2022 Atlantic hurricane season (Monsoonjr99)

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was an above average season of Atlantic tropical cyclone formation. The season officially began on June 1, 2022 and ended on November 30, 2022, but tropical activity can occur outside of those bounds. 2022 did not feature any off-season activity. The season notably featured several destructive storms. Earl struck Belize in August as a high-end category 4 hurricane causing catastrophic damage in San Pedro. Gaston hit North Carolina as a category 3, wreaking havoc with storm surge on the outer banks and heavy rainfall inland. Julia caused severe damage across Martinique due to rain and storm surge, then struck the Dominican Republic and killed over 500 people in Haiti. Lisa thrashed Cuba as a high-end category 4 hurricane in October, then hit Florida as a category 3 causing severe storm surge flooding in Miami.
