Includes GoM? Also, might be good to put a note in description that this closes at the beginning of October.

@parhizj Entire Atlantic basin. SATL would also count if majors there were possible

@SaviorofPlant Apparently rarely any storms in October.. (2 storms in last 67 years?)…

@parhizj There is also one hurricane total in the entire history of the basin lol

define “major”. is that category? is that impact on land? is that trajectory?

@mattyb Major refers to a storm at Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale
