2022 Atlantic hurricane season (Prism55)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was an unusually active season, with 29 depressions forming. 26 of these depressions became named storms, 18 became hurricanes, and 7 became majors. This was among the most active Atlantic seasons on record, only topped by the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, which had 31 depressions forming.

The season was very destructive. The storms Fiona, Shary, Tobias and Virginie caused the most damage and deaths of the season.

Hurricane Fiona took the Greater Antilles by surprise, as it was the first major hurricane of the season. Fiona caused widespread damage across the Greater Antilles, before dissipating. A few days later, Hurricane Ian changed from a C2 hurricane to a C5 one in mere hours, before skimming the southernmost tip of Florida and wreaking havoc on the Bahamas, before dissipating back in the Atlantic Ocean. Hurricane Owen was a C5 hurricane that caused widespread damage in the Lesser Antilles. Hurricane Shary was a C5 hurricane that crossed over Mexico, only to turn back and change into a Tropical Storm over Mexico again, before disappearing over the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Tobias was the most destructive and the deadliest hurricane of the season, when it suddenly turned northeast from its consistent east path and made landfall on Florida as a C5, before exiting through the other side and skimming Mississippi and Louisiana with its eye, making landfall in Texas, continuing deep into the state and dissipating. Hurricane Virginie quickly followed Tobias, also striking Florida, but instead traveling northwards deep into the US as a C4 storm, before quickly weakening over Georgia and dissipating over Tennessee.
