Pat Riot, SASS #13748 16,526 Posted August 2 I have always felt the naming of storms using people’s names to be silly. Especially now with their PC BS names. I would think naming them by year month and sequence would be more palatable. Example: Storm 20-8-1 The first storm of August in 2020. This would probably confuse people and depersonalize the damage so mopers couldn’t wallow in self pity and blame. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 1,882 Posted August 2 Back when my dad was Hurricane Hunter pilot in the early 50s, they used the phonetic alphabet to name them. Thus, they were Hurricane Able, Baker, Charlie etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
