Dolly Parton died. Now there's a storm coming in the Atlantic and the name seems perfectly chosen

The next major storm in the Atlantic will be named Dolly, coincidentally the name of the famous country singer Dolly Parton. The National Hurricane Center in the United States confirmed that the storm has been named Dolly, which is the fourth name on the list for this year's hurricane season. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is responsible for tracking and naming North Atlantic hurricanes. Dolly Parton herself is currently in good health, and the "death" mentioned in the article title appears to be misleading, actually just a joke or misinformation. The storm is expected to form in the coming days, but there is no detailed information yet about its trajectory or intensity.

The coincidence occurs because the name Dolly was scheduled to be used this hurricane season, regardless of any other event.
