However, a tropical storm did cause “damage and casualties in the Carolinas.”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that the 2025 hurricane season, which ended November 30, was historic in that zero hurricanes made landfall in the United States this year.
“For the first time in a decade, not a single hurricane struck the U.S. this season, and that was a much needed break,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and NOAA Administrator Neil Jacobs.
The administration stated that the Atlantic Basin “produced 13 named storms (winds of 39 mph or greater), of which five became hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or greater), including four major hurricanes with winds reaching 111 mph or greater. An average season has 14 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes.”
Under Secretary Jacobs acknowledged that a tropical storm did cause “damage and casualties in the Carolinas, distant hurricanes created rough ocean waters that caused property damage along the East Coast, and neighboring countries experienced direct hits from hurricanes.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Under Secretary Jacobs as he oversees the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
- For National Hurricane Center and NOAA officials as they assess, track, and report severe weather.
