Winter weather in 2017 kicked off with a winter storm from January 4-8. This winter storm causes six fatalities.[1] Around a week later, an ice storm causes 9 fatalities.[citation needed] Portland, Oregon saw the most snow in a single day in 20 years.[2] Around a week after that, a nor'easter from the Tornado outbreak of January 21-23, 2017 caused a death in Philadelphia,[3] It also resulted in 100 accidents in Quebec.[4] After a lull in activity, winter weather resumed on February 9, which caused a man to die in Manhattan.[5] New York City had record warmth the day before.[6] Then, another winter storm rode up the East Coast a few days later, killing two.[7][8] Six thousand power outages occur in Nova Scotia.[9] A month later, a giant blizzard rode up the East Coast. At least 16 people were killed.[10] A record no-snow streak in Chicago was ended.[11] Another winter storm affected the Rocky Mountains in late April. Pueblo, Colorado saw 9200 power outages as a result,[12] and portions of Interstate 70 in Kansas shut down.[13] While mostly rain, a significant storm complex affected the Northeastern United States in late October. It caused over $100 million in damage,[14] and 1.3 million power outages. Maine set a record number of power outages.[15] However, the mountains of West Virginia record up to 8.4 inches (21 cm) of snow.[16] In early December, a winter storm results in 3 deaths and 400,000 power outages.[17] The year ends with a record breaking cold wave. Flint, Michigan set a monthly record low.[18]

Nineteen people were injured,[45][46] Damage totaled $2.5 billion.[32] More tornadoes affect the US on April 2 and 3. The 59 tornadoes from the system cause 3 deaths.[47][48] Less than a week later, two die due to a tornado in Paraguay.[49] Another tornado outbreak affected the United States in late April and early May. The storm system resulted in $1.9 billion,[32] and caused 20 total deaths. Five of those deaths are tornadic. Two fatal tornadoes strike Canton, Texas which cause a combined 4 fatalities, 49 injuries and $1.87 million.[50][51][52][53] A tornado outbreak sequence in mid to late May results in 2 deaths, 39 injuries and $975 million.[54] Significant tornadic activity slowed down after this. On August 6, a small outbreak of tornadoes occurred near Tulsa, Oklahoma. The tornadoes cause 30 injuries, all due to an EF2 in Tulsa, and $50.24 million, of which $50 million is due to the EF2 in Tulsa.[55] Five days later, more tornadoes occur in China. The tornadoes cause 5 deaths and 58 injuries.[56]

Tropical cyclones edit

The first tropical cyclone of the year was a tropical disturbance in the South Pacific, which formed on January 2 over the Solomon Islands. It was the first of 20 tropical cyclones in the South Pacific during the year,[57][58] including Cyclone Donna, which became the strongest cyclone on record in the basin in the month of May, with 10 minute sustained winds of 205 km/h (125 mph).[59] In the neighboring Australian basin, there were 28 tropical cyclones, most of them weak;[57][58] however, Cyclone Ernie in April reached Category 5 intensity on the Australian tropical cyclone intensity scale, with 10 minute sustained winds of 220 km/h (140 mph).[60] Cyclone Debbie struck Queensland in March, causing A$3.5 billion (US$2.67 billion) in damage and 14 deaths across Australia.[61][62] In November, Cyclone Cempaka killed 41 people in Indonesia from heavy rainfall.[63] The south-west Indian Ocean was quiet, with only six tropical cyclones during the year.[57][58] Of these, Cyclone Dineo in February killed at least 258 people when it moved through Mozambique and Zimbabwe.[64][65] Cyclone Enawo struck Madagascar in March, killing 78 people.[66] There was also a subtropical cycloneGuará – which formed off Brazil in December.[67]

In the northern hemisphere, activity began on January 7, when a tropical depression formed and later moved across the Philippines, killing 11 people.[68] It was the first of 41 tropical cyclones in the western Pacific Ocean in the year.[69] The final two storms of the season – Kai-tak and Tembin – moved through the Philippines in December, together causing 406 deaths.[64] The year's costliest typhoon was Hato, which left more than US$4.34 billion in damage when it moved ashore southern China near Hong Kong.[70] In the north Indian Ocean, there were 10 tropical cyclones, which included several deadly storms. Cyclone Ockhi in December killed more than 137 people in Sri Lanka and southern India.[69][71] There were 20 tropical cyclones in the eastern Pacific Ocean, including Tropical Storm Lidia, which killed 20 people when it struck western Mexico.[69][72]

In the Atlantic Ocean, activity began in April and lasted until November, with 18 tropical cyclones,[69] including several deadly and costly storms. In August, Hurricane Harvey struck southeastern Texas and subsequently stalled over the state, dropping 60.58 in (1,539 mm) of rainfall; this was the highest amount of precipitation associated with a tropical cyclone in the United States. The rains caused widespread flooding along the storm's path, particularly near Houston, resulting in more than 100 fatalities and US$125 billion in damage, tying Harvey with Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as the costliest United States hurricane.[73] In September, Hurricane Irma struck the northern Lesser Antilles and later Cuba as a Category 5 hurricane, and later Florida at a lower intensity, causing more than US$50 billion in damage and 139 deaths.[74] Two weeks after Irma, Hurricane Maria struck Dominica as a Category 5 hurricane and later Puerto Rico as a Category 4 hurricane, causing US$90 billion in damage and more than 3,000 deaths, mostly in Puerto Rico.[75][76][77] Also during the season, Hurricane Nate produced damaging floods across Central America, killing 45 people.[78]

In addition to the above cyclones, there was a Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone called Cyclone Numa, which killed 22 people when it struck Greece.[79]
