The 1933 North Atlantic hurricane season is the most active season on record in terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy with a total of 259. It also set a record for the number of named tropical cyclones in a single season, twenty, which stood until 2005, when there were twenty-eight. The season ran from May 1933, with tropical cyclone development occurring as early as May and as late as November. The system was active for all but thirteen days from June 28 to October 7.There were also eleven hurricanes, including six major (Category 3 or higher) hurricanes. In addition, two Category 3 hurricanes made landfall in The Bahamas all within one month of each other: the Great Treasure Coast Hurricane in the northwest, central, and southeast Bahamas, followed by the Category 5 Great Cuba-Brownsville Hurricane in the northwest Bahamas.
This book examines the large-scale impact this storm season had on the Bahamas and the effect it continues to have today.
