The name Delta was used for two tropical or subtropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.
- Subtropical Storm Delta (1972), Stayed out in the central Atlantic and did not affect any land masses
- Tropical Storm Delta (2005), Record 25th storm of the 2005 season that formed in the eastern Atlantic and affected the Canary and Madeira Islands as an extratropical storm before moving into Morocco, where it brought much needed rain to the region
Famous quotes containing the words tropical and/or storm:
“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)
“Think of the storm roaming the sky uneasily
like a dog looking for a place to sleep in,
listen to it growling.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
