the week of Hurrican Sandy, I facetiously asked her why she had brought so much damage to the East Coast. She then informed me that her middle name is Katrina.

She is of Russian heritage, her first name is Alexandra and of course Katrina is Russian, also. She is a very nice woman, married to a retired Russian Orthodox Priest. The bought the apartment from the estate of a Jewish woman. So for the very agnostic "me" having someone of faith around can be very interesting.
