First, because a look at any baby names book should show that there aren't that many 'I' names to begin with; and second, three quarters of those that do exist have already been used to name violent hurricanes that had to be retired. And third, after retiring Irma and desperately searching for a replacement name, it would be a bit odd to have Ivanka and Don on the same name list...
On topic though, the setting sun is throwing really impressive shadows across Irma's terrifyingly even more intense looking eye... it's truly upsetting and I hate to see the islands deal with this, but I guess nothing at all can be done about it. I hope it hits as few islands in the Bahamas as possible but that remains to be seen.
Have we had an Immanuel yet? Because I am still waiting for the day I can make a joke about the more famous MIT professor. "Yo, Kerry, your storm is here."
