Two tropical cyclone names in the Atlantic were retired from the official name rotation by the World Meteorological Organizations hurricane committee because of the deaths and damage they caused in 2010. The committee issues the list of potential names for tropical cyclones to be used every six years for both the Atlantic and eastern North Pacific basins.
