Reply to comment by peterjoel in Ian, Fiona retired from hurricane naming lists by World Meteorological Organization by Scary-Kangaroo7775
it is like jersey retirement in sports, in that if you have a big career no one can use your number. usually it is to honor the losses and ensure that big hurricanes will be the only ones of their name after they happen

Still doesn't feel like "world news" though!
