Once was because the city was without power for DAYS. We hardly ever get snow days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556677 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:09:58 +0000 runsyellowlites 556677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: What @Mrs. Jacks said. Since my name is so uncommon I always thought it'd be neat for it to be used BUT I wouldn't want it used over &amp; over again. Just an odd thought I've always had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556668 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:05:11 +0000 Dandelion 556668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The summer dh and I got married, there were 2 named storms that shared both of our names! (well, it was technically Katia for me, but still...I took it! lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556655 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:58:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: After a massive storm they retire the name (see the link I provided above). So they'll never use Katrina, Andrew, Hugo or any of the other huge storm names again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556652 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:56:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: what do you mean "retired"? You don't have a common name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556649 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:55:44 +0000 runsyellowlites 556649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it terrible I've always wanted a crazy bad hurricane named after me &amp; then my name be "retired"?...</p> <p>I like the decepticons idea too though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556589 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:29:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It was just the word that you changed that put me on the tangent. Again, sorry! I hope you understand.</p> <p>Decepticons would be awesome, though. We could expand the theme and go with Greyskull, Joker and other superhero villians! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556574 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:26:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: haha well I didn't make up the storm names ;) so it's not my fault haha. I probably would use made up names... I like @mrbee's suggestion!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556573 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:26:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 556573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ahh I love this idea!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556558 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:23:34 +0000 mrbee 556558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they should name storms after Decepticons.</p> <p>Hurricane Devastator. Hurricane Galvatron. Tropical Storm Starscream. Trop Storm Lazerbeak. Etcetera. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556552 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:21:44 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I'm sorry if I made you feel bad. I'm super sensitive to society perpetuating mean stereotypes of women (well, and men for that matter!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556549 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:21:18 +0000 sorrycharlie 556549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @MrsTiz: I've heard the ex-girlfriend thing too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556543 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:19:44 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: oh thank goodness I'm not alone haha I was starting to think I was crazy and shouldn't have started the thread lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556534 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:15:53 +0000 MrsTiz 556534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Don't worry, i've heard the exgirlfriend joke too!</p> <p>I hate that these storms all have such wussy names. I like the idea of changing them to "Hurricane MegaStorm 2012" vs. "Hurricane Sandy" lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556526 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:13:04 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yeah, sorry... I just bristle at the characterization of women as wicked or evil. Puts feminist card back in wallet ;)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556519 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:11:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: well I suppose any name would be an ex name :) there was a song I heard recently I think it was by Hunter Hayes about a storm named after a girl... Oh yeah it was "storm warning"</p> <p>"Every hurricane gets its name from a girl like this<br /> She's a cat. five kind<br /> Keeps you up at night<br /> Hangin' on to the edge of a kiss<br /> She's a beautiful mess<br /> The kind you love to love<br /> But what happens next<br /> I got a feeling when the sun comes up<br /> I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556508 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:07:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 556508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I just didn't see them as being "ex" names. I mean hurricanes are named after guys too, right? (Hugo, Andrew) I think it's just easier to remember than tropical storm B.</p> <p><a href="http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/weather/hurricane/naming.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/weather/hurricane/naming.shtml</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556499 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:03:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I don't want to offend anyone so I changed it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556498 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:02:39 +0000 MrsBrewer 556498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't heard of the "ex-bitches" reference before either...</p> <p>I do think it's really dumb though that they are naming winter storms.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556492 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:01:21 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: people say that hurricanes are named after exes because they're so vicious...

I know lovely people named Irene and Rita and a sibling with a recent storm name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/storm-nemo#post-556471 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:55:47 +0000 Mrs. Pen 556471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soooo hurricanes are named after crazy ex girlfriends... And snow storms are named after animated fish? I think I'm missing something here....? ;)</p> <p>All of my east coast friends stay warm and safe!! If it makes you feel any better we get a few of those types of storms here every winter and nothing ever closes :-P you all are blessed for snow days !!!</p> <p>Stay safe :) </p>
