My picks:
Hurricane Charley: For slamming into SW Florida as a strong Category 4. The first major to hit SW Florida since Donna in 1960. Also the first major to hit the U.S. since Bret in 1999. Also the first hurricane to make landfall on South Carolina since Hugo in 1989.
Hurricane Frances: For hitting Bahamas as a Category 4 and 3 and also hitting Florida as a Category 2, the first hurricane to strike the central coast of Florida since Erin in 1995.
Hurricane Ivan: For ravaging Grenada, Jamaica, Cayman Islands.
For slamming into the Gulf Coast as a strong Category 3. First major to make landfall on Alabama since Frederic in 1979.
Hurricane Jeanne: For catastrophic flooding in Haiti. Jeanne's retirement became definite when she made landfall on Florida as a Category 3. The first east Florida coast major since Andrew in 1992.
All 4 names will be retired as kind of a tag-team for hitting Florida.

Alex-No way...
Gaston-Possible for distroying part of a city...

Frances-Possible but it was not very strong...Alot of rain!
Ivan-For distroying islands in western Cuba...Then slaming into the united states as a top in cat3...
Jeanne-Possible because Hati is not part of the Wmo...Which hurricane Gordon hit killing 1,500 people...But that storm was not retired...In for the possible because it hit Florida as a ca3...

I somewhat have to agree with this. And the fact that it "supposedly" (according to the NHC at least
) came back a 2nd time and poured rain on (and flooded) SE Texas and SW Louisiana.
