The name Hilda has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, six in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, one in the Western Pacific Ocean, one in the Southwest Indian Ocean and one in the Southwest Pacific Ocean. It was used in the Atlantic before the formal naming system was instituted. It was retired in the Atlantic due to the destruction in 1964, but remains on the Pacific list.

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)
“There was never yet such a storm but it was Æolian music to a healthy and innocent ear.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
