2075 Atlantic Hurricane Season

The 2075 was predicted to be a "more active than average" year when the University of Colorado released their annual predictions on what to expect in the North Atlantic basin. However, this season proved to be a bit more than everyone bargained for. Littered with landfalling hurricanes, this season's effect on humanity was costly, even with significant technological advances in forecasting and architecture. The first storm, Andrea, was rather tame as it spun off the coast of Florida before racing off to sea not even obtaining full tropical characteristics nor even surviving a week. Hurricane Blaine really set the tone for the rest of the season. Forming in the western Caribbean on May 29th, it rapidly intensified while practically not moving and slammed into the Yucatan Peninsula as a major hurricane causing major damage mostly due to flooding in Mexico. Our first category 5 hurricane of the season, Ivy, while a fish storm at it's peak, slammed into Nova Scotia as a high end category 2 hurricane causing significant damage. This storm was promptly over shadowed by Hurricane James, which became the strongest hurricane by pressure in the western hemisphere and tying the long-standing record by Typhoon Tip which occurred in the 1970's. It also had the strongest wind speeds ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. Unfortunately, James made landfall in Cuba as a 200 mph storm causing unbelievable damage to the nation. James wasn't done though. It quickly recovered as it traverse over the steamy waters of the Gulf of Mexico making its second landfall as a category 5 storm with 170 mph winds at North Padre Island, Texas. Once again, the damage was catastrophic. Hurricane James lead the season in both cost of damages and fatalities. After James, there was a 3-week lull in tropical activity. Hurricane Kemberly got things started again in the beginning of September and so began the train of storms until the final storm, Tropical Storm Delta, dissipated in Southern Caribbean on December 21, 2075, the winter solstice. 2075 had an incredible hurricane season with three category 5's and four category 4's throughout the season. A total of 27 tropical (or subtropical) depressions, 25 named storms, 17 of which became hurricanes, along with 8 of those hurricanes to be a category 3 or stronger encompassed the entirety of the season.
