Hurricane Jose
Hurricane Jose was arguably the deadliest and most damaging storm to ever hit the Florida Panhandle. An area of invest generated from a Tropical Wave, and became TD Ten on October 13, it quickly moved in a northwest fashion, eventually becoming a Tropical Storm and being named Jose. It landed on Florida as a Tropical Storm and quickly moved across. However, when Jose entered the GoM, it slowed down a lot, and underwent rapid intensification. It peaked as a high-end category 1 hurricane, but the pressure continued to drop. It peaked at 959 mbar, which is a normal pressure for a major hurricane. Jose's wind speed did not increase however, and it slowly moved north, dousing the Panhandle, as well as Mississippi in 14 inches or rain (added to the 11 feet of storm surge generated by the storm). It then merged with a storm system over the great lakes, and added tons of moisture to it, dropping over 2 feet of rain in Michigan and surrounding states. Jose then underwent an eyewall replacement cycle, and ballooned in size, reaching peak intensity on October 16. On October 17, Jose finally moved inland on the eastern panhandle and dissolved near Ohio on October 18. Jose caused 954 fatalities and $24.5 billion in damage.

Names
10 names were used, due to the El Nino.
