Which hurricane season interests you the most.

1780-October of 1780 had three storms that claimed over thousands of lives including the Great 1780 Hurricane that claimed 22,000 to 30,000 lives.
1886-Four hurricanes affected Texas, including three making landfall. Florida was also hit by three hurricanes that year. Also, the year of the Indianola Hurricane.
1887-A very active season like 1933, 1995, and 2005. Probably more active than 2005.
1893-High ACE with just 12 storms. I think 1893 had more storms.
1900-Great Galveston Hurricane
1914-One storm was recorded. Sounds too dubious to me.
1916-Another active season. Probably just as active as 1933 and 2005.
1933-21 storms. Possibly more active than 2005.
1961-Carla.
1969-Reminds me of 2004 season because there was El Nino, but very active. Produced Camille.
1977-Almost all the basins from Atlantic, East Pacific, West Pacific, and Southern Hemisphere had below average activity for unknown reasons. I am still trying to find out why it was the case. All I know, we just came off of a weak El Nino, but a rather strong Southern Oscilliation.
1979-Super Typhoon Tip and TS Claudette.
1983-Atlantic and West Pacific was inactive, while East Pacific was hyperactive. We came off of a strong El Nino. Also, Hurricane Alicia made landfall.
1988-Hurricane Gilbert. Got me into weather.
1989-First hurricane season I tracked.
1992-Hurricane Andrew.
1997-Quiet in the Atlantic, while Pacific was hyperactive.
1998-Got hit by Charley and Francis. Also, Georges and Mitch were bad.
1999-Texas first major hurricane since Alicia. Also, very active.
2000-Late starter and very active.
2004-Very active in a short time span and late starter.
2005-No explanation needed.
2007-Two Category 5 hurricanes forming within weeks apart and making landfall as Category 5.
2008-6 storms made landfall back to back in one season. Ike came crashing in onto Texas.

2007 with Dean and Felix was impressive...Dean for one, an early riser and stayed south against climo. Had me on edge for awhile...

1961 started my interest in all things weather.
1983 Alicia will never be forgotten in my mind.
1989 Jerry brought an interesting experience. The eye wall and "eye" was a learning experience.
2005 in the Florida Keys. Dennis, Katrina, Rita and Wilma! Enough said.
2008 Ike. We will not soon forget!
