This is the 47th anniversary of Hurricane Carla. I have been told that this is where Mom & Dad found my name. Because of the severity of the storm the name has been retired. I thought that Richard and Kristy might want to check out the list for ideas for their baby names (Gustav, Hanna, Ike or Josephine). Keep safe everyone.
