A Guide to Search Results for "Hurricane Lili" help - feedback - sponsor this guide Web surfers looking for information about "Hurricane Lili" in 2002 were more likely than not to find information about the Hurricane Lili that struck in 1996. It is standard practice to use an alphabetical list of alternating male and female names to identify tropical storms and hurricanes, with one name for each letter of the alphabet. A tropical storm is classified as a hurricane if its maximum sustained winds exceed 33 meters per second, but only if it occurs in the North Atlantic Ocean, in the North Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or in the South Pacific Ocean east of 160°E longtitude. In other areas, hurricanes are referred to as typhoons, tropical cyclones, severe tropical cyclones, or severe cyclonic storms. This terminology is defined by the World Meteorological Organization. Whether or not they reach hurricane strength, the next two tropical storms to occur after Lili in the regions of the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and/or the North Atlantic Ocean will be named Marco (male) and Nana (female). These names are routinely recycled, except in those instances when a particular named hurricane achieves a certain amount of notoriety for death and destruction. In these instances, it is standard practice to retire its name and replace it with another name of the same gender that begins with the same letter; unless the name Lili is retired, it will be used again in 2008.
