Hurricane Florence barrels toward the coast of the U.S. near South Carolina and North Carolina. The South Carolina’s governor ordered evacuations.

People aren’t going to flee a hurricane named Florence. Do you know anybody named Florence who isn’t the nicest person in the world?

I vote we name hurricanes after villains. Maybe more people would evacuate if the hurricane was named Hurricane Voldemort.
