Igor and Tomas: Two names that won't be used again

Hurricane Igor: NOAA
Hurricane Tomas: NOAA
Hurricane Igor and Hurricane Tomas are two names that we won't be hearing in the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season.  The two tropical cyclone names were officially retired from rotation by the World Meteorological Organization's hurricane committee because of the deaths and damage they caused in 2010.  Igor and Tomas would have appeared in 2016 but will no longer be used.  In their places will be Ian and Tobias.   Click here for more information on the damage both hurricanes caused.
