Quote: After seeing the death count in Hispaniola, most of which was in Haiti (they can't catch a break this year), I'm wondering if NHC will retire Jeanne this year as well as the three we know are already gone. <snip>
I think Jeanne, Ivan and Charley will be retired. I'm not sure about Frances <snip>
I read earlier this year that "Frances" was already scheduled for retirement before the hurricane formed. France asked and was granted the request.
Frances in Spanish means 'France' and the French didn't want any confusion.
I was wondering about Gaston retirement myself.
And I think I saw somewhere something about large death tolls in Haiti don't automatically cause hurricane name retirement. Sad.
