Hurricane Danny
The name Danny has been used for six tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean. The name replaced David which was retired after the 1979 season:
- Hurricane Danny (1985), caused widespread flooding in Louisiana, killing 3 and causing $12 million in damage
- Tropical Storm Danny (1991), formed near Cape Verde islands but dissipated before threatening land
- Hurricane Danny (1997), struck Louisiana and Alabama; tracked across the southeastern United States and ultimately affected parts of New England with rain and wind; killed nine and caused $100 million in damage (1997 USD)
- Hurricane Danny (2003), looped in open ocean, never threatened land
- Tropical Storm Danny (2009), formed as a tropical storm east of the Bahamas, skipping depression status; later absorbed by a frontal system off the US east coast
- Hurricane Danny (2015), a small category 3 hurricane that approached the Leeward Islands but dissipated before threatening land
