So most of us know of how, for some odd reason, there have been more devastating and notable storms, mainly in the Atlantic, with names beginning with the letter "I" than storms that have names beginning with any other letter.
Here's a list of some of the significant "I" named storms I can think of.
Debatable storms either didn't cause as much damage as others, weren't retired, or both.
Atlantic:
- Ione, 1955 (Caused $600 million in damage, first 'I' named storm in the Atlantic to be retired.)
- Inez, 1966 (Killed at least 750 people)
- Isabel, 1985 (debatable, as most of the damage it caused was while it was non-tropical)
- Iris, 2001
- Isidore, 2002
- Isabel, 2003
- Ivan, 2004 (10th most intense Atlantic hurricane, 6th costliest Atlantic hurricane on record.)
- Ike, 2008 (3rd costliest Atlantic hurricane on record)
- Ida, 2009 (debatable, as damage wasn't too high, and there weren't too many deaths, but it dumped a lot of rain. Ida is also one of the wettest tropical cyclones on record in Nicaragua.)
- Igor, 2010
- Irene, 2011 (7th costliest Atlantic hurricane on record)
- Isaac, 2012
- Ingrid, 2013
- Irma, 2017
Bonuses:
- Iwa, 1982, CPAC
- Ike, 1984, WPAC
- Iniki, 1992, CPAC
- Ismael, 1995, EPAC
- Ioke, 2006, CPAC & WPAC
Got any examples I missed? Feel free to leave a comment, and I'll add it to the list.
