The destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy has prompted the World Meteorological Organisation to remove the name from a rotating list of storm titles, the UN agency said Friday.
"Sandy" will be replaced by "Sara" after meteorologists decided that the future use of the name could be upsetting.
Sandy tore through the Caribbean before slamming into the east coast of the United States in late October, killing nearly 300 people in the region and resulted in economic losses of more than $75 billion in the United States alone.
