Hurricane Season’s Parade of Storms
It’s hard to match the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, but 2021 sure did its best. The most devastating storm of this year was Hurricane Ida, which brought deadly flooding to the Gulf Coast and Northeast, and even reversed the course of the Mississippi River. But the season spit out plenty of other storms and was more active than average—this despite the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration updating its “average” season to include more storms based off the past 10 years of data. You can see all those storms (minus late season Tropical Storm Wanda) in the animation above from NASA.
