My Winter Storm Has A First Name And It's: CORA

KatotaKatota
in General

Lol! My power company sent out a mass text informing the usual when storms hit like they always do, and they also inform the NAME of the storm too.

In this message "her name" is Cora. 🥶🌧️🌬️❄️

Cora The Cold

😆😆😆😆

I love it, it fits "her"!😁👍

I would like to see a male named stormed (or natural
disaster) one day...😁😜🤔

Like Hurricane Gregory? Or Snow Storm Abraham?

Twister Matthew? Earth Shaker Brandon... Lol!😆

What's the difference between "genders" of storms/natural disasters anyway, they all start and end the same way, right?

🌬️❄️🌧️🥶🌪️⛈️🌋

    It's actually more than what I'm seeing here in my visit in Denver at the moment, which currently is nothing more than some sidewalk slush

  • KatotaKatota

    @lonelytauros Lol! 😁

    Thanks for your comment, we too have
    Cora Gone Wild action over here as well!

    🥶😆

  • KatotaKatota

    @pmvines Yeah it looked like that here, at first...Now it's sleeting, and will likely freeze overnight. Thanks a lot, Cora! ☺️

    Cora is just getting started here in Gainesville! 🥶😁

    Nah, I'd prefer naming pleasant activities or weather after males, just like "a cup of Joe," or... a clear and sunny 74-degree summer day could be called a Keanu.

    😁

    @TxTom Lol! That's fine too, no Keanu Gone Wild weather for Texas, got it! 😆👍

    Male names have been given to tropical storms and hurricanes in the US since 1979.

  • MonkeyNeedsAHugMonkeyNeedsAHug

    That is, storms have been identified using male names as well as female names, in alternating fashion since then.

  • [Deleted User]MaverickLegend (deleted user)


    @Katota another reason storms have female names is to pay homage to the queen of storms

    👍👍👍👍

    @MonkeyNeedsAHug Really now?! Thanks, apparently I am WAAAAAY-YAAAY behind on storm naming history then. 😁

    @MonkeyNeedsAHug Seriously, this is a definite "the more you know" moment. Thanks again!

    👎👎👎👎

    @lonelytauros I gotta disagree, Halle Berry was NOT a good choice for Storm (even worse choice for Catwoman 🫣). She is just not badass enough for either of those characters, now Angela Bassett is totes badass! 😁👍

    Angela should have been Storm, in my opinion! 😁👍

  • KatotaKatota

    👍👍👍👍

    Storm is fierce. Angela is fierce. Angela should have been Storm back in the 90s X-MEN films.

    @lonelytauros Lol! 😆

    Tauros, you got me internetting "my case" here ...When I should be trying to sleep, it's totally MY FAULT. Lol

    Angela looks both fabulous and frightening with white out contacts, then Halle Berry:

    And she looks better with white/silver hair then Halle Berry too ...

    And I disliked the so-called "hair styles" that Halle Berry wore as Storm, my memories of watching the X-Men cartoons on Saturday mornings still stay with me. Lol 😆

  • KatotaKatota

    @lonelytauros Look at Storm's hair here...

    Lol! I said look at it...☝️👀

    Storm's hair is a LIVING storm itself, dagnabbit! 😄

    A. LIVING. STORM. 🌪️🌬️🌪️🌬️

    How dare they skimp on her hair in those early X-Men live action versions of Storm? Lol

    I said, "How dare they indeed!"

    😆😆😆

    @lonelytauros Storm should have had a Mohawk or The Big Hair, I don't know what these hairstyles were. 🤷

    That's my passionate opinion about that, Tauros. Lol 😆

    Goodnight 😄😁

  • lovingspoonfulllovingspoonfull

    I think the John Wick Halle Berry had some badassery going on, but agree that the way she played Storm was a gentle breeze versus a torrential storm.

  • [Deleted User]MaverickLegend (deleted user)


    @Katota what you think about her? Personally I think Halle Berry did a good job

    Good morning y'all! 👋😁

    @lovingspoonfull Nah, honestly I didn't like John Wick 3. 👎 Keanu was moving WAY too slow for me to really enjoy it. 😒
    I liked John Wick I, 2 and 4 was tolerable. No John Wick 3 for me! 👎😌
    I wasn't the only one who noticed that Keanu was moving slow either, which is refreshing that other fans noticed too.😁👍

    Still no, Halle Berry doesn't ooze badass to me when it comes to action filled movie roles. She never has, now when it comes to dramas and the occasional horror flick, she's great in those!😄

    @lonelytauros Everyone has there own opinions, I respect that. 😄👍
    I don't know, can't say that I recognize her in anything, acting wise...So maybe? 🤷☺️
    Is she an actress from Africa? If so, she could work as Storm, as Storm is also African. ☺️

  • [Deleted User]MaverickLegend (deleted user)

    @Katota shes British she’s in the movie Wicked

  • KatotaKatota

    @lonelytauros Ahh, never watched Wicked...Thanks! 👍

    Years ago, I also believed Emelia Burns would have been a good, fierce enough actress to portray a live action version of Storm.

    She played Yasenwah (I think, I spelled that correctly?🤔) a long side Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vinne Jones in The Condemned. Though she's Australian, she still would have been a better choice for Storm than Halle Berry! 😁👍

    Lol! I think I am more drawn to these women's eyes and awesome cheek bone structure too, Angela has both and so does Emelia.😄

  • KatotaKatota

    Well, the remains of Cora did melt a little bit today. That's a good thing! ☺️😁

    Deny it all you want.
    We all know you love Halle Berry!
