The 1992 Atlantic hurricane season was a significantly below average season for overall tropical or subtropical cyclones as only ten formed; however, it became one of the most destructive hurricane seasons ever recorded at the time, mostly due to Hurricane Andrew. Six of them became named tropical storms, and four of those became hurricanes; one hurricane became a major hurricane. The season was, however, near-average in terms of accumulated cyclone energy. The season officially started on June 1 and officially ended on November 30. However, tropical cyclogenesis is possible at any time of the year, as demonstrated by formation in April of an unnamed subtropical storm in the central Atlantic. 7 storms, 4 hurricanes, 1 major hurricanes (Category 3+). Strongest: Andrew (175 mph). Accumulated cyclone energy ≈ 75. Wiki link
