2001 Atlantic hurricane season (Nova)

The 2001 Atlantic hurricane season was a below-average season. Unlike the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season, this season was much more inactive, though deadly and destructive. The 2001 Atlantic hurricane season featured 19 depressions, 13 storms, 6 hurricanes and 2 major hurricanes.

2 of the major hurricanes— Hugo and Marilyn, were both retired due to their impacts on land and deaths. Luis, one of the storms that reached hurricane intensity, was also retired after causing a RO-RO ship to sink near Bermuda.
