List of storms named Janet
(Redirected from Cyclone Janet)
The name Janet has been used for two tropical cyclones worldwide: one in the Atlantic Ocean and one in the Australian region.
In the Atlantic:
- Hurricane Janet (1955) – a Category 5 hurricane that became one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record; caused at least 1,023 deaths and $65.8 million (1955 USD) in damages.
