The 2018 Extreme Hyperactive Atlantic Hurricane Season is a current event in which storms of tropical origin will form. The season officially began on January 1, 2018, and will end on December 31, 2018. These dates historically describe the period each year when the tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin and are adopted by convention. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at all times of the season. The season's first named storm, Alberto, formed on January 14. The season's first hurricane, Chris, attained hurricane intensity on February 13, and the seasons first major storm, Florence, attained major status on March 7. The season's deadliest storm has been Hurricane Michael, which is simultaneously the strongest storm of the season so far, with 235 deaths and over $189.9 billion in damages in the Caribbean Islands, the costliest storm on record, surpassing both Harvey and Katrina. The season has been very destructive economically, with over $200 billion in damages, the most being ≥ $282.16 billion (2017 USD) in 2017. Most of the damage has been from Hurricane Michael.
