David?

Ironically, Danny is the name that replaced David.

I'm sure many, especially those in the Caribbean, don't want another Hurricane David.

How right you are, HurricaneBill! It didn't hit Barbados but came awfully close. I can still remember the frequent distant flashes of lightning, gusty winds causing the wires to howl... the works. Days before it was due to arrive, BBC World News stated something to the effect of "Barbados is facing a direct hit by one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes seen in several years." A local preacher came on the radio and prayed for the nation... Recalling the related events kinda gives me the creeps. If it makes me feel that way, imagine how Dominicans who experienced David's full fury must feel when reminiscing about it.

Not only the Dominican Republic, but Dominica as well.

Yes but when I stated "Dominicans", I meant residents in Dominica, not the Dominican Republic. Actually, when most people in the Lesser Antilles (especially the Windward Islands) speak of Dominicans, they are referring to those in Dominica and not the Dominican Republic. (I wonder who ever came up with the bright idea of naming two countries in the same region so similarly. It can cause much unnecessary confusion. And there's really no connection, that I know of, between the two peoples.)
