Hurricane Season is officially over. The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season ended Monday – it was one of the milder seasons in recent years. There were nine named storms during the six-month season that began in June. That included three hurricanes, two of which were considered major, with winds at more than 110 mph. Five named storms dissipated over the open ocean this year causing no damage to land. Forecasters say hurricane activity this year was reduced largely due to a moderate El Nino event that generated significantly stronger-than-average vertical wind shear, especially in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.
