Emily Killed Someone

The mere mention of the name "Emily" would raise no eyebrows but bring smile to ones face. Soft-spoken, gentle, diligent and meticulous - those would be the traits one associates with the name.

But I am truly saddened to read the article about Emily harming the society, causing grief and hurt to families she tore down. Why they would use such a name for a hurricane baffles me, yet I have to accept the fact that it had indeed be used to name the hurricane that tore down at least 100 homes, blasted out windows, sheared off roof, flooded two hospitals and killed one person in Jamaica and Cayman Islands. Hurricane Emily, you destroyed the tranquility that comes with the name :)
