Michael Mann hilariously predicted 33 named storms.

I always thought that it would be interesting to analyse the behaviors of people with these names and see if their behaviors/ temperaments match with the wind speeds. More specifically, those with wicked tempers have a higher wind velocity than calmer people.
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Marcia
