Of these tropical storms, 8 grew into hurricanes, of which 4 became major hurricanes. The season is notable for five storms in particular: Hurricanes Bonnie, Edward, Gordon, and Nina, as well as Tropical Storm Patsy. In early August, Hurricane Bonnie became the first hurricane, and the first major hurricane, of the season. It weakened to a Category 2 hurricane just as it began impacting the southern Bahamas. Then Bonnie hit the Florida Keys as a low-end major hurricane, but hit the Dry Tortugas, which are uninhabited, meaning that no one was directly hit by major hurricane-force winds. After that, Bonnie hit the extreme western Florida panhandle as a strong Category 1 hurricane before dissipating. Damages totaled to $100 million (1980 USD), and 17 people were killed. Bonnie was the only storm of the season to hit the United States as a major hurricane. Later that month, Hurricane Edward roared through the same areas in the Bahamas that Bonnie hit, only Edward was much stronger: while Bonnie was a Category 2 hurricane at this point in time, Edward was a Category 4. Just when it looked like Edward would hit Miami, Florida, directly as a high-end Category 4 or even a low-end Category 5, Edward stopped in its tracks, weakened, and headed to the northeast, striking the Grand Bahama as a Category 3 hurricane. Although damage was locally immense, totaling to $200 million (1980 USD), it could have been much worse; had Edward obeyed forecasts and slammed into Miami, Florida, damages would have had the potential to soar above $150 billion when adjusted for inflation, and then Edward would potentially caused another $35 billion (again, adjusted for inflation) upon its predicted landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane. Luckily, the entire season was little more than a tenth as damaging, and the scenario was 354 times as damaging (I did the math) than what really happened. Hurricane Gordon was by far the worst storm of the season. The only Category 5 hurricane of the season, Gordon's 190 mph winds literally screamed entire communities, villages, and forests apart as the hurricane tore through Cozumel and the Yucatan Peninsula. Damages soared to $5.5 billion (1980 USD; $14.4 billion (2008 USD)), making Gordon the costliest storm of the season and the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane on record at the time, as well as the most destructive hurricane Mexico has ever seen on Planet Ceres. On top of the massive damage, Gordon killed over 600 people, and made September 13, 1980, a day survivors will never forget. Up next was Hurricane Nina. A rare November major hurricane, Nina peaked as a low-end Category 4 hurricane before slowly trekking across Haiti at Category 3 strength. Nina then took a truly bizarre path that took it through the Bahamas and Florida, southward toward the Yucatan Peninsula, followed by an eastward drift toward western Cuba, and then charging northwestward into Texas as a Category 2 hurricane. Over all, Nina was the deadliest storm of the season, killing more than 1,200 people, and possibly upwards of 1,700 to 1,800. Nina was also the second-most destructive storm of the season, causing $1.1 billion (1980 USD; $2.9 billion (2008 USD)) in damage. Also, while it didn't affect land, Tropical Storm Patsy made 1980 the second year in a row to have a December storm in the Atlantic basin, the first occurrence in over 75 years. Had Patsy been a hurricane, like it nearly was, this would have been the first occurrence in nearly twice as long."@en . "Hurricane Jeanne"@en . . "Hurricane Gordon"@en . "tropical storm"@en .
