Re: Most retired letter?
The letters F, C and I are now all very close in the amount of retired names. With Florence gone, F now has 9 retired names. C is still at 9 and I is at 11

Re: Most retired letter?
If this is to be believed then 1964 would have seen the retirements of Florence, Gladys, and Katy.

Re: Most retired letter?
Something interesting to note is that if Sally gets retired, it would be the third S name and therefore, the first letter after M to have 3 names get retired. Crazy how in just 15 years we could potentially have half of the original S names gone with Sam, Shary and Sebastien as the final three remaining.

Re: Most retired letter?
With Dorian, Laura, Eta, and Iota gone, I wonder how the race is shaping up.

Re: Most retired letter?
With this being taken into consideration, I wonder what changes there would be.
