Retirement[]

The storm caused no deaths or damage, so it remains on the list due the rarity of any season reaching the W name and storms forming in Late December and becoming hurricanes and lasting into the next year. This event won`t happen for another decade or years. The name "Walter" won`t be used for years and might be the last original W name on any list for names, while the names Wendy/Whitney will be the last female W name.
