Via CNN, NOAA has officially removed Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma from the rotation of tropical storm/hurricane names. The names of storms that cause significant damage or the loss of life are removed from the list to avoid future confusion.
The first name of the new season is Alberto, which was a tropical storm and major rain event when it came ashore near me in 1994. The names that are not removed are reused every six years.

I move we christen the first storm “Alberto Gonzalez.” Would be an apt comparison to all the damage the attorney general has done to the legal infrastructure of this land.
It think of him too, Michael. The 1994 storm is still causing mold and mildew problems for the condos that were under construction when it hit. You think you got rid of the problems, then they pop up somewhere elese.
