A new tropical storm forming in the Atlantic Ocean will coincidentally share the name of the late country music legend.

    Is this intentional? Weird way to memorialize someone so wonderful if so.

      The names are chosen before the hurricane season begins.

    Ok then, y’all just guaranteed a devastating hurricane will come of this. I realize that the names were chosen before, but nothing says you can’t reassess and just set that name aside for the year.

    It doesn’t much matter to me, I’m not on the coast or a devastated fan. I just think it’s funny that the NHC is basically yelling out at the ocean “nothing bad could possibly happen”, right before rolling the dice. Jinx Jinx.

    Dolly is coming for the world! Double D’s of justice mothertruckers!
