2060 Atlantic hurricane season (Misteeer)

The 2060 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season in recorded history, smashing numerous records, especially those set in the 2038 and 2005 hurricane seasons. Its storm caused an estimated 9,872 deaths, making it the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, and caused $1.74 trillion in damage, becoming the costliest Atlantic hurricane season on record and the first ever to cause at least $1 trillion in damages across the basin.

The season's impacts were widespread and catastrophic to a degree that had never been seen before, with many unprecedented events. In August, Hurricane Sam became the first major hurricane on record to make landfall anywhere in Europe, making landfall near Lisbon, Portugal. In September, Hurricane Whitney became the costliest Atlantic hurricane on record, as well as the first Category 5 hurricane on record to make landfall in the Northeastern United States. Later in September, Hurricane Gamma became the furthest north landfalling major hurricane, and Hurricane Epsilon became the northernmost forming hurricane on record when it formed in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The season's most devastating impacts were felt in eastern North America and the northern West Antilles, which experienced up to 7 feet (2 m) of rain from Hurricane Whitney, along with a 40-foot (12 m) storm surge and sustained winds as high as 215 mph (346 km) for several hours, causing flooding hundreds of miles inland and destroying seawalls that had been erected in New York and Boston to combat rising sea levels from encroaching on their cities.

The season officially began on June 1, and ended on November 30, but Tropical Storm Ashley formed on February 7, and Hurricane Upsilon dissipated on January 12. A record 51 tropical depressions formed, along with 42 tropical storms, 30 hurricanes, 18 major hurricanes, and 10 hurricanes reaching or exceeding Category 5 status.
