A couple of storms of note for the states, but nothing near the gloom and doom predicted earlier in the season.

The good news is that only one major hurricane hit land

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]
