"As of early September 2025, the Atlantic hurricane season is tracking close to average, with six named storms, including one hurricane (Erin), which intensified into a Category 5. The major hurricane eventually dissipated offshore. Tropical Storms Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dexter, Erin, and Fernand have formed, with Chantal causing notable flooding after landfall in South Carolina, and Barry producing deadly floods in Mexico and contributing to flooding in Texas."
"Hurricanes are deadly forces of nature, capable of ripping houses apart due to high wind speeds. The flooding associated with these storms can be catastrophic. Each year, an average of six or seven hurricanes form in the North Atlantic, with roughly two hitting the United States. Hurricanes are the most expensive natural disasters. Damages due to these storms have amounted to 1.3 trillion since 1980."
