Why do they name hurricanes anyway? What's the concept behind this? Why don't they use that time wisely and LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WEATHER?!!?!!!!

What do they call tornados? A tornado - you get the message. They don't say "Tornado Timmy is comming, flee."

If they are going to name hurricanes, why don't they give it a name that applies, like "Jesus Christ on a crutch!" followed by the next big one "Hoooooooooooly F'in Moses"
