2022 Atlantic hurricane season (Astro Version)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season hosted the most powerful tropical cyclone on record worldwide, Hurricane Gaston, with a wind speed of 230 mph (370 km/h) and a pressure of 839 mbar. The season produced 17 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. The season officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, though the first storm, Tropical Storm Alex, formed on May 29, 3 days before the start of the official season. Hurricane Bonnie made landfall on the Carolinas at Category 2 intensity and caused dangerous rip currents elsewhere. Hurricane Colin made landfall on the western tip of Cuba as a Category 2 hurricane, and around the Fort Myers area in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane.

The strongest, costliest, and deadliest storm of the season was the previously mentioned Hurricane Gaston. Gaston not only severely affected the Lower Antilles as a major hurricane, but reached record intensities before making landfall on the coast of Georgia, causing unprecedented damage to cities such as Savannah and even Atlanta. Hurricane Ian regenerated and looped before making landfall on Bermuda as a Category 3 hurricane.
