Giovanna - can you wait a few more years please? Thanks in advance.

This is what a satellite view of a cyclone looks like.

The big piece outlined in red? That's Madagascar.

Who the hell is responsible for naming these things??!?! GIOVANNA???? (I looked the meaning of the name up and here's what I got: Derived from the Hebrew Yohanan and means "God is gracious". In ancient times the name was given to children born to late-in-life parents. Ok, I admit, I found this last part a little ironic.....)

Even more fantastical??? Click on this link to see the trajectory: http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/tracker/dynamic/201212S.html

Some background info:
