The really bad hurricanes seem to have country names? Hazel, Harvey, Floyd, Fran, Hugo, Now Irma... I figure If I ever see one named Bubba I'm heading to Idaho....
Betsy, Camille, Agnes, Andrew, Irene...lots of good names floatin' around ...Bubba won't happen 'cause it's raccis
I heard a comedian say one time that they need to be named after our politicians. For example ; " The hurricane made landfall, and sat there all day, destroying many , many homes and businesses . Dumping major amounts of rain, the flooding is massive , the havoc left behind by Hurricane Hillary will reach well into the billions " . Who else, other than politicians , can leave our country in shambles , it seems fair to name a devastating storm after them.
The minute they name one "CRACKER KILLER" I'm moving to Kansas even if I stand a chance of having a house fall on me.
Hope I never see a Slick Willie, Hitlery, Bernie, or Moochell! Now THOSE could wipe out the WHOLE country!
Don't forget Donna, Diane, and Debbie. Horrible broads from 60ish years ago. Dunno if they are country (bleeps) but I know the human counterparts and they ARE (bleeps)
Well @ghrit that was before they started giving equal opportunity to naming storms after both women and men. ;D The 1st storm of the year starts at A, second storm B, third storm C. Etc So Harvey was the 8th storm this year
Yes it was a rather longer time ago than many remember. But those three were something else. Diane threw a seagoing freighter up the creek, nearly to the dam on the other side of town. The name was a convenience for journalists that had trouble spelling hurry=cane.
This may be only a guy thing, but tell me Hurricane Dicksmasher is headed this way and you have my attention...
