Hurricane Celia (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Celia has been used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean, and five tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. It was used in the Atlantic before the formal naming system was instituted; though it was retired following the 1970 storm, it remains on the Eastern Pacific list.
