I seem to have been a category 4 hurricane in 1978, so I don't think they're in a hurry to use me again.

I'm going to change my name to Gamma. That way, I should pop up every 6-10 years (hopefully no more than that).

Nope. And I never will be. I've been retired.

I missed an opportunity last year when headlines screamed 'Millions flee (arborwoman)'. '(arborwoman) cuts a wide swath of destruction.' Had I any sense, I'd have been cutting out dozens of them for use in birthday cards.

I wonder why 'Tony' instead of 'Anthony'?

'Hurricane Tony' sounds like a pro boxer, not a storm.

Nope. And I'm pretty sure I never will be. Names off the beaten track, like mine, don't get a break. Could never find one of those purple and pink plastic hairbrushes with my name on them when I was younger either. Totally unfair.

How much would it suck to have your home destroyed by Hurricane Patty. It sounds more like a Saturday morning cartoon character. I'd have trouble taking it serious just from the name.
