"2013" is not unimportant, but it's a detail they can get from the article. Also, I want to add "worth", per a suggestion by Art LaPella. |

Revision as of 02:18, 26 July 2015
The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was the first since 1968 with no hurricanes of Category 2 or higher. The first storm of the season, Tropical Storm Andrea, developed on June 5, and the last, unnamed, dissipated on December 7. Humberto and Ingrid were the only two hurricanes, the lowest seasonal total since 1982. Andrea killed four people after making landfall in Florida and moving up the U.S. East Coast. In early July, Tropical Storm Chantal moved through the Leeward Islands, causing one fatality, but minimal damage overall. Tropical storms Dorian and Erin and Hurricane Humberto brought only squally weather to the Cape Verde Islands. Mexico, where Hurricane Ingrid, Tropical Depression Eight, and tropical storms Barry and Fernand all made landfall, was the hardest hit; Ingrid alone caused at least 23 deaths and $1.5 billion worth of damage. In early October, Tropical Storm Karen brought showers and gusty winds to the central U.S. Gulf Coast. All major forecasting agencies had predicted an above-average season, but an unexpected weakening of the Gulf Stream and other thermohaline currents prolonged the spring weather pattern over the Atlantic Ocean, suppressing tropical storm formation.
