2023 Atlantic hurricane season (Sutowe12's version)

The 2023 Atlantic hurricane season was the most destructive and intense hurricane season on record in the Atlantic Basin.

Seasonal forecasts
In 2022, NOAA saw that year's season, not as active, but yet costly. In that season, 4 storms struck the United States, either as a tropical storm, hurricane or major hurricane. This lead to a very likely theory that this may occur again for 2023, as it did in previous years.

Season summary
The record breaking year of 2023 saw 30 named storms, 17 hurricanes, and 8 major hurricanes (highest since 1950).

Atlantic Hurricane Names
Due to the amount of damages and deaths caused, the names "Iron", "Jemima", "Mike", "Owen", "Sonya", and "Weston" were removed from List 4 of the rotating cyclones lists. The names were with Ignatius, Jordon, Matt, Oden, Shannon and Wilson. However, the names Grant and Nia, were not retired. The reason for this was for lack of discussion toward the names. As well, the name Kenny was also not retired because at the World Meteorological Organization, the committee of Haiti and Dominican Republic had mentioned the storm, Grant, to those at the organization. However, the name was dropped and was never mentioned again during the meeting.

Greek Hurricane Names
Hurricanes Beta and Zeta caused a lot of damage and caused some deaths, and formed at a high hurricane strength at a certin time, they cannot be retired or replaced by another name. However, the Greek Alphabet can be changed to the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, on certain occasions, (i.e. Zeta=Foxtrot). This is a very rare occurance for a storm not to be retired from the cause of deaths and damage, especially one who is a very strong hurricane, (Hurricane Zeta> a rare example of a Category 5 hurricane to not be retired).

Season effects
The following table lists all of the storms that have formed in the 2023 Atlantic hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s) (in parentheses), damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a wave, or a low, and all of the damage figures are in 2023 USD.
