  • "Since 1953, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) used a naming list that contained only female names. Throughout the years, feminist groups criticized this practice, especially in the aftermath of hurricanes Eloise in 1975 and Belle in 1976.[7] However, in May 1978, NOAA administrator Richard A. Frank announced by a list with male and female names would be used in the eastern Pacific Ocean that year and in the Atlantic by 1979, after submitting a proposal to the World Meteorological Organization.[8]" stick this with your fingers into the storm names section? :P YE Pacific Hurricane 19:02, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
