Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p The 1999 Atlantic hurricane season had five Category 4 hurricanes – the highest amount recorded in a single season in the Atlantic basin. The season officially began on June 1, and ended on November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. It was a fairly active season, mostly due to a persistent La Niña that developed in the latter half of 1998. The first storm, Arlene, formed on June 11 to the southeast of Bermuda. It meandered slowly for a week and caused no impact on land. Other tropical cyclones that did not affect land were Hurricane Cindy, Tropical Storm Emily, and Tropical Depression Twelve. Minor impact on land was caused by Hurricanes Bret, Gert, and Jose, Tropical Storms Harvey and Katrina, and Tropical Depression Seven.The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Floyd, a strong Category 4 hurricane that caused devastating flooding along the East Coast of the United States, especially in North Carolina. Damage from the storm was $4.5 billion (1999 USD) and there were at least 57 fatalities, making the deadliest hurricane in the United States since Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Flooding from Floyd in North Carolina resulted from its passage in the wake of Hurricane Dennis, a slow and erratic moving storm that dropped heavy rainfall in the eastern portion of the state. A tropical depression in October contributed to extreme flooding in Mexico, though impact directly from the system and its remnants is unknown. Hurricane Irene caused extensive flooding in Cuba and Florida, with lesser effects in North Carolina and The Bahamas. Hurricane Lenny was an unusually eastward moving storm in the Caribbean Sea and a strong late season storm. It caused extensive damage in the Lesser Antilles in the month of November. Collectively, the storms of the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season caused at least 465 fatalities and $5.9 billion in losses.. }
