For a tropical storm to get a name, its top sustained winds much reach 39 mph. To qualify as a hurricane, those peak sustained winds must hit 74 mph.

The names are maintained by the World Meteorological Organization, and get recycled every six years. But names of devastating storms – like Katrina, Sandy, Gustav and Ike – are dropped for sensitivity’s sake.
