WMO Hurricane Committee retires the names Otis and Dora from the eastern North Pacific basin name list
The Committee also retired Dora from the eastern North Pacific name list, not because of direct damage, but because of sensitivities to the name Dora and the indirect meteorological role it played in the devastating wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, in August 2023. The name Dora was also retired from the Atlantic basin name list in 1964.
