Disclaimer: This season is not based of models of real 1989 Storms. All of these storms are based of my own thought but there is relation in real storms and Force Thirteen's WMHB seasons, but not exact tracks, categories, wind speeds, and pressudre. 

The 1989 Atlantic Hurricane Season is an above-average season, with 18 storms forming. The season officially began on June 1, 1989, and lasted until November 30, 1989.

This season is also known as "Cape Verde Hurricane Year" because there were 8 Cape Verde-type storms, with 5 (Gabrielle, Iris, Jerry, Karen and Marilyn) being major hurricanes. Cosme was an East Pacific hurricane and crossed into Atlantic, and was renamed Barry. There were moderate damage associated with this storm and fatalities were reported near Mexico where Cosme struck. Barry also caused some damage into Texas. Erin caused moderate damage in Texas where Barry struck a month ago.

Gabrielle caused minimal damage in the Caribbean, but before it was forecast to move into Caribbean Sea, and become much stronger, but fortunately, stayed away from land. Iris and Jerry did the same thing but was never forecast to make landfall. Both were strong storms, though. Karen, like Gabrielle, was also forecast to move into Caribbean Sea but stayed away from landmass. however, it was much stronger than the previous storms, and it's outer bands still caused rainfall and heavy winds in Bermuda and Atlantic Canada.

The most notable storm of the season is Marilyn, the most destructive hurricane since Michael of the last year. It hit Delaware-New Jersey boarder as a category 4 hurricane, causing catastrophic damage and the worst since Larry of 1985. It did no effect in the Caribbean, but it caused more than US$46 billion in damage, one of the costliest hurricanes in the Atlantic. Opal caused heavy rainfall in the Caribbean, particularly Haiti. Pablo was also forecast to become stronger once become major hurricane. However, wind shear weakened Pablo. It still caused damage due to it's outer bands affected various landmasses. Also, it also caused damage in Yucatan Peninsula, as a weakening storm but it also regenerated into tropical storm and weakened again. Like Pablo, Roxanne was forecast to be much stronger, but also weakened. It still caused US$203 million in damage, due to being strong and it also affects a populated area. Sebastien was weak hurricane, but also a rare December hurricane and caused damage in Florida.
