The 2005 Nias–Simeulue earthquake occurred on 28 March off the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia.
 At least 915 people were killed, mostly on the island of Nias.
 The event caused panic in the region, which had already been devastated by the massive tsunami triggered by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, but this earthquake generated a relatively small tsunami that caused limited damage.
 It was the third most powerful earthquake since 1965 in Indonesia.
The 1984 Atlantic hurricane season was the busiest since 1971.
 It officially began on June 1, 1984, and lasted until November 30, 1984.
 These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.
 The 1984 season was an active one in terms of named storms, but most of them were weak and stayed at sea.
 Most of the cyclones tracked through the northwest subtropical Atlantic west of the 50th meridian to near the Eastern coast of the United States between mid-August and early October.
 The most damaging storm was Hurricane Diana, which caused $65.5 million (1984 dollars) in damage in North Carolina.
 Diana was the first hurricane to strike a nuclear power plant without incident; it was also the first major hurricane to strike the U.S. East Coast in nearly 20 years.
 Also of note was Hurricane Lili, which lasted well after the official end of the season.
 It was downgraded from a named storm on December 24.
 Damage overall from the tropical cyclones in 1984 totaled $66.4 million (1984 USD).
Hurricane Gustav was a Category 2 hurricane that paralleled the East Coast of the United States in September 2002 during the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season.
 It was the seventh named storm and first hurricane of the season.
 Initially a subtropical depression north of the Bahamas, Gustav passed slightly to the east of the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a tropical storm before moving northeastward and making two landfalls in Atlantic Canada as a Category 1 hurricane.
 The storm was responsible for one death and $100,000 in damage, mostly in North Carolina.
 The interaction between Gustav and a non-tropical system produced strong winds that caused an additional $240,000 (2002 USD) in damage in New England, but this damage was not directly attributed to the hurricane.
Hurricane Diana was the fourth tropical storm, the first hurricane, the first major hurricane, and the strongest storm of the 1984 Atlantic hurricane season.
 Diana was the first major hurricane to hit the U.S. East Coast in nearly 20 years.
 Watches and warnings were issued for the storm along the East coast between eastern Florida and Virginia.
 It caused moderate damage in North Carolina while it looped offshore and after it made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane.
 Forming on September 8, Diana moved northward and wandered across North Carolina for a couple of days during mid-September, dropping heavy rainfall.
 Once it left the state and accelerated east-northeast, Diana quickly evolved into an extratropical cyclone.
 Damages to the United States totaled $65.5 million (1984 USD).
 Three indirect fatalities were caused by the cyclone.
Hurricane Charley was the first hurricane to threaten the East Coast of the United States since Hurricane Gloria the previous year.
 The third tropical storm and second hurricane of the season, Charley formed as a subtropical low on August 13 along the Florida panhandle.
 After moving off the coast of South Carolina, the system transitioned into a tropical cyclone and intensified into a tropical storm on August 15.
 Charley later attained hurricane status before moving across eastern North Carolina.
 It gradually weakened over the north Atlantic Ocean before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone on August 20.
 Charley's remnants remained identifiable for over a week until after crossing the British Isles and dissipating on August 30.
Hurricane Gloria was the first significant system to strike the northeastern United States since Hurricane Agnes in 1972 and the first major storm to affect New York and Long Island directly since Hurricane Donna in 1960.
 It was also the most intense Category 4 hurricane that did not attain Category 5 status until surpassed by Hurricane Opal in the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season.
 It was a powerful Cape Verde-type hurricane that formed during the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season, originating from a tropical wave on September 16 in the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
 After remaining a weak tropical cyclone for several days, Gloria intensified into a hurricane on September 22 north of the Lesser Antilles.
 During that time, the storm had moved generally westward, although it turned to the northwest due to a weakening of the ridge.
 Gloria quickly intensified on September 24, and the next day reached peak winds of 145 mph (230 km/h).
 The hurricane weakened before striking the Outer Banks of North Carolina on September 27.
 Later that day, Gloria made two subsequent landfalls on Long Island and later western Connecticut, before becoming extratropical on September 28 over New England.
 The remnants moved through Atlantic Canada, eventually dissipating on October 2.
The 1986 Atlantic hurricane season officially began on June 1, 1986, and lasted until November 30, 1986.
 These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin.
 During the 1986 season, the first subtropical depression formed in the first week of June, while the last tropical cyclone dissipated at the end of the third week of November.
 The 1986 season had lower than average activity because of an ongoing El Niño event, and was the least active season in the North Atlantic since the 1983 Atlantic hurricane season.
 This was also the first season since 1972 to have no major hurricanes.
 Earl was the strongest hurricane of the season, reaching Category 2 status.
 Few storms caused significant damage; Hurricane Bonnie caused heavy rains and flooding across southeast Texas when it made landfall near Sea Rim State Park.
 Hurricane Charley caused limited damage in North Carolina and Massachusetts, but crossed the Atlantic as an extratropical cyclone and caused considerable damage in the British Isles.
The 2016 Atlantic hurricane season featured the highest amount of tropical cyclone activity in the Atlantic basin since 2012, producing a total of 15 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes.
 It was also the most destructive season since 2012, and was the deadliest since at least 2008.
 The season officially started on June 1 and ended on November 30, though the first storm, Hurricane Alex which formed in the Northeastern Atlantic, developed on January 12, being the first hurricane to develop in January since 1938.
 The final storm, Otto, crossed into the Eastern Pacific on November 25, a few days before the official end.
 Following Alex, Tropical Storm Bonnie brought flooding to South Carolina and portions of North Carolina.
 Tropical Storm Colin in early June brought minor flooding and wind damage to parts of the Southeastern United States, especially Florida.
 Hurricane Earl left 94 fatalities in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, 81 of which occurred in the latter.
 In early September, Hurricane Hermine, the first hurricane to make landfall in Florida since Hurricane Wilma in 2005, brought extensive coastal flooding damage especially to the Forgotten and Nature coasts of Florida.
 Hermine was responsible for five fatalities and about $550 million (2016 USD) in damage.
Hurricane David was an extremely deadly hurricane which caused massive devastation and loss of life in the Dominican Republic in August 1979.
 A Cape Verde-type hurricane that reached Category 5 hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, David was the fourth named tropical cyclone, second hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 1979 Atlantic hurricane season, traversing through the Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, and East Coast of the United States during late August and early September.
 David was the first hurricane to affect the Lesser Antilles since Hurricane Inez in 1966.
 With winds of 175 mph (280 km/h), David was the only storm of Category 5 intensity to make landfall on the Dominican Republic in the 20th century and the deadliest since the 1930 Dominican Republic Hurricane, San Zenon, killing over 2,000 people in its path.
 The hurricane was the deadliest Dominican tropical cyclone since a hurricane killed over 200 in September of the 1834 season.
The 1945 Outer Banks hurricane was a moderate hurricane that struck Florida and affected the East Coast of the United States in late June, 1945.
 The first tropical storm and the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, it developed on June 20 in the western Caribbean Sea off Honduras.
 For the next two days, it moved generally northward into the Gulf of Mexico.
 Reaching hurricane intensity on June 23, it then turned northeast toward the Florida peninsula.
 It made landfall in the Big Bend on June 24, then weakened to a tropical storm over land.
 Minor damage was reported in Florida, but the storm produced heavy, though beneficial, rains that eased one of the state's worst recorded droughts.
 Upon entering the Atlantic Ocean, it re-intensified into a hurricane and paralleled the East Coast.
 On June 26, it struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina as a minimal hurricane, producing minor damage but heavy rainfall.
