(WMO) in a meeting in March, April, or May of each year. Those hurricanes that have their names retired tend to be exceptionally destructive storms that often become household names in the regions they affected.

Listed by death toll

This lists all retired Atlantic hurricanes by the number of direct deaths they caused.

Hurricane names are generally retired for one of two reasons, either because they were particularly damaging or particularly deadly. While many damaging storms caused little loss of life, most deadly storms also caused heavy damage.

Most storms cause fatalities not by their high winds but rather through flooding - either storm surge

Storm surge

A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically tropical cyclones and strong extratropical cyclones. Storm surges are caused primarily by high winds pushing on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than the ordinary sea...

or inland flooding due to rainfall. Storm surge has the highest potential for deaths; with modern forecasting, warning, and evacuation storm surge deaths can be almost eliminated, but the potential is still very high for catastrophe in places where warning systems are not in place or if warnings are ignored. Inland flooding, by contrast, is unpredictable because it depends heavily on a hurricane's interaction with the terrain and with other nearby weather systems. Two retired hurricanes, Hurricane Elena

Hurricane Elena

Hurricane Elena was a category 3 major hurricane that produced heavy damage along the Gulf Coast of the United States in August and September of the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season. The fifth tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and first major hurricane of the season, Elena developed near Cuba from a...

(1985) and Hurricane Paloma (2008) did not cause any direct deaths, rather they caused indirect deaths Elena (4) and Paloma (1) therefore, they are not included in this list.

Because of uncertainty in the death toll, an exact ordering of storms is not always possible.
