	Weather Doctor's Weather History 2005: A Record Atlantic Hurricane Season
		With the official ending of the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season on November 30th, residents of the Atlantic basin, which includes the Carribean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, are breathing a sigh of relief and hopes that the season is actually over.
		The only previous end-of-year storm was Hurricane Alice which became both the latest and the earliest hurricane on record in the Atlantic when it became a hurricane on December 31, 1954 and battered the Leeward Islands with winds of 85 mph (136 km/h) on January 1, 1955.
		The season fell ten days short for the most "named-storm" days (136 in 1933.) There were eight landfalling hurricane in 2005, one fewer than in 1933 and thirteen landfalling tropical storms (record 17 in 1933).
