Bye-bye, Helene, Milton and Beryl. Names from those nasty hurricanes are now retired

Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Beryl were so nasty last year that their names are being retired. The World Meteorological Organization on Wednesday officially replaced the names of the 2024 storms that killed more than 300 people and caused more than $119 billion in damage. Brianna, Holly and Miguel take their place in the rotating six-year list of names for Atlantic storms set in advance by a committee of international meteorologists. Retiring the names of killer storms is a regular practice, and the list is approaching 100. Hurricanes Helene, Milton and Beryl were so nasty last year that their names are being retired.
