Retirement[]
In the spring of 2004, the World Meteorological Organization retired eight names: Erika, Grace, Joaquin, Kate, Minnie, Teresa, Alpha and Gamma due to loss of life and damage caused by these storms. These will be replaced by Elsa, Glenda, Julian, Kelly, Molly and Thelma for 2009 Season.
In 1996, the World Meteorological Organization determined that a Greek name can be retired in a particular season, but will be reused if needed in the future.
