WASHINGTON — The 2022 hurricane season has started. Here’s a look at the names of the storms this year.
There the list of names is reused every six years. For example, this year’s list will be used again in 2028. Occasionally, hurricane names will be retired, but only if a storm is especially deadly or costly. Some of the retired names include Katrina, Harvey, Betsy, Dorian, Laura, Ida, Agnes (1972) and Sandy (2012). As of May 2022, nearly 94 names have been retired from the hurricane list.
