The

Tropical Storm Omeka
, degenerated on December 21.

The season began with record-breaking activity with four named storms, including two

Omeka, developed in the off-season on December 18, marking a record-late formation date in the satellite-era.[4] Although there were relatively few storms, the season proved exceptionally deadly and destructive. Torrential rains associated with Agatha and Eleven-E killed well over 200 people in Central America and Mexico and left more than $1.5 billion in damage.[5][6]
