The 2010 hurricane season in the north Atlantic has come and gone. Although, the US was hardly touched by this year’s storms, it turns out that 2010 was one of the busiest hurricane seasons on record. There were 19 named storms, tied for the third highest on record (1887 and 1995). Of these, 12 became hurricanes, and five reached major hurricane status of Category 3 or higher.
