In a season of Atlantic hurricanes, will one of these forces of nature get your name?
Hurricane season in the Atlantic starts on Sunday, May 1, and while Michigan isn't at much risk, there's reason to keep an eye out for the storms, especially if you are a force of nature and your name is Andrea, Jerry, or Tanya, if we get that far in the alphabet. You just might find your name in an amusing headline that highlights how unwelcome you are or that highlights your destructive power. A list of names for storms is created by the World Meteorological Organization, and the storms are named in alphabetical order, starting with Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dexter, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Imelda and Jerry. After Jerry, the list includes Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van and ends with Wendy. No names on the list start with a Q, U, X, Y or Z, mostly because those names are rarer. And there usually aren't enough hurricanes to need that many names. But last week, the National Weather Service predicted above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin during the season, which lasts until Nov. 30. It is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 total named storms. If correct, Tanya, might — just might — make the cut. In recent years, hurricanes have become increasingly destructive and common, climate scientists have said. And you might not think that matters, living in the Midwest, unless you own a winter condo or time-share in Florida. "The majority of the time, if a storm makes it up here, we get just the remnants — heavy rain," Jaclyn Anderson, a weather service meteorologist in White Lake Township, said. "The rain can cause some flooding." Storms can affect an array of things, from gas prices to insurance premiums.

The dangers of this apocalyptic warming include melting ice caps and glaciers, the collapse of coral reefs and more intense hurricanes that are threatening coastal cities and Michiganders' winter getaways. Last year, one study suggested two hurricanes — Beryl and Milton — would not have been as bad without this change. Remnants of both storms raced toward Michigan, triggering warnings for Detroiters in flood-prone areas. As for the storm names, according to the National Hurricane Center, for a few hundred years leading up to the 1800s, hurricanes in the West Indies were named after the saint's day when they occurred. In the 1950s, the United States tried naming storms using a phonetic alphabet, Able, Baker, Charlie and so on. But that got confusing when an international phonetic alphabet was introduced and meteorologists started naming storms after women. In the late '70s, men's names were also added. Now, the lists change every year in a six-year rotation. The names for the worst storms — the ones that wreak the most havoc — are retired. Dexter is new on this year's list, replacing Dorian. You can check the lists for 2026, 2027, and 2028. In 2029, the list from 2023 gets recycled, minus any retired names. Anderson, however, has the blessing — or perhaps curse — of having a somewhat unusually spelled first name, Jaclyn, which, as a result, she said probably will never end up on one of the hurricane name lists.

Expert on how quitting tobacco improves health in just 20 minutes to 20 years: ‘Risk of heart disease drops to half'
World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world every year on May 31. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced 'Unmasking the appeal: exposing industry tactics on tobacco and nicotine products' as the theme for this year. Also Read | World No Tobacco Day: Expert shares 5 ways smoking actively damages your mental health While we all know that consumption of tobacco is harmful to overall health, certain lifestyle trends have made smoking appear attractive. Therefore, it becomes essential to know how quitting tobacco improves our health. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Tanya Khanna, nutritionist and yoga trainer at Alyve Health, explained how quitting tobacco kickstarts the healing process in our body in just 20 minutes to 20 years. 'Tobacco use remains one of the leading causes of preventable illness and death worldwide. However, the moment a person decides to quit, the body starts healing within minutes and continues for decades,' Tanya said. She revealed how quitting smoking can improve our health after 20 minutes, 12 hours, 9 months, 10 years, or 20 years. She explained the changes that go on inside our body, and how it should be incentive enough to quit the habit today. Just 20 minutes after the last cigarette, the heart rate and blood pressure begin to drop to healthier levels. Blood circulation starts to improve, signalling the body's immediate response to the absence of nicotine. Carbon monoxide, a harmful gas found in cigarette smoke, begins to leave the bloodstream. As a result, oxygen levels in the body return to normal, reducing the burden on the heart and lungs. Just one day after quitting, the risk of a heart attack starts to decrease. The body continues to purge itself of the toxins introduced by tobacco, and the healing process progresses steadily. Lung function begins to improve significantly. Breathing becomes easier, physical endurance increases, and energy levels rise as circulation stabilises and lung capacity grows. The tiny hair-like structures in the lungs, called cilia, start to regrow and function properly. These structures help clear mucus and fight infections, leading to fewer coughing episodes and respiratory illnesses. The risk of developing coronary heart disease drops to half that of a current smoker. The heart, blood vessels, and lungs continue to repair themselves. The risk of stroke is significantly reduced, potentially returning to the level of a non-smoker. The risks of cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, and bladder are also greatly diminished. The risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of someone who still smokes. Additionally, the chances of developing cancers of the larynx and pancreas are reduced. At this stage, the risk of coronary heart disease becomes comparable to that of someone who has never smoked. The long-term risks of stroke and many types of cancer continue to decline, reaching near-normal levels. 'Quitting tobacco is not just about avoiding disease, it's about improving quality of life. Former smokers often report better breathing, improved energy, healthier skin, and a renewed sense of control over their health. Most importantly, it's never too late to quit. The sooner you stop, the sooner you start healing,' Tanya concluded. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
