Tropical Storm Juliet

The name Juliet has been used for two tropical cyclones - one in the Atlantic Ocean and one in the southwestern Indian Ocean. This name should not be confused with Juliette which is currently on the lists for the eastern Pacific Ocean.

  • 1978's Tropical Storm Juliet - a weak tropical storm that dissipated north of the Caribbean islands.
  • 2005's Very Intense Tropical Cyclone Juliet - formed near the Cocos (Keeling) Islands as Severe Tropical Cyclone Adeline.

Famous quotes containing the words tropical, storm and/or juliet:

    Physical force has no value, where there is nothing else. Snow in snow-banks, fire in volcanoes and solfataras is cheap. The luxury of ice is in tropical countries, and midsummer days. The luxury of fire is, to have a little on our hearth; and of electricity, not the volleys of the charged cloud, but the manageable stream on the battery-wires. So of spirit, or energy; the rests or remains of it in the civil and moral man, are worth all the cannibals in the Pacific.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I am less affected by their heroism who stood up for half an hour in the front line at Buena Vista, than by the steady and cheerful valor of the men who inhabit the snow-plow for their winter quarters; who have not merely the three-o’-clock-in-the-morning courage, which Bonaparte thought was the rarest, but whose courage does not go to rest so early, who go to sleep only when the storm sleeps or the sinews of their iron steed are frozen.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    For never was a story of more woe
    Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
