Well tonight, if you were traumatized and taxed by Hurricane Earl, you can breathe a slight sight of relief tonight, because the 2016 hurricane season is over. It was an above average year with a total of fifteen named storms, seven of those became hurricanes, and three of them reached major hurricane status, meaning category three or higher.

Hurricane Earl was a Category one storm which made landfall in Belize on the night and early morning August 3rd and fourth. The storm didn't cause any deaths in Belize, but it caused major flooding and residential damage in the Belize district, while destroying crops in the north and south. The estimate of total damages was close to 200 million dollars.
