Paloma was retired for its affects on the Cayman Islands, not Cuba. Hence the replacement name being Paulette instead of a Spanish name. I still think that should have stayed due to Ivan four years earlier. I also wouldn’t retire Bret, Gordon, Emily, or Edith. Bret and Gordon because they were tropical storms and weren’t seriously considered as candidates for retirement until Allison 2001. Emily and Edith weren’t too destructive despite their strength. Fay 2008 has the case of both scenarios. Hanna, IDK if deaths are a proper indication of devastation in Haiti due to it being so poor, mountainous and deforested that it doesn’t take much to kill a lot in Haiti.
