Too Much of a Bad Thing
The 2005 Hurricane Season is officially the worst on record.
There were 3 Tropical Depressions, 12 Tropical Storms, and 14 Hurricanes. A total of 26 named storms is a record, 14 hurricanes is a record, 3 category 5 hurricanes [Katrina, Rita, Wilma] is a record, and hurricane Wilma established the new record for the lowest barometric pressure recorded in the Atlantic Basin at 882 millibars.
Hurricane Epsilon is still spinning out in the Atlantic, but it doesn’t seem to be threatening land.
It is to be hoped that all of these records are unmatched for a very long time.
