Yes. Last night the news listed the names for the 2005 USA Hurricane Season and the first name on the list is ARLENE! What an honor!
Watch out. I'm comin' at you. You think Freddie was Mr. Fahrenheit. I'm a 300 mile an hour tropical storm gonna blow your house down. Kaboom! Lookout for my..eye!
Since they go alphabetically, it would be quite a feat for nature to get down to my end of the alphabet. However, that's alright with me.
It makes me wonder, what happens if there are more than 26? Do they have to go into double letters? For example, the 27th would be Awesome Albert or something. Hmm ...

I "survived" Hurricane Hugo in '89. If I knew then, what I know now about hurricanes, I would have been a lot more scared. I was only 12 at the time and didn't really realize just HOW dangerous a hurricane can be. We are about 2 hours inland, but when the eye passed over us the winds were still 100 mph. Needless to say, the devastation was overwhelming. We didn't get our power back on for around a week and a half.
