Why do we name hurricanes? Do we think they'll be friendlier if we call them Gustav or Beryl instead of Monster Storm of 1900? Can we cite them as unruly guests who overstay their welcome?
Does anyone root for the hurricane named after himself? When the tropical storm bearing my name appeared a few years back, I will admit to hoping it would strengthen into an impressive hurricane (albeit without loss of life).
