stormitecture Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The names Igor and Tomas in the Atlantic would have appeared again in 2016 but will no longer be used. In their places will be Ian and Tobias. Full article here: Two Tropical Cyclone Names Retired from List of Atlantic Storms Wonder if Josh likes or dislikes this...

Thunder Road Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Igor got retired for hitting Bermuda as a Cat 1 and Newfoundland as an extratropical storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Note that neither of the two storms that significantly impacted Mexico, Alex and Karl, were retired. Mexico is known for rarely requesting the retirement of names. The fact that Karl caused over $5 Billlion (in U.S. figures) in damage without retirement is unusual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 omg lucky bastard. They will never use Aaron because "Erin" is already in the rotation and I can't imagine they would dip to that well twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Lizard Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 lucky bastard. They will never use Aaron because "Erin" is already in the rotation and I can't imagine they would dip to that well twice. Haroun is the Arabic version of Aaron. If they get a little multicultural. I have to live with the French Edouard, but it is what is is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Lizard Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That reminds me... Ian is Scottish for John/Sean/Juan/Ivan, and we have had decent Juan's before. And, of course, Ivan. Johannes is probably the modern name closest to the name Yochanan, the Hebrew name from which the myriad names meaning the same as the English "John" are derived. BTW, useless trivia department, President Obama's first name does not mean 'lightning', as some Hebrew speakers might suspect. Rather, it is the Arabic version of the Hebrew name "Baruch".
