The end of November also marks the end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This year's season was active with a total of 19 named storms. Out of those, 10 became hurricanes with one (Michael) strengthening further into a major hurricane. This season was the second consecutive year that the mid-Atlantic and Northeast suffered devastating impacts from a named storm (Sandy this year; Irene in 2011). This was also the seventh straight year that the United States avoided a direct hit from a major hurricane.
