1950 Atlantic Hurricane Season - Storm Names

Storm Names

This was the first Atlantic hurricane season in which cyclones that attained at least tropical storm status were given names. The names used to name storms during the 1950 season were taken from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet, which was also used in the 1951 and 1952 hurricane seasons before being replaced by female names in 1953. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “I cannot think this creature died
    By storm or fish or sea-fowl harmed
    Walking the sea so heavily armed;
    Or does it make for death to be
    Oneself a living armoury?”
    —Andrew Young (1885–1971)

    “Almanacked, their names live; they
    Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
    Or gallop for what must be joy,”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
