The World Meteorological Organization has retired the names Fiona and Ian from its roster of tropical storm names, citing the damage caused by hurricanes with those names in 2022.
"Fiona was a large and powerful hurricane, which hit communities in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos," the agency said. "It then moved northward over the western Atlantic and struck Canada as a strong post-tropical cyclone in September 2022, bringing significant damage and loss of life along its path."
At least 25 lives were lost as the storm system rolled up from the Caribbean, including a woman washed out to sea in Port aux Basques, N.L., as Fiona ripped homes off their foundations.The weather organization called Fiona "the costliest extreme weather event on record in Atlantic Canada." Hurricane Ian hit western Cuba before making landfall in southwestern Florida at Category 4 strength.
