Good score indeed - are you a meteorologist? (Maybe Neil Frank in disguise?).

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)

Hot baby! 100% When I showed top 10 worst hurricanes of the 21'st century, they were stunned to find out hurricane Matthew was a category 5 hurricane.

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.)
