Hurricane Bertha . . . has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

1. I like that idea too, but, c'mon - they could have followed 'Arthur' with 'Bea'

:D

They could have a Bertha in 2009, which I note also includes the not-so-intimidating 'Hurricane Larry' :eyes:

4. Bertha was my grandmother's name. She hated it. I love it.

5. Be careful what you ask for

back in New Orleans, my closest associate had a young daughter.

Care to guess what her name is??

(They left the city about when I did, years ago -- but her Dad is presumably still down there...)

6. Bertha don't you come around here anymore......

I had a hard run

8. We were chased out by Hurricane Bertha

in 1996, I believe. At the beach in North Carolina... it was thrilling for a 9 year old. :P

9. It may have a nice ring to it now....

but trust ME it's awful when the storm they name after you turns into the monster that destroyed New Orleans. As Katrina strengthened and began tracking North Mr GM said, "Well, they sure did name this bitch of a storm by the right name... she's going to wreak havoc!".

Did I mention that I love to begin DIY home renovation projects so that the Mr can finish them?
