Tropical Storm Irene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The name Irene has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

• 1959's Tropical Storm Irene - Caused minor damage to the Florida Panhandle.
• 1971's Hurricane Irene - Category 1 hurricane. Struck Nicaragua as a category 1 hurricane. After that, Irene tracked to the Eastern Pacific Ocean and became Eastern Pacific's hurricane Olivia.
• 1981's Hurricane Irene - Category 3 hurricane. Moved across the Atlantic both ways, eventually hitting France as an extratropical storm.
• (not used in 1987 and 1993)
• 1999's Hurricane Irene - Category 2 hurricane. Passed over Cuba and struck Florida, causing $800 million (1999 USD) in damage.
• 2005's Hurricane Irene - Category 2 hurricane; did not affect land.

Had modern technology been available in the 1954 Atlantic hurricane season, the second Hurricane Alice in late December would have been named Irene.

The name Irene has been also used once in the Western Pacific, and once in the southwest Indian Ocean.
