Don't you think it might be insult to injury to have your house destroyed in hurricane Debby? If I'm going to lose a lifetime of memories to a hurricane I want it named something like Runihura (destroyer) or Damia (force of nature).

I thought Gonggong (Chinese) was good for a name. It sounds close to GoneGone which is what a Hurricanes does. 🌬️🌀🌧️
