The 1928 Atlantic hurricane season featured the Okeechobee hurricane, which was second deadliest tropical cyclone in the history of the United States. Only eight tropical cyclones developed during the season—ranking as a below-average year. Of these eight tropical systems, seven of them intensified into a tropical storm and four further strengthened into hurricanes. One hurricane deepened into a major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane Four, nicknamed the Okeechobee hurricane. A Category 5 at its peak, the storm caused tremendous damage and loss of life along its course, with Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico, and Florida suffering the brunt of its effects; over 2,500 people died in Florida, ranking it as the second-deadliest hurricane in United States' history. Collectively, the storms of this season left over $102 million in damage and at least 4,289 fatalities.
