Only 6 tropical systems formed during the season. Four of those became hurricanes and just one became a major hurricane. The season started on June 7 when a tropical storm formed in the Gulf of Mexico. It made landfall near Intracoastal City, Louisiana. Another, weak, tropical storm struck Brunswick, Georgia. Damage from both storms was minimal.
