1991TCs

1991TCs, also known as the 1991 Tropical Cyclones, was a notable season in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. The season began on June 1, 1991, and ended on November 30, 1991. It was characterized by a relatively low number of named storms compared to other seasons, but it did include several significant events.

The season started with Tropical Storm Ana on June 29, 1991. Ana formed in the Atlantic Ocean and made landfall in North Carolina, causing minimal damage. The season's first hurricane, Bob, formed on August 12 and reached Category 2 strength. Bob caused significant flooding in the Mid-Atlantic region, resulting in several deaths and extensive property damage.

Hurricane Claudette, the second hurricane of the season, formed on August 15 and made landfall in Louisiana. Claudette brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to the Gulf Coast, causing moderate damage. The season's third and final hurricane, Danny, formed on August 28 and dissipated over the open Atlantic without making landfall.

The 1991TCs season was relatively quiet compared to other seasons, with only three named storms reaching hurricane strength. However, the season did include several significant events, including the flooding caused by Hurricane Bob and the damage caused by Hurricane Claudette. The season's low activity was attributed to the presence of El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean, which can suppress Atlantic hurricane activity.
