Nadine and Kristy

The May duo of Tropical Storm Alberto and Tropical Storm Beryl, followed by the bizarre Hurricane Chris and Florida's drought-quenching Tropical Storm Debby, put us well ahead of the pace. Later, Hurricane Ernesto,Tropical Storm Florence, Hurricane Gordon and Tropical Storm Helene added to the total.

Hurricane Isaac was the first hurricane to make landfall on the U.S. mainland in 2012. Joyce and Kirk were no threat to land. The most recent named storms have been Leslie, Michael, and Nadine. Michael was the first major hurricane of the season.
