MIAMI (AP) - Dean, Felix and Noel are off the list of storm
names.
A hurricane committee voted to retire those names Tuesday
because they were 3 of the most devastating storms of the 2007
Atlantic hurricane season.
Almost 200 people died after Dean and Noel struck the Caribbean
and Bahamas; 130 people died in Nicaragua and Honduras with Felix.
The list changes every six years. The names will be replaced in
2013 with Dorian, Fernand and Nestor.
This season's names include: Arthur, Bertha, Christobal, Dolly,
Edouard, Fay, Gustav, Hanna, Ike, Josephine, Kyle, Laura, Marco,
Nana, Omar, Paloma, Rene, Sally, Teddy, Vicky and Wilfred.
Members of the World Meteorological Organization met Tuesday in
Orlando for its annual meeting.
