The 2024 hurricane season has thankfully ended. Of the 18 named storms that formed, 11 developed into hurricanes, and 5 into major hurricanes. The season was the first since 2019 to have multiple Category 5 hurricanes form in the same season which were Beryl and Milton. Hurricane Beryl made land fall as a Category 1 hurricane near Matagorda on July 8, 2024 before its deadly, damaging winds wreaked havoc on trees and power lines, leaving millions of Texans without electricity for days.
