The central Pacific used names and numbers from the west Pacific's typhoon list. Two names — June and Ruby — were required. Of the eleven hurricane seasons from 1970-81 where central Pacific cyclones were named using the west Pacific list, this is the first and only one to use multiple names.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:
“When the storm rattles my windowpane
I’ll stay hunched at my desk, it will roar in vain
For I’ll have plunged deep inside the thrill
Of conjuring spring with the force of my will,
Coaxing the sun from my heart, and building here
Out of my fiery thoughts, a tepid atmosphere.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Our foreparents were mostly brought from West Africa.... We were brought to America and our foreparents were sold; white people bought them; white people changed their names ... my maiden name is supposed to be Townsend, but really, what is my maiden name? What is my name?”
—Fannie Lou Hamer (1917–1977)
