The name '''Hortense''' was used for three [[tropical cyclone]]s in the [[Atlantic Ocean]].
*[[1984 Atlantic hurricane season|1984's Hurricane Hortense]] - meandered over [[Bermuda]] as a tropical storm, causing no reported damage.
*[[1990 Atlantic hurricane season|1990's Tropical Storm Hortense]] - formed west of [[Africa]] and headed west, but interaction with [[Hurricane Gustav]] dissipated it.
*[[1996 Atlantic hurricane season|1996's]] '''[[Hurricane Hortense]]''' - passed over [[Guadeloupe]] and [[Puerto Rico]], and grazed the eastern [[Dominican Republic]] and the [[Turks and Caicos Islands]]. 21 were killed and $127 million in damage done to Puerto Rico, and extensive but isolated damage in the Dominican Republic.
The name Hortense was retired after the 1996 season, and was replaced by '''Hanna''' in the 2002 season.
