Sunday night at 4:24 p.m. EST.

That was a pretty fun idea to name which hurricane will be active Sep 10. I'm gonna have to say Grace

[berbet]

I'm voting for Grace AND Henri.

Thats only next Thursday and there is a wave...which will become Fred...so I have to stick with that.....all I know is I'm cruising 9/19 and I don't want any out there.......not a one.....

Hey guys,

The poll is "public," meaning that your votes will be displayed for everyone to see. So when Sunday rolls around, we'll have a list to look at.

Thanks,

Dan

Ah ha, an interesting strategy. Hopefully self-fulfilling!

[kerri1jill]

I would say there will be two... Ida and Joaquin.

[jbrambach]

[teemsum]

I vote for Joaquin.

Fred and Grace (would have been better as Fred and Ginger!)

[klscaz]

My husband's name is Larry so I get to experience the storm on a daily basis!

[islandhoppin]

My vote is for Odette

[arlodog]

Henri and Ida gets my vote!

[Mikki]

I voted "None" I don't think that the rest of the season will be that active. Waves, maybe, Tropical Storms, Maybe but no hurricanes on Sept 10th.
