Hurricane Hortense (disambiguation)

The name Hortense was used for three tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.
* 1984's Hurricane Hortense - meandered over Bermuda as a tropical storm, causing no reported damage.
* 1990's Tropical Storm Hortense - formed west of Africa and headed west, but interaction with Hurricane Gustav dissipated it.
* 1996's Hurricane Hortense - passed over Guadeloupe and Puerto Rico, and grazed the eastern Dominican Republic and the Turks and Caicos Islands. 21 were killed and $127 million in damage done to Puerto Rico, and extensive but isolated damage in the Dominican Republic.

The name Hortense was retired after the 1996 season, and was replaced by Hanna in the 2002 season.
