Atlantic Hurricane Season Off to Record Start

Posted on July 6, 2005

The 2005 hurricane season is off to the fastest start in recorded history. Four storms have already been recorded and today is only July 6th. The hurricane season doesn't even peak until September. The National Hurricane Center said, "This is the earliest date ever to have four named tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Basic." Tropical Storm Cindy made landfall near New Orleans as a strong tropical storm but hurricane experts are most concerned about Hurricane Dennis which threatens to become a major hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico by this weekend. Dennis is already a Cat 1 hurricane which maximum sustained winds of 80mph. More about the storms can be found on the National Hurricane Center's website.
