Tropical Storm Hazel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Hazel has been used for two tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, three in the eastern Pacific Ocean, one in the western Pacific, and one in the Indian Ocean. It was used in all basins before formal naming systems were instituted. It has not been used since the six-year lists began, and will not be used again since it was retired due to the destruction in 1954.
