Another Hurricane Record For 2005
(AP)
Last year's Atlantic season just got another hurricane.
Forecasters studying data from July's Tropical Storm Cindy found a pocket of wind hit 75 miles-per-hour, making it a hurricane.
That pushes the 2005 Atlantic hurricane count to 15.
Cindy hit land July fifth, causing an estimated $160 million in insured damage along the Gulf Coast.
Last year's season had already broken records for named storms and hurricanes. The 12 hurricanes in 1969 had been the most since record-keeping started.
The season runs June first through November 30th.
