28th Storm Added to Record-Setting 2005
From Times Wire Reports
Almost five months after the record-shattering 2005 hurricane season ended, the summer of storms suddenly grew bigger by one.
Upon further review of weather records, the National Hurricane Center in Miami added a 28th storm to the season, which officially ended Nov. 30, 2005.
The old record of 21 storms was set in 1933.
The center added an unnamed tropical storm that briefly popped up in early October and meandered around the Azores, the island chain west of Portugal.
