https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Atlantic_hurricane_season
The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season is the ongoing Atlantic hurricane season, which is part of the annual tropical cyclone season in the northern hemisphere. As anticipated,[1] the season has had above-average tropical cyclone activity.[nb 2] To date (October 10), the season has produced 20 named storms, tying it with 1933 as the third-most active Atlantic hurricane season on record.[3] The storms combined have caused just under an estimated $70 billion in damages, making 2021 the fourth-costliest Atlantic hurricane season on record.
As of September 29, the season has produced 20 tropical or subtropical cyclones, all of which have become a named storm. Among them, seven became hurricanes, and four further intensified into major hurricanes.[nb 2] The season's most devastating storm to date was Hurricane Ida. It made landfall in Louisiana with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h), destroying coastal communities in its path; parts of the New Orleans metropolitan area were left without power for several weeks.[6] The storm caused an estimated $64.5 billion (2021 USD) in damages and resulted in at least 95 deaths.[7] Over half of those deaths occurred in New York and New Jersey, as the hurricane's remnants brought rains that triggered widespread flooding throughout that region.[6] Rains from its predecessor tropical wave also caused damaging floods and landslides across Venezuela, resulting in at least 20 deaths.[8]
