🌪️🌊 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Recap 🌊🌪️

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season has officially ended. It’s been a year of wild weather, intense storms, and reminders of the power of Mother Nature. From early-season disturbances to late-season hurricanes, we saw it all. Thankfully, many communities were able to prepare and recover quickly thanks to advanced forecasting and the resiliency of millions of Floridians 🙏.

Here’s a look back at the key moments:
• The Atlantic basin saw 18 named storms in 2024 (winds of 39 mph or greater).
• 11 of those were hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or greater).
•5 intensified to major hurricanes (winds of 111 mph or greater.
•5 made landfall in the continental U.S., with two storms making landfall as major hurricanes (Helene and Milton in Florida).
•Hurricane Beryl was the earliest Category-5 hurricane in the Atlantic basin on record.
•Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category-4 storm on the Florida Gulf Coast on September 26. Preliminary reports indicate Helene was the deadliest storm to hit the continental U.S. since Katrina in 2005.
•Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category-3 near Siesta Key, Florida, on October 9 and resulted in a tornado outbreak that produced 46 tornadoes and caused torrential rainfall and localized flooding with total rainfall amounts of 10-15 inches (and higher)

As we enter the off-season, it’s a great reminder to stay prepared, stay informed, and stay safe! 🌬️ Even though Hurricane Season is officially over, many Floridians are still facing uphill battles fighting their insurance companies for fair claim settlements.
