Abigail, the floozy....

[Workingman]

.... she is about to breeze in without so much as a by-your-leave and then breeze out again.

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.

Maybe it is just me.

It does sound very English! Sort of too polite for a storm really, more like a gentle summer breeze

[Workingman]

I thought of one!

Storm Tallulah!

[Kaz]

It needs to start with an "A", you 'nana

[Workingman]

Ah, OK.

I'll bank it for later in the year along with Gale Gail and Hurricane Hannah.

[miasmum]

Agatha, that sounds right

[Kaz]

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

[Workingman]

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

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

Of course you could have a right old Storm Barney ....
