Which hurricane names have been retired?

Posted on Thursday, October 21, 2010 11:46 AM
Occasionally out of the interest of sensitivity, particularly bad storm's names will be retired by the World Meteorological Organization.  Since the naming system was in place since 1950, this list only goes back to 1954.  The first hurricane that has it's name retired was Carol, but more followed suit in that year and nearly every year after.

Alphabetically, here is a list of the  73 retired Atlantic hurricane names as of October, 2010:

  1. Agnes  1972
  2. Alicia  1983
  3. Allen  1980
