Hurricane Betsy — the second storm of the year — hit New Orleans on September 9, 1965. Katrina — the 11th storm — hit New Orleans August 29th, 2005. And now we apparently have Category 5 storms forming in late June/early July.
Every hurricane season (and hurricane) is different, obviously, and that’s one city’s experience but it makes me wonder if there will even be a distinct “hurricane season” in a few decades.
