Why do hurricanes get named but tornadoes do not?
Hurricanes and tropical storms can be named on a relatively simple naming system because there are rarely more than a dozen in a single season. There has only been one time that the National Hurricane Center ran out of names (2005 season), in which case the used Greek letters to names the excess storms. There were 27 storms in that season. Additionally, hurricanes are large storms that form over the course of hours and days, so they can be tracked and named while they are active. By comparison the U.S. averages more than 1,000 tornadoes each year; it would be impossible to have a naming system for so many storms. Additionally tornadoes are very small and short lived compared with hurricanes; a tornado sometimes only lasts a few seconds and the occurrence of a tornado is often not confirmed until after it has passed through. Same with waterspouts and dust devils.

When was the first hurricane year?
Hurricanes have been around for a long time. And I mean as long as maybe billions and billions and billions of years. Even Jupiter and Neptune have hurricanes!! The biggest hurricanes on those planets are probably category 10 or whatever. Anyway, since hurricanes have been around for so many years, it's impossible to tell what was the first season. The first recorded season was probably in 1800. I don't know anything beyond that. Hurricane tracking began later...I don't remember when.
