is it a woman?[/All disasters seem to be named after a female.They use the alphabet and the next one should start with a "T".
Most ships are named after females also because they are surrounded by "BOY"S"laugh

You really shouldn't worry about my social life, I have one, that's all you need to know.

I think you'll find that hurricanes can have both male and female names btw

Unstable, unpredictable, uncontrollable, temperamental and completely incapable of restraint. The hurricane knows of nothing besides itself, ravaging all those unlucky enough to cross its path whilst remaining completely oblivious to the misery it creates, it will seize your possessions, from your house to your car, without one thought towards their rightful owner and leave you a mere shell of your former self.

It is a Woman.

My mother's name is Sandy.

So obviously, it is the Mother of All Storms, hence the name.
