Pacific Northwest windstorms edit
Just adding some things I saw regarding the naming of these storms you might be interested in... “The fact that the 1962 storm took place on Oct. 12 – Columbus Day — made that storm easy to name, especially since storm-naming in the Pacific Northwest isn’t carefully managed the way tropical storm naming is in the southern United States. Ten years ago, it took a months’ long public contest to choose a name for the 2006 Hanukkah Eve windstorm. It remains to be seen whether or not this weekend’s storm will be worthy of a name, and most people are probably hoping it won’t. If it does “earn” a name, what does Ted Buehner think the storm should be called?”[1]
“the Weather Service office in Portland is calling the "Ides of October" storm.”[2]
Fujita edit
Ted Fujita proposed naming the April 3, 1974, tornado outbreak the “Jumbo Outbreak” as 747 was a designated jumbo jet and it occurred on the third day of the fourth in the 74th year of the 20th century.[3] Jason Rees (talk) 22:15, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
