Hurricane Florence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Florence has been used for eight tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, and five tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, making it the most used storm name. It was used in the Pacific before the formal naming system was instituted, and then with the old four-year lists.
