Hurricane Lili (disambiguation)
The name Lili was used for four tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. Lili is not to be confused with Lily, which was used in the Pacific Ocean.
- Hurricane Lili (1984) - a rare December hurricane, made landfall in Haiti on Christmas Eve after degenerating into a group of thunderstorms.
- Hurricane Lili (1990) - threatened the United States for a short time but turned north, losing its tropical characteristics before reaching Nova Scotia.
- Hurricane Lili (1996) - caused extensive damage in Central America, Cuba and the Bahamas; killed eight in Central America while it was forming, and retained tropical storm winds as it crossed the British Isles, killing two in the United Kingdom.
- Hurricane Lili (2002) - impacted Windward Islands, Jamaica and Haiti. After crossing the western end of Cuba, it reached Category 4 strength but weakened substantially in the 12 hours before striking Louisiana. Killed a dozen on the islands and caused $850 million in damage to the United States.
The name Lili was retired after the 2002 season, and was replaced by Laura in the 2008 season.
