I feel like it's not too late for them to quietly give Hurricane Milton a more suitably intimidating name. Hurricane Maximus or Hurricane Megadeth or something. People are gonna die because "Milton" doesn't sound scary enough.
Ok I mean I’d roll my eyes at hurricane megadeth. What is it gonna whinge about James hetfield to me?
Deaths from hurricanes with women’s names are significantly higher than men’s names, and this is the dominant hypothesis for why.
Here in Brazil a press vehicle called it "The beast"
I kind of agree, but have no fear. Those of us in Florida are sufficiently scared.
Some evidence suggests that it is better than of was named Miley, at least. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Do people judge hurricane risks in the context of gender-based expectations? We use more than six decades of death rates from US hurricanes to show...
Hahaha! I was just thinking this! I need something that reflects the tempest that is bearing down on Florida. To that end, I give you: Mercutio. Or Magnus. Or Malcolm. Or (literally any other M name besides Milton).

We've got to start naming hurricanes something other than human names. Milton sounds like your 10th grade English teacher not a deadly and destructive hurricane. Like, Milton should be named "THIS FUCKER IS GOING TO KILL YOU!"
😂😂😂😂😂 this is funny and serious at the same time.
