As if 2020 wasn’t turbulent enough, the cursed year has set historical records in the number of hurricanes, tropical storms, and typhoons. By November, 29 storms, 12 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes have hit North America and the Carribbean—causing 320 fatalities and innumerable infrastructure damages. The last time the US faced a similar hurricane season was in 2005.
