The 1905 Atlantic hurricane season ran through the summer and early fall of 1905. The season was inactive. Of the five tropical storms that formed, only one became a hurricane. That one hurricane achieved major hurricane strength before spinning out to sea.
Famous quotes containing the words atlantic, hurricane and/or season:
“Obscurest night involv’d the sky,
Th’ Atlantic billows roar’d,
When such a destin’d wretch as I,
Wash’d headlong from on board,
Of friends, of hope, of all bereft,
His floating home for ever left.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
“Thought and beauty, like a hurricane or waves, should not know conventional, delimited forms.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If woman is inconstant,
good, I am faithful to
ebb and flow, I fall
in season and now
is a time of ripening.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
