JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has officially retired Helene and two other Atlantic hurricane names.

Names are repeated every six years, except when a storm is deadly enough to warrant retiring its name.

The other two names that are being retired are Beryl and Milton.

Beryl was the second-named storm of the hurricane season. It was the earliest Category 5 storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin and had major impacts in the Caribbean.

Helene and Milton caused catastrophic damage in the U.S. Helene was the deadliest hurricane to hit the continental U.S. since Katrina in 2005 with more than 248 fatalities, most of which occurred in North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the WMO. It caused an estimated $78.7 billion in damages, making it the seventh costliest hurricane in the U.S.

Milton caused an estimated $34.3 billion in damages and 15 fatalities.

The removed names will be replaced with Brianna, Holly, and Miguel.
