The name is quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest, likely a reference to the nearby problems The Tempest and Tempest in a Teapot.

PROSPERO My brave spirit!
Who was so firm, so constant, that this coil. Would not infect his reason?

ARIEL Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad, and played
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel,
Then all afire with me. The King’s son, Ferdinand,
With hair up-staring—then like reeds, not hair—
Was the first man that leaped; cried “Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.”

PROSPERO Why, that’s my spirit!
But was not this nigh shore? [1]
