2017 Atlantic hurricane season (Sassmaster15/Money Hurricane/CobraStrike)

rdfs:comment

The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season became the second-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, only behind 2005 in terms of named storms and hurricanes, but it had more major hurricanes; a record number of eight. With the continued strengthening of the La Niña event from 2016, activity was even higher than the previous season. The season was responsible for 26 tropical cyclones; of which 22 became named storms, 13 became hurricanes, and a record-breaking eight became major hurricanes - a number never before seen in the Atlantic. Most tropical cyclones in this season had devastating effects on land, with the southeastern continental United States and Caribbean Islands taking devastating hits from many of the historic storms.

n34:abstract

The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season became the second-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record, only behind 2005 in terms of named storms and hurricanes, but it had more major hurricanes; a record number of eight. With the continued strengthening of the La Niña event from 2016, activity was even higher than the previous season. The season was responsible for 26 tropical cyclones; of which 22 became named storms, 13 became hurricanes, and a record-breaking eight became major hurricanes - a number never before seen in the Atlantic. Most tropical cyclones in this season had devastating effects on land, with the southeastern continental United States and Caribbean Islands taking devastating hits from many of the historic storms. Due to the intense nature of many of the storms, coupled with the amount of landfalls, the 2017 season became the costliest and one of the deadliest on record. The season also featured Hurricane Rina, the worst storm to impact Texas since Hurricane Ike nine years earlier, and Hurricane Emily, the strongest hurricane ever to occur in the month of July as well as the strongest and most devastating storm ever to make landfall in the U.S. state of South Carolina. In addition, the hurricane was the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall in the United States since Hurricane Charley. Hurricane Rina was also the most intense Atlantic hurricane since 2007's Hurricane Dean, with the storm hitting a pressure of 903 millibars at peak intensity. Hurricane Lee was also the strongest Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic, achieving a central pressure of 912 millibars at peak intensity. Despite being the eleventh most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded, Lee never attained Category 5 status. 2017 also featured the second-highest amount of Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic basin in one season, with that number being three. Hurricane Nate was the first of the three, causing extreme damage across the Greater Antilles and Bahamas as an upper-end Category 4 hurricane. Nate then made landfall in Miami, Florida as a Category 3 major hurricane, compounding the destruction caused by many other tropical cyclones earlier in the season. Hurricane Ophelia formed shortly after Nate and left neglible effects on land, with the exception of Nova Scotia, which received a direct hit from the system whilst it was undergoing an extratropical transition. Hurricane Rina, the strongest storm of the season and the most intense hurricane in the Atlantic since Dean in 2007, later became the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane on record. Rina swept across the Bahamas and Florida as a minimal hurricane prior to undergoing explosive deepening in the Gulf of Mexico. Rina then struck Texas as a Category 4 storm, where it resulted in destruction that surpassed Hurricane Ike. Damages from the storm resulted in it being classified as the second-costliest in Atlantic history.
