Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki

The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active season that featured 19 named storms, slightly more than the previous season. The season was the most dangerous since 2005, much like the previous season once again. The hurricane season featured 6 major hurricanes. Although the season was very active, only one Category 5 hurricane formed throughout the season, Isaac, which became the strongest hurricane since Hurricane Wilma of 2005 by pressure. It was also the first storm since Wilma to reach a pressure below 900 millibars. There were three Category 4 hurricanes in the season. Florence, Gordon, and Oscar all reached this strength throughout the season. Hurricanes Florence and Gordon both impacted land. Hurricane Florence struck the Gulf Coast, becoming the second-most damaging storm of the season. Hurricane Gordon struck New England as an extra-tropical cyclone causing extensive damage. Hurricane Oscar remained out to sea as a strong Category 4 hurricane. The other three major hurricanes were Helene, Leslie, and Nadine, which all attained Category 3 hurricane intensity. None of those storms impacted land. The first storm of the season, Alberto, formed out of the season's boundaries on May 14. The final storm of the season was Tropical Storm Tony, which dissipated on November 27.
