No. Yesterday, I took the retired hurricane names through 2016 and got 100%. I'm good at hurricanes, though.

After I noticed THAT, I quit on purpose just to tell you you put 1988 for Georges, not 1998. Plus, 1988 was a decade previous than 1998, the year for Georges)

Welp, Dorian just destroyed the Bahamas, and that was 10 months ago. Plus I got all of them, I'm always interested in natural disasters. (Maybe I'll be a meteorologist.)
