We are now in our final month of hurricane season. The 2014 hurricane season so far has caused no problems for Tampa Bay. Here’s a recap of the season through October. 

Do you remember all these storms or are there a few you have already forgotten?

Tropical Depression 1 formed east of Florida on the evening of June 30. It became Arthur, the first named storm of the season. During the early morning of the Fourth of July, Hurricane Arthur moved over North Carolina as a Category 2 hurricane. Winds were 100 mph. Post-tropical Arthur then moved over Southeastern Canada with strong winds and heavy rain on July 5.

Tropical Depression 2 formed in the Central Atlantic Ocean on July 21 but never became a named storm.

Tropical Storm Bertha formed east of the southern Lesser Antilles late July 31. It became a hurricane on Monday, August 4 then took a path between the United States and Bermuda.

Cristobal became a hurricane on Monday, Aug. 25 in the Atlantic Ocean. It passed north of Puerto Rico then between Bermuda and Cape Hatteras.
