Six category 4 hurricanes happened, and four category 5 hurricanes occurred. The name's that were retired were Emilia, Fregley, Gilma, Hugo, Iris, Pallet, and Emily. The most damaging system was hurricane Gilma, which devastated Nicaragua and killed 136,821, worse than the 1991 Bangladesh Cyclone. Fregley wreaked havoc in Haiti when it made landfall and killed several people and destroyed the Parliament buildings until the whole area lay like a tomb. Hugo hit Savannah as a category 5 hurricane and remained a category 5 when it passed over Atlanta, where it destroyed 99 percent of the buildings, including all the stadiums and the renowned school Westminister. The only structure to survive Hugo was Woodward Academy and Chastain Park, which were devastated by the rainfall. Pallet turned toward Africa while a category 5 and hit Lagos, killing 259,365. Lagos was completely inhabitable after Pallet and was not rebuilt since Pallet hit, and the capital city is now another city known as Loun-Ariik. Emily did not make landfall but was retired when the cyclone reached category 5 intensity only 25 miles east of Nova Scotia, a record.Hurricane Anita

An area of low pressure developed a circulation on June 2 at 1800 UTC. The storm intensified into a hurricane by June 4, which was headed toward Nicaragua.
