I am talking about Storm Abigail, the first officially named storm. Somehow Abigail does not sound right for a storm - it is too nice. But then again I cannot think of a girl's name to conjure up the calamity of a storm.

Ooh yes, Hurricane Aggie sounds as though she could do some damage

Storm Tumbelina, not quite as strong as Agatha, but she could still bowl you over.
