Tropical Storm Hanna

Tropical Storm Hanna

The name Hanna/Hannah has been used for three tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean:

* 1959's Hurricane Hannah – a strong storm that was only a threat to shipping.
* 2002's Tropical Storm Hanna – a storm that made landfall in the United States.
* 2008's Hurricane Hanna – Caused over 500 deaths in Haiti before travelling up the east U.S. coast in September 2008.

(Hanna is now used on the six-year lists in the Atlantic, where it replaced Hortense.)

The name was also used for one tropical cyclone in the Pacific Ocean:

* 2007's Tropical Storm Lekima - a storm that made landfall in Northern Philippines. This storm was called Hanna by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

Additionally, a popular episode of the television series the Wonderful World of Disney aired in 1962 called Hurricane Hannah; although this was about a fictitious hurricane, it used actual footage from hurricane hunter aircraft of the 1961 storm Hurricane Carla.

The Disney tween sensation of the second half of the 2000s, Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) has often been dubbed Hurricane Hannah, most prominently in an October 18, 2007 article in Time Magazine. (It should be noted that this article predated the 2008 storm by that name).
