This article is garbage. Here is the list of deadliest hurricanes to hit the US. Note how many don't even have names; these storms were not even named until after WWII, and the modern naming scheme did not come into play until weather satellites gave us a view of the open Atlantic.

Sandy sucked for a lot of people not because it was named "Sandy," but for all the people like my friends who thought this was going to be a typical NorEaster and did not heed the warnings. Meanwhile Andrew was such a mess because it went from a Category 1 to a Category 5 and picked up speed aiming right at Florida in less than 24 hours, something that had not been seen before. Katrina did this over the Gulf of Mexico which is why that storm was so destructive. As far as I recall, Andrew and Katrina are the only two storms since the Space Age to strengthen so much so fast and therefore catch people off guard.

The only reason these storms have names in the first place is to make the insurance industry happy. They wanted a way to track claims and back in the day the first storm was Able, the second Baker, etc. and it made claims adjusting hard as they would sometimes get two Charlie's hit back to back. Stuff like this reminds me of the infamous Camille party that never happened. People who have seen a hurricane know to treat these storms as life or death.

This sounds like Tumblr bait to me.
