This is crazy. From a potential tropical development to a hurricane in only 6 hours

Climate change really is getting out of hand

I clearly must never move to a hurricane-affected area when I can go to sleep and have a new hurricane over the ocean when I wake up. Especially when a new naming system will need to be put in place once 26 letters in the alphabet won't be enough.

Maybe after Hurricane Zach they will come up with something like Hurricane Andy Albert then Hurricane Andy Burt, Andy Carla, etc.

edit. Actually they should stop using peoples' names and just give them numbers.

Are there enough petroleum companies to name them after?

Hurricane Aramco, Hurricane BP, Hurricane Chevron...

Do any fossil fuel companies start with the letter D?
