2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season (Derpy)

2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season
==== The 2020 Atlantic Hurricane Season was an inactive season with only 6 Tropical Storms and 3 Hurricanes recorded. The season only lasted from mid-June to late-August with Arthur with the first and strongest storm as a Category 1 with a moderate landfall in Southern Florida leaving behind small flooding and slight damage to buildings. No casualties were recorded and only $2,000,000 was needed to repair all the damage caused throughout the season's entirety. ====

Hurricane Arthur
==== On June 15, 2020, a tropical wave was detected by NOAA radar in the open Atlantic 600 miles NE of the Dominican Republic. This wave due to a strong La Nina effect in the Atlantic began to develop into a stronger system and was soon upgraded to a tropical depression  on June 17th and was moving towards South Florida. This tropical depression soon slowed down but still began to organize; circulation was expected by NOAA projections and radar but no rotation was detected. On June 18th, this depression began to circulate and intensify as it neared the Florida Coast; it then became nearly stationary as it was only 150 miles off Florida. Later in the same day, this depression intensified rapidly and wind speeds increased dramatically. NOAA sent a reconnaissance aircraft to determine whether or not this storm was qualified to be a tropical storm and at 1:00 AM EST, on June 19th, this tropical depression was named Tropical Storm Arthur with wind speeds consisting of 65mph. Arthur then strengthened its wind speed in 8 hours and only 90 miles off the Florida peninsula, Arthur became the first Hurricane of the season. With Arthur inching closer to Florida with many projections calling for a massive landfall, the Governor of Florida issued a State of Emergency and the National Weather Service began to issue Tropical Storm Warnings and Hurricane Watches. Arthur began to hit Florida on June 22 but only hit the southern tip of Florida which included Miami. Arthur moved away from Florida leaving behind flooding and slight property damage with a total cost of $1,300,000 but no deaths were reported. After making landfall, wind shear began to dramatically weaken Arthur as it lost wind speed and intensity within the span of 1 and a half days and it lost its Hurricane status and downgraded to a weak Tropical Storm. Arthur then began to stop circulating only making this storm weaker and on June 25th this storm dissipated miles from Cuba. ====
