Sports Are Boring, Whatever The Team Name

There's a youth football team in my town. It's called the Hurricanes.

Am I the only one who is confused by naming an inland team the "Hurricanes," in a state (Illinois) that has NEVER had a hurricane... bordered by lots of other states that have similarly NEVER had hurricanes? I guess we're not really keeping things thematically consistent. I like names that reflect where they're from... like the Orlando Magic. Or the Utah Jazz. Oh, wait.

I assume that any teams formerly named the Tsunamis would've gotten changed recently?
