I thought it said OKra — of course that is equally stupid.

Actually – it seems I’ve got it wrong. It’s ORKO which is even odder; sounds like an oil company name.

Reminds me of the snowy night the Weston fire engine demolished your “Grey.”

Ahhh, a 15-ton American LaFrance filled to the brim with water and a not too sober volunteer at the wheel. The car was so crushed that the Westport News ran a three column picture of it and quoted the guys at the towing company who said they’d ‘never seen so thoroughly destroyed a car”! And I had just gotten out of it 15 minutes before. Elvis was on my shoulder.
Other snowy nights were better.

Given that the last one was Nemo, I’m guessing – and it’s just a guess – that Orka is referring to the old, old, old Marvel Comics character, Orka from the very late ’60s or early ’70s.

You think we’ll have comic characters going? I like that, but I’m thinking evil ‘superheroes’ would be better!

I just read where you said it was Orko, not Orka, but that’s no better since Orko was a character in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. 😆
Of course, The Weather Channel claims that it’s Orko as in the Basque – Basque?!?! – god of storms.

Okay, keeping with a theme here. Does NOAA (who names these anyway?) have a sense of humor? And I looked it up and yup, Orko is also an ancient Basque diety.
And you are truly lup on your cartoon characters! 😆

It’s not NOAA or any other govt. agency this time. Naming winter storms is purely a conceit of the Weather Channel.
