It's been a long journey, but it appears that the 2019 hurricane season has finally reached its conclusion. From Andrea to Sebastien, we've seen a number of interesting and significant storms. In July, we saw significant and widespread flooding from the unusual Hurricane Barry. In September, Dorian left a long trail of devastation from the hard-hit Bahamas, to the Carolinas, and Atlantic Canada. Humberto proved to be a close call to Bermuda later that month, and was followed by Imelda, which caused record-setting flooding in Texas. Lorenzo shattered records for becoming so intense so far east, and was responsibile for a significant maritime disaster with the sinking of Bourbon Rhode. Finally, Melissa enhanced swells and caused coastal flooding across the Eastern Seabord, while late-season storms Nestor and Olga brought flooding and severe storms to the Gulf Coast.

The 2019 Atlantic hurricane season was very active and certainly rather unusual, and its impacts will be remembered for many years to come. The North Atlantic continues in its period of high activity, and if current model runs are any indication this far in advance, it doesn't appear that this era is ending anytime soon. Assuming the tropics don't play any more tricks on us, it looks like we can finally sign off for the long-lasting 2019 season. I'm looking forward to the 2020 season, and hope that many of you all will still be around to monitor it. Until then!
