Busy, destructive Atlantic hurricane season blows over 2

The Atlantic hurricane season officially ended Sunday, marking the close of the second-most-costly season since 2005, and the fourth-busiest season overall since 1944. This year was "the only year on record in which a major hurricane existed in every month from July through November in the north Atlantic," according to the National Climatic Data Center.

    What Hurricane Season?!?!What? Where? Who?
    There was nothing that could be defined as a "Hurricane" anywhere near the gulf coast.
    Big, blowsy rainstorms were a plenty, but concentrated powerful winds that blow stuff down?  Nope.
    If I were Martin Lawrence meeting a 2008 Hurricane at the door of Big Momma's House, I would say:
    In 2004, you were all clickety-click click, but now you're like Ba-Boom!

    Oh, I don't know,maybe the 8 hurricanes, with 5 being Cat. 3 or higher, constituted the hurricane season of 2008. The more than 800 people who were directly killed by the storms in Haiti weren't Americans...I guess they don't count? And the $44 billion in damages wasn't hurricane related either--the buildings just happened to spontaneously deconstruct as the winds and waves washed over them, right?
    Sorry you missed the hurricane season of 2008.
