Ophelia

[Hessian]

Well, the Black caucus has finally found that our NOAA is willing to spread around the ethnic names and we have a Hurricane aiming for NC by Tuesday.
I will venture a guess that we might even see some flooding and power outages around here.

Not buying plywood...but will load up on the ice...find the lighter for the candles.

Can't wait for Shaniqua or is it Rahshanie?

Ophelia is a Greek name. Hamlet, anyone?

Damn. You really do have a brain. I read it on the internet yesterday.

Its also the character name that Jamie Curtis plays in the hit 80's comedy 'Trading Places'.

Hamlet didn't take place in Greece, it took place in Denmark.

 

[Nickel]

Hamlet didn't take place in Greece, it took place in Denmark.

I didn't say it did. I said that Ophelia is a Greek name. I also referenced that it was a name used in Hamlet.

Hopefully Ophelia will kill herself

Hopefully Ophelia will kill herself

I think she will be almost as irritating as some of this banter, but not much more.

Well the name selection actually is out NOAA's hands, the WMO (World Meteorological Organization, a United Nations Specialized Agency) selects the names for the six year rotating lists...

I don't understand why anyone would think of Ophelia as a black name, even if they didn't know the Hamlet connection (I didn't).

Maybe someone with the World Meteorological Organization is a Natalie Merchant fan.

So it's come down to this...

I can see it now when hurricane Dick comes swinging through. Oh, the repartee.

2009 will have Peter, so there you go.

2008 will have Nana, which is what many people call their grandmothers. 2010 has Igor, which reminded me of Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein.

Vrai, 2009 also has Larry.

They seldom get that high in the alphabet, but you never know. We are into the O's already.

The only thing I think about when I hear Ophelia is Ophelia Hiney, sister to Buster Hyman.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to morganj614 again.

You are really on today.

Not sure what Ophelia's track is now. After it left my area, I didn't care where it went. It sat off the coast here just turning. First a tropical storm, then a hurricane, then a tropical storm, then a hurricane. I'm glad we were spared. I hope you guys up there don't have to deal with it. It did some damage here to the beach (lots and lots of beach erosion.) Good luck!

That's what the Weather Channel is forecasting for us. Our worst fear is that a hurricane comes up the Bay, rattling off the walls between Md and Del, headed north.

We don't need that.
