Atlantic storm names run on a six-year loop — the 2026 list is the 2020 list, used again. A name only leaves the loop when the storm was deadly or costly enough that reusing it would insult the people who lived through it. So this is really a list of the worst storms anyone alive remembers. 100 names, 1954 to 2025. The worst single season was 2005: Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma, five gone at once.
