The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic hurricane season ever recorded, breaking the record of 2005.[1] The season had a record-breaking 12 storms that hit the U.S., with many making landfall in Louisiana. The season had had thirty-one tropical or subtropical cyclones, thirty named storms, fourteen hurricanes, and seven major hurricanes. It had over twenty tropical storms that broke formation date records. The season happened during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it harder to evacuate and give help to people who needed it.[2][3]
