Re: 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Names
in reply to a message by Magda
Actually there was a fair amount of discussion over this. Hurricane names are retired when they become tied to specific, costly, and deadly storms. Tropical Storm Imelda on 2019 caused a tremendous amount of flooding and killed six people, but because the hurricane season has become increasingly intense due to climate change, apparently that wasn't enough to retire the name.It's the second costliest storm name not to be retired, following Sally in 2020. (Sally was also not retired.)
