Tropical Storm Florence
The name Florence has been used for ten tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean, and five tropical cyclones in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. It was used in the Pacific before the formal naming system was instituted, and then with the old four-year lists. In the Atlantic, "Florence" was added to the new lists created in 1979. After the retirement of Felix in the 2007 season, it is the only "F" name that still remains on the lists since its first use.
