The United States of America is facing an imminent danger with the approach of the devastating hurricane, “Ida”, and is expected to leave behind it massive destruction in a number of states, which raised the question about whether the strength of the hurricane had a role in choosing a female name for it, Earlier, researchers at the University of Illinois had found that strong Atlantic hurricanes that had female names caused 5 times more deaths than those that had male names, according to Sky News Arabia..
The website said that based on the analysis of Atlantic hurricanes between 1950 and 2012 – 94 of them made landfall, researchers discovered that the names of less severe hurricanes did not represent a difference in their destructive power, whether they had masculine or feminine names..
