2007 Atlantic hurricane season (Re-creation - Sassmaster15)

The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season since 2005. Overall, the season produced 20 tropical cyclones, with 17 attaining tropical storm status, 9 attaining hurricane intensity, and four attaining major hurricane intensity. The season, per convention, officially starts June 1 and ends November 30 - as these pre-defined dates typically delimit tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic basin. However, as demonstrated by the atypical formations of Subtropical Storm Andrea in early May and Tropical Storm Pablo in December, tropical cyclone formation is possible any time of the year. Additionally, with these two occurrences, 2007 became the first since 2003 to feature both pre- and post-season activity. The most significant storm of the season, Hurricane Dean, is tied with Hurricane Camille for the sixth-most intense Atlantic hurricane on record, and is ranked as the third-strongest landfalling Atlantic hurricane. In addition, the 2007 season is only one of five on record with more than one Category 5 storm. The season, in combination with 1992, is the second known occurrence of an Atlantic hurricane, Felix, and a Pacific hurricane, Henriette, making landfall on the same day.
