The name Ismael was used for three tropical cyclones in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean:

  • Hurricane Ismael (1983), traveled generally northward
  • Hurricane Ismael (1989), brought heavy rain to Acapulco
  • 1995's Hurricane Ismael, caused over 100 fatalities in Mexico

    • The name Ismael was retired in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean after the 1995 season and was replaced with Israel. During the 2001 season, a reporter stationed in Israel felt offense from the name choice, and the president of the Anti-Defamation League felt it was insensitive. As such the name Israel was replaced with Ivo.
