Hurricane Isabel

Preparations

Due to the severe damage to property and people that brought Isabel over large areas, the name Isabel was canceled after the hurricane season 2003 from the list of names of tropical cyclones and will be so in future no longer used for the naming of tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean. Isabel was replaced with the name Ida, which was first provided in the 2009 season for use. The World Meteorological Organization had given the name over the other name suggestions Ina and Ivy preference.
