1984 Pacific Hurricane Season - Storm Names

Storm Names

The following names were used for named storms that formed in the eastern Pacific in 1984. No names were retired, so the list of names was used again in the 1990 season. However, the last name in this list (Wallis) was at some point exchanged with the last name (Winnie) of the previous year's list, to form the modern list. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly,
    While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high;
    Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past;
    Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.”
    —Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

    “Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
