From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Isidore was used for four tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • 1984's Tropical Storm Isidore - A moderate Tropical Storm that made landfall near Andros Island, Bahamas and then crossed Central Florida, causing $750,000 worth in damage.
  • 1990's Hurricane Isidore - A Category 2 Hurricane that formed at an extremely low latitude, and travelled generally north across the central Atlantic Ocean never making landfall.
  • 1996's Hurricane Isidore - A Category 3 Major Hurricane which travelled north across the central Atlantic Ocean similar to 1990's Isidore, never making landfall.
  • 2002's Hurricane Isidore - A Major Category 3 Hurricane that struck Western Cuba as a Category 1 storm, then stuck the Yucatán as a Category 3 storm, meandering over the Yucatán for 36 hours before heading north and striking Louisiana as a tropical storm.

The name Isidore was retired after the 2002 season, and will be replaced by Ike in the 2008 season.
