I will not fix this. The issue is that there is no status in front of the name in the header. The package relies on first identifying a status and then, based off that determining the name. Because status is non-existent, this particular advisory does not parse correctly.

Hurricane Juan, Adv 15

I have added a Known Data Quality Issues section to the README to document this. At this point of time since this is likely a one-time issue, I would rather leave it to be fixed by the user than attempt to resolve it here.
