Cletus ,Why mention Sandy when you admit it was a tropical storm(which surfed in on high tide) on the topic of hurricanes?
2005 was the record setter in the Atlantic ,at least during the satellite era , not 2015 ,beating out 1969 , which was tied with 2010.Did you miss it here?To much kool-aid these days?

But do not worry , 1971 is still the record holder for total storms ,and 1992 ,for ca.t 3 and higher , during the satellite era.
In spite of all that nasty CO2 we emitted.....lol.
