Hurricane Celia
I thought hurricane names could not be used more than once. Hurricane Celia hit the Texas coast in 1970. And there is currently a tropical storm Celia in the Pacific?

I found the following info regarding Hurricane Celia which was retired for the Atlantic Basin.
Due to the severity of damage caused by the hurricane, the World Meteorological Organization retired the name Celia the following year. The name was then replaced by Carmen which was retired upon its first use in 1974. However, the name Celia is still used for Eastern Pacific name lists and was most recently used in 2010.
