Official 2005 retired names and 2011 list of names

[cycloneye]

They haved it all decided as the meeting is over since yesterday.But it takes time to update the storm names page at NHC so be patient.Folks the clue about when the 2005 names and the list fot 2011 is posted at this thread will be when you see it sticky. In the meantime we can continue to have good discussions about this interesting theme.

Thanks. What do you think of the names Derek, Donald, Elizabeth, Emma, Katie, Kayla, Krista, Rosie, Ruth, Scott, Sean, Stephen, Whitney and Willow?

Ok I am stepping in here now.I say to you directly cease from posting that kind of posts because if not you will find out what will be the next response from me and the staff.

why? cant he be imaginative?

[DoctorHurricane2003]

Um, fact, in case you didn't know, posting the same thing 61 times with minor variances is far from being "imaginative"

[NONAME]

Plz Quite arguing thanks.

[cycloneye]

Fact,I locked a few threads in the past from him related to names for 2007,2008,2009,2010,2011 so he has a not so good history already here.

Ok after this brief interruption let's return to discuss about this theme.

[Jim Cantore]

Katrina, Rita, and Wilma will be retired

Dennis and Emily will likely be retired

Stan and Vince (you heard me) Should be retired.

I agree with all except Vince. Vince was unusual, but that is not enough to get a name retired. Or is there something I'm missing?

Sure it didnt ring up alot of damage or kill anyone, The reason I say he should be is because he did something that we may not see again in our lifetime, maybe not see again for hundreds of years. Vince is in a class of his own for that.

That's still not a good enough reason for retirement. It hardly did any damage in Portugal or Spain. A drunk-driver can do more damage than Vince did. Nobody died. It isn't a noteworthy storm, really--not that it matters. There isn't a need to retire it for legal actions. There isn't a need to retire it for insurance claims. Matter of fact... very few locals even knew it by "Vince". There isn't a reason to retire it.

Furthermore, if you retire Vince, you have to retire Ana and every other odd storm. However, there isn't a need. So Vince doesn't need to be retired.

It was noteworthy to us over here who follow these things (But not really enough to be retired), but yes not many people knew it was there. Probably because the public would just of seen it as a normal depression.

One thing that annoyed me though was I didn't see any mention of it in the media, whereas if it had been off Florida it would probably have been the top story.

Oh and it also helped start the term Eurotropics which I use whenever I can now.

Does anyone know how long after the meetings the reports are issued? You can easily find last years one via Google.

Right... of course it's noteworthy to those who follow these sort of things... regardless of which side of the pond you are. My point was only that to the locals... this was hardly noteworthy. As you mentioned and as I noticed from following the Spanish and Portguese media (well... as much as I can)... it was hardly noted. Hardly anyone knew it was a Hurricane, much less a "named" storm. It was just another "disturbance" to ruin an otherwise sunny day.

[StormScanWx]

Maybe the world will find out tommorow (Thursday)the retired names, but I am not going to get my hopes up, as the WMO/NHC have disappointed me so far( ), because the meeting is over and the names have been decided.

I am starting to agree with you, senorpepr. Where does the madness stop? I mean, we'd be retiring every name in the book if every oddball storm was worthy of retirement. Vince is certainly not worthy. I suppose that's why they have a knowledgeable body do the decision making.

*BUMP*

[benny]

The word on the street is that Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma will be retired... and some sort of press release is coming out later this week summarizing all the info. At least that's what a wmo rep friend of mine told me.

[Buck]

The "word on the street" is probably from that article posted earlier before the WMO even met (or had finished meeting).

In other words,it's a matter of time that they make the 2005 names retired and the 2011 list official so let's be patient.Again to repeat what I said before here,if you see this thread stickied that means the official information is here.

Here it is folks.The 2005 retired names oficially are Dennis,Katrina,Rita,Stan and Wilma.Emily remains for 2011.As promised this thread is now a sticky for a couple of days.

[StormScanWx]

I cannot believe Emily wasn't retired!

[Andrew92]

Don, Katia, Rina, Sean, and Whitney are the replacement names. Therefore the 2011 looks like this:

Arlene
Bret
Cindy
Don
Emily
Franklin
Gert
Harvey
Irene
Jose
Katia
Lee
Maria
Nate
Ophelia
Philippe
Rina
Sean
Tammy
Vince
Whitney

[KWT]

I'm quite suprised that Emily wasn't retired.

Also Katia is quite close to Katrina!
I can just imagine hurricane Don though!

I agree about Katia. Also Rina sounds a lot like Rita, doesn't it?
