THE RETIREMENT OF HURRICANE NAMES

Hurricanes that have a severe impact on lives or the economy are remembered generations after they strike and some become a part of weather history. Whenever a hurricane has had a major impact, any country affected by the storm can request that the named hurricane be "retired" by agreement of the World Meterological Organizations (WMO). Retiring a name means that it cannot be reused for at least 10 years to facilitate historic references, legal actions, insurance activities, etc. and avoid public confusion with another storm of the same name. If that happens, a similar name is selected in English, Spanish or French for Atlantic storms.
