1950 Atlantic Hurricane Season - Storm Names

Storm Names

This was the first Atlantic hurricane season in which cyclones that attained at least tropical storm status were given names. The names used to name storms during the 1950 season were taken from the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet, which was also used in the 1951 and 1952 hurricane seasons before being replaced by female names in 1953. Names that were not assigned are marked in gray.

Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    “As the bird trims her to the gale,
    I trim myself to the storm of time,
    I man the rudder, reef the sail,
    Obey the voice at eve obeyed in prime:
    “Lowly faithful, banish fear,
    Right onward drive unharmed;
    The port, well worth the cruise, is near,
    And every wave is charmed.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
