Tropical Storm Grace

The name Grace has been used for five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. The name replaced Gloria which was retired after the 1985 season:

  • Hurricane Grace (1991) – weak Category 2 hurricane that passed 50 miles (80 km) south of Bermuda but caused no significant damage. It later contributed to the creation of an unnamed hurricane (officially called Hurricane #8), nicknamed "The Perfect Storm".
  • Tropical Storm Grace (1997) – formed north of Hispaniola, threatened no land.
  • Tropical Storm Grace (2003) – made landfall on Galveston Island, Texas, causing heavy rainfall but no significant damage.
  • Tropical Storm Grace (2009) – nearly hurricane-force storm that formed northeast of the Azores, breaking Vince's record for the furthest northeast forming tropical storm in the basin.
  • Tropical Storm Grace (2015) – formed off the west coast of Africa, no threat to land.

The name was also used for ten tropical cyclones in the western Pacific:

The name was used for one tropical cyclone in the Southwest Indian Ocean.

The name was also used for two tropical cyclones in the Southwest Pacific Ocean.

  • Cyclone Grace (1984) – Cyclone that caused some damage in Australia.
  • Cyclone Grace (2004) – Category 2 (Australian scale) cyclone that briefly threatened New Caledonia, before causing $20 million in damage in Australia, and nearly 30 in. of rainfall.
