The 2016 Great Lakes hurricane season was a relatively active season with several powerful major hurricanes. The most destructive, Flag and Liberty, were also the strongest hurricanes of the season. The activity is attributed to a lack of wind shear and dry air and an abundance of warm water in the lakes. The amount of land reduces the activity to below where it otherwise would have been. Liberty was the only storm to move out of the basin, devastating New York City as a Category 5 after its remnants moved into the Atlantic and regenerated.
