The name of a hurricane is retired if it is especially deadly or damaging, and Hurricane Dennis was a very damaging hurricane. So now no new storms will be named Dennis (normally names are re-used every six years). So, instead of Dennis the 4th storm of the 2011 hurricane season was named Don.
Is it true that a hurricane name is never used more than once?
Normally a hurricane name is used to name a new storm every six years. For example, the first Atlantic tropical storms of 1981, 1987, 1993, 1999, 2005, and 2011 were all named Arlene. If a storm named is retired it will not be used again on the next six year cycle. For example, the 11th Atlantic tropical storms of 1981, 1999, and 2005 were all named Katrina (there was no 11th storm in 1987 or 1993). However, because the Hurricane Katrina that happened in 2005 was so devastating its name was not used to name any storms in 2011. Instead, the 11th Atlantic tropical storm of 2011 was named Katia.
