November 30 marks the end of the Atlantic Tropical Season, one of our biggest weather-makers in the summer months. This year was a strange one, with a long period of no activity at all from the beginning of July through a good part of August. In spite of that, however, we saw a lot of destruction in the Southeast from Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. Just a reminder that even in an inactive season (which this was not), it only takes one to cause immense damage. Here are a couple of articles that describe the season in a lot more detail:
