Hurricane Hanna, which formed Sept. 1, only briefly achieved hurricane strength, but led to at least 163 deaths in Haiti. One account put the death toll above 500. The storm, shown here Sept. 5 before landfall near the South Carolina-North Carolina border, also soaked the U.S. East Coast.
Tropical Storm Gustav formed August 25 and reached hurricane strength Aug. 26 before making landfall in Haiti, killing at least 67 there and in the Dominican Republic.
New Orleans and surrounding areas on the U.S. Gulf Coast evacuated ahead of the storm, but Hurricane Gustav was still blamed for as many as eight deaths.
Tropical Storm Fay, seen here on Aug. 21, formed Aug. 15 off the coast of the Dominican Republic, and killed 23 there and in Haiti before making a record four landfalls in Florida.
The storm was blamed for as many as 14 deaths in Florida, and one each in Georgia and Alabama.
