Wouldn’t it have been ironic if they had named Katrina something like Lakisha?

At least now they’re appeased by having names.
Looks like not naming hurricanes REALLY annoys them:

I wonder if the study showed 1998 Hurricane Georges was so fierce and deadly because people mocked its effeminate name.

This is “science” so we first need “consensus” on the names.
We all know consensus IS science.

Satire: right? I recall that lady name Katrina filling brave men with fear and uncertainty.
To: nickcarraway
Fine. Name them all Pat, then. Pat I, Pat II, Pat III, Pat IV ...
To: nickcarraway
I thought they were going to say female-named storms only killed 77% as many people as male-named storms.

“Researchers at the University of Illinois and Arizona State University...”
Obviously universities that experience hurricanes frequently enough to be motivated to conduct such a study...
Also...
I hope no one has any kids going to these schools of higher educa...uhhhhhh, grant writers...
How/who did they get money to/from conduct this research???
