WASHINGTON — Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Beryl were so nasty last year that their names are being retired.

Before passing almost directly over the Houston region on July 8, when it caused widespread power outages and contributed to dozens of deaths, Hurricane Beryl devastated multiple Caribbean islands and was the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Wednesday officially replaced the names of the trio of 2024 storms that killed more than 300 people and caused more than $119 billion in damage.

Beryl, Helene and Milton have been retired from the Atlantic hurricane name list, while John was retired from the Pacific list. Brianna, Holly, Miguel and Jake will take their places. The names were retired because they were so deadly.

The organization tasked with maintaining rotating lists of hurricane names has retired the monikers of three of 2024's most destructive storms.

The 2024 hurricane season was another record-breaking one. The World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Hurricane Committee has retired three names from the Atlantic Basin list. Brianna, Holly, and Miguel will replace Beryl, Helene, and Milton on the 2030 name list. Hurricane names are retired after it causes many deaths and or significant damage.
