Giving the hurricanes female names was a practice for several decades that got started by the pilots that would go up and track the hurricanes for wind direction and coordinates.
Then they made half the names male sometime in the late ‘70s or early ‘80s. The first significant storm with a male name was Hurricane David and I still remember the jokes:
“We have our first Jewish hurricane! We can tell because it is heading straight for Miami Beach.”
There were jokes about David getting circumcized and Bar Mitzvahed. This was back when America had a sense of humor.
I'm an old guy and still have a sense of humor. Problem for most is that no one has a sense of history. Few know what happened before the year 2000,it's sad.
Many of the younger folks like the music from the 60's and 70's everything from the Beatles to Grand Funk to Dirty Jim Morrison but few know the history.
The name Laura reminds me of the woeful character years ago on “General Hospital”.
She was always being dumped on by Luke. Talk about a woman scorned!
Will this be her grand vengeance?
