The names of last year’s two monster hurricanes – Florence and Michael – will never be used again after they were officially «retired» Thursday.
The storms killed nearly 100 people and caused about $50 billion in damage from Florida north to Virginia last year, The two names have now been retired by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The meteorological organization retired the two names from its rotating list used for hurricanes and tropical storms due to the death and destruction the storms caused.
According to a statement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Wednesday, Florence caused at least 51 deaths in September amid record flooding across the Carolinas and Virginia.
