List of storms named Maria
The name Maria has been used for seven tropical cyclones worldwide, three in the Atlantic Ocean and four in the Western Pacific Ocean.
In the Atlantic Ocean:
- Hurricane Maria (2005), a Category 3 hurricane that did not affect any land area as a tropical cyclone.
- Hurricane Maria (2011), a Category 1 hurricane that formed in the eastern Atlantic, made landfall on Newfoundland, causing minor damage.
- Hurricane Maria (2017), an extremely powerful hurricane that made landfall in the island of Dominica at Category 5 intensity, and later brushed through St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands before making landfall in Puerto Rico as a high-end Category 4 hurricane where devastation and a humanitarian crisis occurred.
