Apparently we should blame (or address) the World Meteorological Organization for naming storms with commonly used personal names.<br /><br />I feel this is an egregious affront to individuals who might have been blessed with a particular name at birth from their parents. It could actually prove traumatic to one who might have a name used in a destructive and deadly weather event. <br /><br />I see no reason in the media and world reiterating these names over and over when so much tragedy might surround one of these storms. It could lead to a lifetime of reminders to the individual and anyone who might interact with said individual later on, if what comes to mind immediately is a terrible storm's misery and destruction. This could be alleviated if we just stop using given proper names. <br /><br />Using people's names is actually a relatively new thing, (circa 1950's). These days, it seems to be just another way to sensationalize the story as the news media likes to do for ratings. Surely we are intelligent enough to use a different naming system, one that is less personal and more generic yet accurate and self-explanatory. Besides, it's not like they use unique names all the time. They actually repeat the same name over and over on a cycle. For instance, did you know that there have been at least 7 seperate "Katrina" weather events in the past 57 years? How does this not create a confusing naming system? <br /><br />Why not just move to a numerical standard? For instance, when it comes to Hurricanes, for the first Hurricane of the year, name it "Hurricane 1-2021" for the second, "Hurricane 2-2021", etc. ad naseum.<br /><br />Using numbers makes more sense than letters because there is no risk of running out and having to change the naming format.<br /><br />When someone is talking about a storm in the past, they can simply say, "Remember Hurricane 5-2005 ? Such a shame how it flooded New Orleans."<br /><br />#StopNamingStormsAfterPeople. Start referring to them by the numerical order they arrived.<br /><br />Nuff said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-87681560507198585102021-06-14T13:44:20.910+01:002021-06-14T13:44:20.910+01:00:(:(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506908875497423798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-28535650109066017222021-03-05T08:37:34.489+00:002021-03-05T08:37:34.489+00:00Great job.Great job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-25515389634078639842021-01-11T10:12:18.737+00:002021-01-11T10:12:18.737+00:00Anonymous - you're right.

Yes, that does seem a bit obscure but Charlotte's mother did threaten to murder Charlotte and it was beyond clear to see (or read in my case) that Matthew was not the happiest with her around that time. I once read an article saying Thomas wanted money so i think Charlotte's mother offered money to Matthew and Thomas to murder her. Charlotte's mother hid all of the evidence of Thomas because she liked him (in a way like friends) but she didn't like Matthew so she made him keep all evidence, then Charlotte's mother left an anonymous message to the police department saying it was Matthew, Matthew heard of this and fled to his sisters where he was hurt and using a handkerchief, identical to Charlotte's one, to clean up his blood. The police came to question Matthew he told many different takes of what happened but none were true, the jury and judge convicted him guilty and was hung. The 'confession' wasn't a real confession Charlotte's mother wrote it. <br /><br />This seems a bit outrageous but i am a story writer that is what a do.

He felt if he didn't get rid of her she would never love him, by killing her he would know that no one could have her, in that sense he seemed very selfish and needy.
