Re: Last dance with Frances?

I don't think that it will necessarily develop into something big, and I certainly hope that it doesn't do any damage, but this is why the name will be retired regardless:-

"The Committee recalled that, at its session in 2002, the delegate from France requested consideration of a change of the name “Frances”, which is on the list for 2004, to be made at this session. The Committee agreed to change the name after the 2004 hurricane season."

That is from the website of the World Meteorological Organisation.
