Anything but SUE Who thinks up these names, Why can't we have a PAT, LARRY, JIM, ROGER or like Johnny Cash, sang "Anything, but SUE"
Bit like cars and boats and planes then then ! Thank You Tony, we live and learn every day:o from the link In the beginning, storms were named arbitrarily. An Atlantic storm that ripped off the mast of a boat named Antje became known as Antje's hurricane. Then the mid-1900's saw the start of the practice of using feminine names for storms. HUH! how Sexist can we get and women talk about Equality. I vote, that each Leap year, It should be mans turn, for a name
Quite odd that they are named so far in advance , I wonder where cyclone flossie is going to land in 2019 , you could start up a sweepstakes with this stuff ?:D
