Naming storms so early IS BAD for citizens. Home owner insurance companies activate the hurricane deductible on coverage the minute the storm gets named. BAD BAD BAD
I agree wholeheartedly, George.
On the other hand, naming marginal storms is good for government bureaucracies that depend on funding from Congress. Naming marginal storms is also good for those who promote the fraudulent Climate Change narrative.
Also--when there is a named storm lurking anywhere in the Atlantic, new insurance policies cannot be bound as required for closing a real estate sale.
