Job sucks, but benefits are greatWe along the Atlantic coast are smack dab in the middle of the hurricane season. Anxious eyes are watching the Weather Channel for news of the storm that is expected to hit the east coast.
Hanna?
If you're going to name a storm, at least spell it right.
You spell Hanna, Hannah. It's a palindromic name. That's why it's fun.
It seems in recent years the names of the storms have become more international with a strong preference for names with Spanish origins, but we can't, nor should we, give all the storms Spanish names. Clearly that would be discriminatory. So if Hanna is Spanish for Hannah, that's news to me.
Names for storms the rest of the season include - Marco and Nana. Nana? Somebody's grandma is going to have a hurricane named after them? Kyle and Sally are on the list as well, along with the ever-popular Paloma and Wilfred.
I'm sure it's hard to come up with 26 (or so) names every year for Atlantic Ocean tropical storms (Pacific storms have their own names). But clearly somebody is not giving this 100% of his or her time.
Come on, people! What are they paying you for?

And don't forget Hurricane Ottoh. Must be a superstition. After all you don't want to catch a hurricane coming AND going.
And then there's Hurricane Sarah. Just hoping she's downgraded to arctic depression.
