go to original April 21, 2014

The names of two hurricanes that caused death and destruction in Mexico last year have been dropped from the list of hurricane names in the Atlantic and the North Pacific oceans.

Ingrid and Manuel will no longer be used for future tropical storms or hurricanes, the World Meteorological Organization’s hurricane committee announced last week.

Both storms caused damage and casualties in Mexico, bringing widespread heavy rains and flooding. Ingrid caused 32 deaths, mostly in eastern Mexico, while Manuel resulted in at least 123 deaths, primarily in western Mexico.

The World Meteorological Organization will replace the name Ingrid with “Imelda” on the Atlantic hurricane list and Manuel with “Mario” on the North Pacific list when the 2013 lists are reused in 2019.
