User blog:MasterGarf/2018 Atlantic hurricane season review

As the 2018 season comes to a close, I think it may be time to start this blog. The season so far has produced:

- 16 Tropical cyclones

- 15 Tropical storms

- 8 Hurricanes

- 2 Major hurricanes

The season has been above average, but a little on the low-end in terms of storm intensity. Of the eight hurricanes, three peaked as a C1, three peaked as a C2, and two peaked as a C4. This year, i'm introducing a series of categories with which I will use to grade storms. The categories are as follows:

Intensity (How strong did the storm get?)

Duration (How long did the storm last?)

Notability (How unique was the storm?)

Potential (Did it get as strong as it could have?)

Damage (How destructive was it, if at all?)

The storms will be rated on a scale of 0-5, depending on how the storm preformed.
