Watcher in the Water - You forget he is there since he generally stays out of sight. You go about your business and conveniently forget that you are living fairly close to the water in a place that can be quite dangerous. Then he sticks out his tentacle to try and claw you in, and you are actually surprised.

That's exactly what Katrina. It came outta nowhere.

Hurin - When the hurricane keeps comming and doesn't stop. What was going through all those troll's minds, you ask? Well I'll tell you: "He Just Won't Die!"

Movie Arwen - Because she's so whiny, she makes me want to evacuate the movie theater!

Ulmo - Lord of water. When he unsubmerges (My online thesaurus didn't have any antonyms) great title waves get the coast. Maybe he's doing cannon balls during hurricanes.

Mumakil - Because they're so good at crashing into things!

Sauron - Category 5 hurricane because he always hits hard!

Category1 Hurricane: Lotho -because it would be enough to cause some major problems but most likely survivable.

Theres a hurrican named Gollum coming through. Save your souls little hobbits move your lazy bones.Annoyed by the torturing he is now attacking in the form of a hurricane.

Spurred from Perky's idea...
Sauron: Such a name should only belong to a storm with a great EYE. HAH! Eye of the storm? Eh? Eh?

Namo: Meaning "Ordainer" or "Judge", and is another title for Mandos. Its nearly impossible for anyone to 'judge' where a hurricane will make landfall, unless you're the driving force.

Teleporno; a disaster that almost happened, but changed course at the last minute.

Or maybe Luthien? I mean look at all the dancing and spinning she was making in the woods..

Oh. My. Eru. That was the worst. (But I loved it...)

Category one, though...
Hurricane Pippin: Much less dangerous than other hurricanes, but tends to muck up most everything in its path.

my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt,
my wings a hurricane, and my breath death.

Do I need to say any more?

It seems to me that Aerandir would fit the bill. His name translates into "Sea wanderer" which is what large storms are apt to do out in their respective large bodies of water.

And if we were to strictly look at the meanings of names Balrog "Demon of Might" makes an excellent name. Of course its hard to credit a storm of water and wind with a name fit for a demon of shadow and flame.

On the other side of the spectrum: Caranthir would also make a fitting storm name when we consider his quick anger and harsh temperment being that of a brutal storm.
