<i> Associated Press</i>
MIAMI —
The 1989 hurricane season, marked by the costliest storm in U.S. history, Hurricane Hugo, officially ended Thursday with another tropical storm forming in the Caribbean.
Tropical Storm Karen, located southwest of Cuba and with highest sustained winds of 55 m.p.h., was not expected to bring significant rain north of the Florida Keys, the National Hurricane Center in suburban Coral Gables reported.
The six-month hurricane season was less deadly than in 1988, when 550 people died in storms.
