Folks Burn Hurricane Warning Flags Celebrating End of Season

Hurricane Season 2021 was a real b..well, you know.

November 30th, 2021 officially marked the end of Hurricane Season for this year, and it was a doozy.

For Hurricane Season 2021, 21 named storms formed, and "7 systems went on to become hurricanes and 4 strengthened into major cyclones with winds of at least 115 mph" as reported by foxweather.com.

In Key West, Florida, residents gathered yesterday (11/30/21) to ceremoniously burn hurricane warning flags in celebration of the end of Hurricane Season 2021.

What do you think we should call it?
