The name Babe has been used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean and six tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific Ocean.
Babe was used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the relatively minimal damage caused by the storm, the name Babe was not retired; however, after male names were added to the list of Atlantic hurricane names, Babe was removed and has not been used to name a storm since.
- Hurricane Babe (1977)

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or babe:
“Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“After the brief bivouac of Sunday,
their eyes, in the forced march of Monday to Saturday,
hoist the white flag, flutter in the snow storm of paper,”
—Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
“And if the Babe is born a Boy
He’s given to a Woman Old,
Who nails him down upon a rock
Catches his shrieks in cups of gold.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
