What if Katrina occurs a year earlier?

[Soaring Eagle]

If Katrina had followed the same pattern of development precisely a year earlier, we would be talking about the devastation of Hurricane Frances.  Which is kinda unfortunate, because if it had become a tropical storm just a day later (in this new timeline) then we would have been talking about Hurricane Gaston.  And Gaston is just a way cooler name.

A hurricane named after the villain in Beauty and the Beast would be quite interesting, I must admit.
