Storm names The following names were used for tropical storms that formed in the North Pacific Ocean east of 140°W during 1963. The names came from a series of four rotating lists. Names were used one after the other without regard to year, and when the bottom of one list was reached, the next named storm received the name at the top of the next list.http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/2008/summ0711a.htm Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary: November 2007 First Installment Gary Padgett July 11, 2008 Australian Severe Weather February 10, 2010 Emily Florence Glenda Hazel Irah Jennifer Katherine Lillian Mona Had any tropical storms formed in the North Pacific between 140°W and the International Date Line in 1963, their names would have been drawn from the Western Pacific typhoon naming list.
