Really they should start naming hurricanes and tropical storms after unpleasant events rather than female names.....
I mean I think people would be more likely to evacuate an area if the warning was "Hurricane colonoscopy set to tear up the east coast tomorrow". Or
"Tropical Storm Prostate Exam widening it's path, palpable damage is inevitable"
Just saying, ya know. Who's going to take Sandy seriously? Sandy is your annoying neighbor, not a life threatening event.
Now- if they really need to stick to women's names, then why not Hurricane Hillary Clinton. That'd get me to evacuate....
