2016 Atlantic hurricane season (WTF version - Sassmaster15)

The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is the only tropical cyclone season on record to feature all Category 5 hurricanes. The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season is the only tropical cyclone season on record to feature all Category 5 hurricanes. With all fourteen named storms having winds of at least 160 miles per hour, it is the only hurricane season anywhere globally to have all storms become hurricanes, all hurricanes become major hurricanes, and all major hurricanes to peak as a Category 5, the highest categorization for tropical cyclones according to the Saffir-simpson scale. The official dates that conventionally delimit tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic are June 1st to November 30th. However, the first storm, Alex, did not develop until nearly a month in. The season produced the top four most intense Atlantic hurricanes on record, among these was Hurricane Hermine - the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded.

Impact during the season was widespread and calamitous, as every storm impacted land to some degree. Ten of the fourteen storms made landfall as a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher according to the Saffir-simpson scale). Of these, six made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane - making this year the only in history to have such a significant amount of landfalling hurricanes at that intensity.
