There will be no more "BOB'S. Hurricane Bob that struck Cape Cod in 1991 resulted in the name "BOB" being retired. In 1985, Tropical storm BOB made landfall in Naples. I remember driving down to Naples with the family to experience it. Gulf Shore Blvd was completely flooded. We got out of the car to feel the wind but quickly returned to the safety of the car as coconuts flew past us like cannon balls fired from a pirate ship! So no barnicle Bob's in our future.

U R right, kinda hard to give them descriptions until we 'meet' them ...
Isabel became known to us as Isa$itch when we got kicked off of OBX, chased us all the way to MD before got the full brunt of her tantrum. Hurricane party at the Holiday Inn, no lights but we still had ice & water!
Then there was Fickle Fay last year - landfall 4 times in FL - someone said she was like a *bad girl* in a barroom, no sooner gone than she was back again
