Hurricane Lambda

Hurricane Lambda was a destructive Category 4 hurricane that devastated Mexico in late-December 2018. In all, 236 people were killed, along with $56 billion (2018 USD) in damages.

Remnants from multiple storms caused a depression to quickly form in the Gulf. By the 27th, the depression became a Category 2 Lambda.

Intensifying further, Lambda became a Category 4 major hurricane with 150 mph when Southern Texas and Northern Mexico was hit.

Due to large storm surges and flooding, 236 died and $56 billion in damages. Quickly weakening inland, Lambda became a remnant low on December 29th and dissipated 2 hours before 2019.

Lambda killed 236 and caused $56 billion in damages. Due to it's intensity, fatality rate, and economic losses, Lambda was retired from hurricane name usage, but was not replaced with a name due to being a Greek origin name.
