Retired Hurricane Names

I saw a story today that said three names were added the retired hurricane names list. Over the last 55 years, only 14 of those have not had at least one storm named retired. 2008 had three names retired: Gustav, Ike, and Paloma. With the addition of the three names from last season, it brings the grand total to 73 retired storm names. 2005 had the most retired storm names with five total. Interesting stuff. The names added to the list will be replaced with Gonzalo, Isaias and Paulette. They will come up in 2014.
