∙ 12y agoHurricane Andrew got its name like all other hurricanes did. Since Hurricane Andrew was the first storm of the 1992 Atlantic Hurricane season, it was named a name starting with A. The second storm has a name starting with B. Meteorologists create a list of 21 names and they are reused every 6 years. If a storm was especially destructive or notable, then that name is taken off the list of names and is replaced by a name starting with the same letter. The letters Q, W, X, Y, and Z are not used. If the number of storms in a season is more than 21 then meteorologists use Greek letter names such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Epsilon, and Zeta. That happened in 2005.
