June 1 marked the start of hurricane season, the six-month period in which strong storms form in warm tropical waters.
At the start of each hurricane season, researchers make predictions about how many severe storms the US is likely see and how strong they might be.

Hopefully, none of these will be on par with the most destructive storms in US history. Here’s what to know about the six deadliest hurricanes the country has ever experienced.
