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:
“Oh, you’ll love the sea. There’s something about it. The hot red dawn, the towering sails, the wake on a tropical night. Oh, you’ll love it all. It’s a glorious kind of world. I couldn’t live without it.”
—Charles Larkworthy. Denison Clift. Capt. Benjamin Briggs (Arthur Margetson)
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
