The Atlantic hurricane season officially ended at midnight Wednesday. That does not mean that a tropical system is out of the question; there has been a tropical storm recorded every month except February.
The 2011 season was the third most active in recorded history, with 19 named storms — including seven hurricanes. Hurricane Irene caused more than $10 million in damage from the Caribbean to the Bahamas to the northeastern U.S. Along the Gulf Coast, our only taste of tropical weather this season was rain from Tropical Storm Lee.
The following video from NOAA shows the entire 2001 Atlantic hurricane season in just 4.5 minutes.
