I would SO hate to be a weather person over there having to report on this storm with a straight face. I don't know if I could do it.

I couldn't imagine reporting on this storm. I mean really, I have seen some strange names but this one really stands out. Whats next longduckdong....I know the oreintal people use these types of names but I sure as heck wouldn't give it to a storm that would get public attention but I do have to addmit it is pretty funny :lol:

It's not a person's name-WPAC names are mostly terms from Nature or identifications of natural objects. It's also not pronounced quite the same as we would do it. I forget it's actual meaning but it's not anything to do with what y'all are thinking.

If I translate correctly, Longwang is Chinese for Dragon King, which probably isn't a good name for a typhoon either since the Dragon King was supposed to be extremely powerful and not always benevolent.

The Asian people probably don't find the name funny at all. Who knows, perhaps there's a Japenese Storm2K equivalent that thought "Rita" was an absolutely ridiculous name! hehe
