Do you think the name of Tropical Storm Fay will be retired?

Question

Although it never made it to hurricane status, it did dump alot of rain and did make 4 US landfall, not to mention what it did before making it to the US.

Answer 1

yay!!!! never mind...fay sucks...it just doesnt want to leave does it?my name is Allison!!! isint that great!!! the weather people said that they might retire it...check weather.com

Answer 2

It doesn't have to be a Cat 3 or higher to be retired.  Tropical storm Allison hit texas in 2001 and wasn't a hurricane.  They retired the name Allison.  The rainfall was in the 4 foot range.  It is possible that Fay will be retired.  The flooding was pretty bad.  It was a pretty historic storm.  It is still causing havoc now as we speak.  My grandmother in laws house got damaged today from a tornado in South Carolina associated with Fay.  

Answer 3

not until she's completely disabled...or 65.

Answer 4

No, unfortuantly it has to be a category 3 or higher to be retired.

Even thought Fay has dumped so much rainfall and made landfall 4 times many other tropical storms/hurricanes have done the same thing

In a couple months almost everybody will forget about fay.

Now, Gustav may very well be retired this year.
