Whether suffering through blizzards in Canada or roasting in the Paraguayan Chaco, Mennonites are well-known for their love of extreme weather. As a result, the World Meteorological Association is greatly concerned about the number of Mennonites who don’t take warnings about hurricanes, blizzards, and earthquakes seriously enough and has set to remedy the problem by utilizing Mennonite names for next year’s hurricane season. The 2018 list is as follows:
- Hurricane Abe
