2012 Atlantic hurricane season

The Alternate 2012 Atlantic Hurricane Season officially began on December 31, 2011 and ended on October 14, 2012, it started quite early. It was an extraordinary season, with Hypercane Humberto and Hypercane Eric as the seasons strongest storms. Hypercane Humberto was the second biggest hypercane ever recorded, after Hypercane Levy in the Pacific. The storm was a weak tropical storm. But, while passing over two erupting underwater volcanoes in August, it strengthened from a tropical storm into a massive hypercane with winds topping 500 mph. The same thing happened to Hypercane Eric, which destroyed west Europe. Humberto also spawned the 2012 US East Coast Tsunami which had a height of 20 meters (65 feet).

Tropical Depression One
Tropical Depression One formed under favourable conditions as a wave near Africa. On December 31, it formed into the first depression of the season, but dissipated the next day.
