Now, the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO) generates and maintains the list of hurricane names. National Hurricane Center started this practice in the early 1950s. These experts assign names to tropical storms according to an approved list before the start of each hurricane season. Where do hurricane names come from?ĭid you ever wonder how hurricanes get their names, and why they have names at all? Meteorologists long ago learned that naming tropical storms and hurricanes helps people remember the storms, communicate about them more effectively, and consequently stay safer if and when a particular storm strikes a coast. Seven of those named storms were hurricanes, and four of them became major hurricanes. It marks the sixth consecutive above-normal Atlantic hurricane season, and this was the first time on record that two consecutive hurricane seasons exhausted the list of 21 storm names. … the third most active year on record in terms of named storms. They predict that six to ten of those will become hurricanes, and that there should be between three to six major hurricanes with winds 111 mph (179 kph) or higher. They’re predicting an above-average season for the seventh-consecutive year, with 14 to 21 named storms. On May 24, 2022, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Climate Prediction Center ( NOAA) released the hurricane season outlook for this year. The Library of Congress has 17 Laurent flutes, it said.The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season officially starts June 1 and extends through November 30. Only 185 of Claude Laurent's glass flutes remain, the library said, and his crystal flutes are especially rare. Most of the collection - including Madison's crystal flute - was donated in 1941 by Dayton Miller, a physicist, astronomer and ardent collector of flutes.
Lizzo spent more than three hours at the library, trying out several instruments, staff members said.
Hayden and staff members ushered her into the "flute vault" and gave her a tour of the collection. "We just made history tonight." The moment came together after Carla Hayden, the first African American and first woman to lead the Library of Congress, asked Lizzo last month to visit the library's flute collection, the largest in the world, with about 1,700 of the instruments. "I just twerked and played James Madison's crystal flute from the 1800s," Lizzo proclaimed. She then carried the flute over her head, giving the crowd at Capital One Arena one last look, before handing it back to Ward-Bamford. It's like playing out of a wineglass." As the crowd roared, Lizzo played a note, stuck out her tongue in amazement and played another note, trilling it as she twerked in front of thousands of cheering fans.
"I'm scared," Lizzo said as she took the instrument from Carol Ward-Bamford, a curator at the Library of Congress. A classically trained flutist who began playing when she was in fifth grade, rapper Lizzo played a crystal flute that a French craftsman made for President James Madison in 1813.Karins also said Roker is feeling well, telling viewers, "He wants to be here." Kotb and fellow hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie have tested positive for covid-19 this year as well. "He's home." Roker, 68, hasn't publicly commented on his absence. "We're happy to say he's feeling fine, just mild symptoms," she continued. "Some people have been wondering during the storm, 'Where is Al?' Al happened to test positive for covid," Hoda Kotb told viewers Thursday, according to People. "Today" show weatherman Al Roker is experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for covid-19, causing fellow NBC meteorologist Bill Karins to stand in for the morning program's coverage of Hurricane Ian.
