:Yes - storms that reach hurricane statis keep that reference forever. We still call Andrew and Katrina hurricanes even though they eventually downgraded and petered out. The name "Irene" has been used before - I don't know if it will be retired this time or not. It depends on the death toll/damages, I believe. --[[User:SharonW|SharonW]] 09:56, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

::Seeing as all hurricanes begin and end as tropical storms, should we change the name of any other articles on hurricanes for the sake of consistency? [[User:BrentH|BrentH]] 09:57, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

:::I know Wikipedia uses the convention of "Hurricane X (Year)" for names that have been used multiple times...if more hurricane articles are created this naming convetion would make sense to use. [[User:AaronL|AaronL]] 09:58, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
:::The name shouldn't be changed because it doesn't make sense to change the names. Once a storm becomes a hurricane it is referred to as a hurricane forever. [[User:AaronL|AaronL]] 10:00, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
