The 1995 Atlantic hurricane season was a highly active year that produced twenty-one tropical cyclones, nineteen named storms, as well as eleven hurricanes and five major hurricanes. The season officially began on June 1, 1995, and ended on November 30, 1995, dates which conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones develop in the Atlantic basin. The first tropical cyclone, Hurricane Allison, developed on June 2, while the season's final storm, Hurricane Tanya, dissipated on November 3.
Totaling to $10.2 billion [en.wikipedia.org US Dollar] in damage and over 100 deaths, there were four destructive and notable hurricanes during the season: Luis, Marilyn, Opal and Roxanne. Hurricanes Luis and Marilyn, caused catastrophic damages in the Leeward Islands and Virgin Islands, were also the first and worst hurricanes to affect the regions since Hurricane Hugo. Opal, the strongest and most intense storm of the season, caused significant damage along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Roxanne, a rare late-season major hurricane, caused significant damage when it made landfall in Quintana Roo. There were also some significant hurricanes such as Hurricane Erin, which caused substantial damage in Florida. Felix caused heavy beach erosion in the northeast United States, and produced strong waves that drowned eight and Hurricane Iris that, before Luis and Marilyn, caused some moderate flood damages in the Lesser Antilles.
At the time, only one Atlantic hurricane season, 1933 surpassed the season's total storms making the season the second most active in recorded history tying with 1887. It is now the third most active season alongside 2010, 2011, and 2012.
The following names were retired by the [en.wikipedia.org World Meteorological Organization] (WMO), due to the deaths and damages caused during their active phases. These names were Luis, Marilyn, Opal, and Roxanne - which were replaced with Lorenzo, Melissa, Olga and Rebekah for the 2001 Atlantic Hurricane Season
