Retired Hurricane Names
 

The WMO has the option of retiring hurricane names.  The committee has chosen to do so with the names of particularly deadly, costly,  or destructive hurricanes.  When this is the case, another name takes the retired name's place.

Below are links to lists of hurricane names for specific years.

Following that is a list of retired names for the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean.  Destructive storms that occurred prior to 1950 are not included in this list.

"I'd worked as an observer for years, but needed to re-certify.  I learned more in this course than I ever imagined I could and I passed the exam with flying colors. I am also definately a better observer"  TS, Louisiana


I knew nothing about weather at all.  My new job depended on passing the weather observer certification test.  Thanks to the patience and personal attention you gave us all, the entire class passed. JB, Texas


"When my company sent me to this class I thought I didn't need the training.  I was wrong.  Thanks"   RB, Texas


You are the "Gold Standard" of teaching.  Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had.  DG, Louisiana
