Scary Names for Serious Storms

I do not understand the people who name storms. There are two storms destroying everything on their paths right now: Haitang in Asia and Emily in the Caribbeans. Haitang is a beautiful flower and Emily a name of beautiful women. If I were naming storms, I would not have given them such nice names. Think about it, when a typhoon or hurricane is approaching, you want people to run and hide. You do not want people to say, “I am staying to smell the pretty flower.” Nor do you want them to stop to look at the beautiful girl. You want a name like “knee breaker” or Leviathan to scare all the idiots away from the beaches on the storm’s path. Even when worse come to worst, it is better to die when visited by Shiva rather than Andrew. Imagine your love ones telling their children that you are killed by Hugo and they think you were suffocated by your ill-fitted expansive jacket! How pathetic that would have been.
