Are the weather lords now going to force us to pronounce foreign names every time there’s a hurricane? “Isaias” Every last one of the local weather forecasters says it the new, mandated way. They didn’t all just decide it was a Spanish word and felt they had to pronounce it as Spanish. The weather lords must have included the mandated pronunciation with the announcement of the storm’s name.
So what’s next? Storm names in Arabic to honor America’s newest victim group? Names like Shauntavius and Towanda to honor our first victim group?

Indeed. The “honorable” Shiela Jackson Lee has long advocated for “black” names for storms.
