Just because a name is used(and/or retired) in the Atlantic doesn't mean it can't be reused in the Pacific. Celia, Hilda(and Dora of this year) are all examples. All of them are former Atlantic retirees and currently on the EPac list. But the same name cannot be on both lists at the same time. Beatriz shouldn't be retired simply because Mexico has seen so much worse. In the case of Matthew, I have a hard time believing it did anywhere near 2.6 billion in damage. The reports from Mexico and Nicaragua don't indicate it did severe damage. I think the 8 billion from Karl and Matthew combined is instead Alex and Karl and Matthew or something else like that. I have checked many other sources from the places affected and I can't believe even 100 million may be accurate for Matthew. Wikipedia does offer a comprehensive coverage from TC's, but I don't always trust damages from Wikipedia, especially from storms like that, nor other damage figures like the 1 billion cited from Gilbert in St. Lucia.
