Kinder, gentler hurricane names

I think I have figured out why the hurricanes all of a sudden seem to have real mild names like Flossie or Gustav or Josephine or Hanna. Hanna is not a bad name, the girls have lots of friends named Hanna. It's just that Hanna is the name of a middle schooler, not a life-threatening storm.

But I think that the International Association of Storm Namers incorporated has a plan. They give the storms these kinder, gentler names in order to psych out the storms.

Like in sixth grade..
