Records and Naming
Severe Tropical Cyclone Daman, with a pressure of 925 hPa (mbar), was the strongest storm within the 2007–08 South Pacific season, as well as the most intense storm during 2007 that RSMC Nadi had monitored in the south Pacific that season.
This was the third time that the name Daman had been used to name a cyclone in the south Pacific, having last been used in the 1991-1992 season. After this season the name Daman was retired and replaced with the name Denia, after a request from the representative of Fiji, at the World Meteorological Organization's RA V Tropical Cyclone Committee.

Famous quotes containing the words records and/or naming:
“Philosophy, astronomy, and politics were marked at zero, I remember. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within fifty miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer, and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“See, see where Christ’s blood streams in the firmament!
One drop would save my soul—half a drop! ah, my Christ!—
Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ!—
Yet will I call on him!—O, spare me, Lucifer!—
Where is it now? ‘T is gone; and see where God
Stretcheth out his arm, and bends his ireful brows!—
Mountains and hills, come, come and fall on me,
And hide me from the heavy wrath of God!”
—Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
