2019 Atlantic hurricane season (Olo72)

8 The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season  was a hyperactive and catastrophic hurricane season that, with a damage total of at least $252 billion (USD),being a event in the annual formation of tropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere. The season officially began on June 1, 2019, and end on November 30, 2019. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as shown by the formation of Tropical Storm Andrea on May 14, marking the fourth consecutive year in which a storm developed before the official start of the season.

This season is also one of only seven years on record to feature multiple Category 5 hurricanes, and only the third after 2017 to feature two hurricanes making landfall at that intensity. The season also featured both the highest total accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) and the highest number of major hurricanes since 2005. All ten of the season's hurricanes occurred in a row, the greatest number of consecutive hurricanes in the satellite era.In addition, this season is the only season on record in which three hurricanes each had an ACE of over 40.
