Yes. In 2000, Hurricane Michael was a Cat 2 hurricane; it made landfall in Newfoundland. Another Hurricane Micheal in 2012 reached category 3 strength but did not affect land. In 2006, there were not enough named tropical storms to get up to 'M'.
Yes there has been a hurricane that has been named Victoria but not Tori. But Victoria was just a tropical storm but i still think it was really a hurricane instead of a tropical storm.
There has never been a hurricane named Ashley in the Atlantic basin. The closest was Tropical Storm Arthur in 2020.
A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when its sustained winds reach or exceed 74 mph (119 km/h). This increase in wind speed marks the transition from a tropical storm to a hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Tropical Storm Ike became a hurricane on September 3, 2008.
Generally not. A tropical storm is the same type of storm as a hurricane except weaker. A tropical storm has sustained winds ranging from39 to 73 mph. One winds hit 74 mph or higher it is considered a hurricane.
why yes there is a hurricane named Nicholas. it is a tropical storm :)
No. There is no record of a hurricane or tropical storm named Robin.
A storm doesn't have to be a hurricane to be named. A system is named as soon as it becomes a tropical or subtropical storm. About half of all tropical storms become hurricanes.

The first named storm was Ana (tropical storm); the first hurricane was Bill.
The storm named Allison never became a hurricane, it was just a tropical storm. A hurricane/tropical storm name is retired if the storm is especially devastating, and Tropical Storm Allison of 2001 caused massive damage from flooding. Because of this no future storm will be named Allison (normally a name is reused every 6 years). So instead the first tropical storm in the Atlantic in 2007 was named Andrea.
The tenth named storm of the 2011 season was Tropical Storm Jose.
The 11th named storm of the 2009 Atlantic Hurricane Season was Hurricane Ida.
Yes, there has been a tropical storm named Shelley. Specifically, Tropical Storm Shelley formed in the Eastern Pacific in 1995. However, there has never been a hurricane officially named Shelley in the Atlantic hurricane naming system.
The next Atlantic hurricane after Ike was Kyle. However, the next named storm after Ike was Tropical Storm Josephine, which did not reach hurricane strength.
There has never been a hurricane named Ashley in the Atlantic basin. The closest was Tropical Storm Arthur in 2020.
No. For one thing, tropical depressions aren't named. A system only receives a name when it reaches tropical storm status. Even then, no tropical storm or hurricane has been named Sophia.
