- a much safer name than say Pedro - I wonder if there would be much outrage if hurricanes were named after fictional characters? I wonder if the Public would be as eager to evacuate if hurricane Huck Finn was on its way? "Hurricane Bambi has killed 359 people so far" - I guess those headlines wouldn't sit well with many people. I think I need to retract what I said about dawdling over fictional names in a previous comment I made.

Let's just say it's about time.
Oh, I see they picked 'Katia' to replace 'Katrina' and 'Rina' to replace 'Rita.'
Why even bother?
They should have picked something really different so it wouldn't remind people at all, for example, 'Kimberly' and 'Romaine.'
