Aren't there years when hurricanes are named
after men? I'm almost certain I remember some years when this was
so. As I recall, all hurricanes during the season are named either
masculine or feminine. Wasn't there a Hurricane Andrew recently, within
the last few years? We don't have hurricanes on the west coast, so I'm not
really familiar with the subject.
Well its coming our way and she sounds like a really big
girl. Why is it Mother Nature? and Hurricanes, which are the biggest
force in nature, named after women? Talking with my Daddy who lives in
Va. Beach he sounded stressed as he was under a mandatory evacuation. I
remember Camille in 1969 and flew over the devastation in a helicopter taking
pictures for the army and it was a sight to behold of the force of nature and
the havoc it can bring. Now its the calm before the storm and the winds
are supposed to start around 9 and the rains this afternoon. There will
be many stories to tell on this one I believe. Godspeed to all
in her path. ts
