A hurricane name come up for re-use every six years until a storm by that name causes a lot of damage or kills a large number of people in which case it will be retired. A new name of the same gender and first letter will replace it when the list comes up again in six years. For example, after Hurricane Allen in 1980 killed 290 people its name was retired an replaced with Andrew which was used in 1986, and again in 1992, which was in turn retired due to massive damage and replaced with Alex for 1998, 2004, and 2010.
