2. So far the spaghetti models keep it away from Florida

However, the early models did the same with Irma, so I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

3. Maria, I just met a storm named Maria ....

And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!

Say it loud and there's music playing,
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.
