"Why did they name Hurricane Kyrill?"

They name big storms. My wife grew up on the North Sea. When she moved here I warned her that we get some severe weather, and hurricanes are even worse. She informed me that there are bad storms that come off the North Sea, even hurricanes. After she experienced her first blue norther, which dropped the temperature from the 80s to the high 30s in 12 hours and dumped over 4 inches of rain in just a couple of hours, she allowed that maybe she hadn't of experienced really heavy rain before. After that, she was a lot less confident about dealing with a hurricane.

Nonetheless, the wind damage was pretty severe.......they had wind gusts up to 120 mph. I was surprised at the level of damage. And lets face it, the rain is a problem in a hurricane because they originate over tropical waters but its the wind damage typically that's the killer/the most destructive part of the storm.
