2018 Atlantic hurricane season (Michael0311)

The hypothetical 2017 was the most active in history, shattering nearly every record(excluding earliest formation). A long string of costly, deadly, and powerful hurricanes totaled a damage of $569.3 billion dollars and a death toll of 100,000.

Hurricane Arelene became a record-breaking January Category 5. In April, Bret became a damaging Category 4. May had a lot of activity, with Cindy and Don, both Category 4, merged to create a powerful superstorm, which later affected the U.S. Emily, Franklin, and Gert, all three Category 4, were three consecutive tropical cylones, the first time this happened in May. The same were with June, which had strong Category 5's, Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Katia. Irma broke Patricia's records of 215 mph and 879 mbar with 250 mph and 859 mbar, the most intense tropical cyclone on record.
