2005 ROBLOX hurricane season

he 2005 ROBLOX Atlantic Hurricane Season was the deadliest, costliest and most active season on record, with 29 storms, 18 hurricanes, and 12 majors, 6 of them C5s and leaving a trail of 250 billion ROBUX in damage. Many storms stayed out at sea.

Six of the season's storms became a Category 5 hurricane, the highest ranking on the scale. Hurricane Dennis in July reached peak intensity in the Gulf of Bloxico, later causing catastrophic damage in Lousiana. In August, Floyd reached peak winds in the ROBLOX Sea. However, Floyd restrengthened into a Category 5 in the Pacific. The most devastating effects of the season were felt in Nicaragua, where Floyd's winds crippled, for weeks and devastated Bloxico's coastline. Irene followed in September, reaching peak intensity in the open Atlantic and the Gulf of Bloxico before weakening and hitting Louisiana. Rita and Stan followed after and became Category 5 monsters. The season's strongest hurricane, Vince, became the second most intense Atlantic hurricane on record, as measured by barometric pressure.

The season's impact was widespread and catastrophic. Its storms caused an estimated 1 million deaths and approximately $250 billion in damage. It was the costliest season on record. It also produced the highest accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the Atlantic basin. The season officially began on June 1, 2005, and the first storm – Arlene – developed on June 4. Hurricane Dennis in July inflicted heavy damage to Cuba and the ROBLOX States. Hurricane Rita in September was part of a broader weather system that killed 168 people and caused $14.3 billion in damage to much of the gulf coast with the Florida Panhandle hit the hardest. The final storm – Eta – formed after Christmas and dissipated a few days later.

Seasonal forecasts
Ahead of the formal start of the season, various groups issued forecasts for the number of named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes in the upcoming season, including Colorado State University (CSU), the Cuban Institute of Meteorology (InsMet), Tropical Storm Risk (TSR), and the ROBLOX States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Some forecasts predicted how many tropical cyclones would affect a particular country or territory.

The first of these forecasts was issued by CSU, which predicted on December 5, 2004 that the season would be above average and feature 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 intense hurricanes.[3] They also noted that the Caribbean and the entire ROBLOX States coastline faced an increased risk of a major hurricane making landfall. TSR issued its first forecast a few days later and predicted that the season would feature 9.6 tropical storms, 5.7 hurricanes, 3.3 major hurricanes, and predicted that the accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating would be 145.

During January 2005, TSR increased its forecast to 13.9 tropical storms, 7.8 hurricanes, 3.6 major hurricanes, and predicted that the ACE rating would be 157. CSU issued its first updated forecast on April 1, increasing their prediction to 13 tropical storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes, with a continued risk of a major hurricane landfall in the Caribbean or United States. The increase was based on the Atlantic continuing to warm and a strong belief that El Niño conditions would not persist into the hurricane season. On May 2, the Cuban Institute of Meteorology (InsMet) issued their seasonal forecast, which predicted that the season would feature 13 tropical storms and 7 hurricanes. This was followed on May 16 by NOAA, who predicted a 70% chance of above normal activity, with 12–15 tropical storms, 7–9 hurricanes, and 3–5 major hurricanes. CSU issued its second forecast update on May 31, revising its forecast to 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes; by this point, the group believed El Niño conditions were unlikely.

In their July forecast update, TSR anticipated that the season would be exceptionally active and well above average; the group increased their forecast to 15.3 tropical storms, 8.8 hurricanes, and 4.1 major hurricanes, with an ACE rating of 190. By the end of July, seven tropical storms and two major hurricanes had developed within the basin, which prompted CSU, InsMet, NOAA and TSR to significantly increase their seasonal forecasts at the start of August. In their August 5 update, CSU predicted that 13 more storms would form, with seven more hurricanes and three more major hurricanes. At the start of September, CSU updated their forecasts and predicted that eight more storms would form, with six more hurricanes and three major hurricanes. By the end of September, 17 named storms had developed, of which nine had developed into hurricanes and four had become major hurricanes. Within their final update for the year, CSU predicted that October would feature three named storms, two hurricanes and one major hurricane.
