Thanks good info.
btw I am not convinced Ada and Althea were only a 1 tho as reports on the storms I have read have them as a 4 on the Aussie Scale

List is not quite complete. The name Bess was retired in WPAC after the 1974 season in memory of the recon crew lost while flying in the storm over the South China Sea. I personally weather briefed the crew that was lost on the mission prior to the one they were lost on. I was then a forecaster at Clark AB, RP.

I've googled over and over for it but can't find much.

I'm not sure if SWIO retires names.

Hmmm......she was used again in 1982 and became a super typhoon.

SWIO doesn't have a rotating list, so retiring a name is kind of pointless..

That's true. However, it'd be interesting to see what ones would probably retired.

I'll try and make a list.
