2010 Atlantic hurricane season (Re-creation - Sassmaster15)

rdfs:comment

The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season was a highly active year of tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic Ocean. Second all time to 2005, this season featured the most hurricanes alongside 2005 and the most major hurricanes alongside 2005 and 1961. In addition, the 2010 season was the second known occurrence in which an Atlantic hurricane season was more active than the West Pacific - the only known occurrence prior to this was 2005. Another significant occurrence was the appearance of a Category 5 hurricane - Hurricane Karl, the first Category 5 Atlantic hurricane since 2007's Hurricane Felix. This season also had the most Category 4 hurricanes on record - at least six tropical cyclones attained Category 4 status at least once, beating the record of five held by both the 1999 and 20

n29:abstract

The 2010 Atlantic hurricane season was a highly active year of tropical cyclone formation in the North Atlantic Ocean. Second all time to 2005, this season featured the most hurricanes alongside 2005 and the most major hurricanes alongside 2005 and 1961. In addition, the 2010 season was the second known occurrence in which an Atlantic hurricane season was more active than the West Pacific - the only known occurrence prior to this was 2005. Another significant occurrence was the appearance of a Category 5 hurricane - Hurricane Karl, the first Category 5 Atlantic hurricane since 2007's Hurricane Felix. This season also had the most Category 4 hurricanes on record - at least six tropical cyclones attained Category 4 status at least once, beating the record of five held by both the 1999 and 2005 seasons. Having been the second-most active on record, the main list of names was exhausted after the use of "Walter". As such, one letter in the Greek alphabet required use, respectively. A series of records were either set or broken this year. Hurricane Alex was the first major hurricane in the month of June since Hurricane Audrey of 1957, as well as the most intense. Hurricane Karl was the first Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic since 2007, and, respectively, was the strongest this year. Hurricane Lisa was also the easternmost major hurricane on record - peaking with winds of 140 miles per hour just 160 miles west of Cape Verde. Its remnants were also the first tropical cyclone-related phenomenon to affect the Canary Islands since 2005's Tropical Storm Delta. Hurricane Matthew became the strongest and only major hurricane in the Bay of Campeche - attaining Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. In addition, Matthew is the most destructive as well as strongest hurricane to strike the Mexican state of Veracruz on record. Hurricane Richard made an unprecedented northeasterly track across the subtropical Atlantic - and retained tropical characteristics at an unusually high latitude north of the Azores. Meanwhile, Hurricane Virginie and Walter are the second known uses of their respective letters in the Atlantic alongside 2005. Hurricane Walter was also the strongest November hurricane of the satellite era, and the second-strongest in the month, with only the 1932 Cuba hurricane being stronger. This season had eight Cape Verde hurricanes, six of which were majors - making it the highest all-time total within an Atlantic hurricane season. Active due to a newly-developed strong La Niña in the East Pacific, the season remained largely active throughout July until early November. Despite a late start, with the formation of the season's first named storm, Alex, not occurring until the latter half of June, activity spiked in late August with a continuous run of Cape Verde-type hurricanes - intense activity not subsiding until mid-November. Impact was widespread - with several hurricanes causing major damage throughout Mexico, Central America, and the Leeward Islands - with the Yucatán Peninsula experiencing the worst of damages. The United States Gulf Coast and Florida sustained moderate damage after a series of relatively weak tropical storms struck these areas, though Hurricane Julia caused millions of dollars in damage upon making landfall in Texas. Bermuda also sustained moderate damage upon entering the western eyewall of Category 2 Hurricane Karl. Fear of a catastrophic landfall along the United States East Coast was insinuated by Hurricane Gaston, which threatened to strike as a Category 4 hurricane but instead turned northward and struck Nova Scotia as a minimal hurricane. Newfoundland was also struck by Hurricane Karl as a hurricane-strength extratropical cyclone as it passed to the east. The final location impacted by this season's storms were was Cape Verde - which experienced a direct hit by then Tropical Storm Lisa, as well as Tropical Storm Nicole and the precursor to Hurricane Karl.
