The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was the first since
1968 with no hurricanes of
Category 2 or higher. The first storm of the season,
Tropical Storm Andrea, developed on June 5, and the last, unnamed, dissipated on December 7. Humberto and
Ingrid were the only two hurricanes, the lowest seasonal total since
1982. Andrea killed four people after making
landfall in
Florida and moving up the
U.S. East Coast. In early July, Tropical Storm Chantal moved through the Leeward Islands, causing one fatality, but minimal damage overall. Tropical storms Dorian and Erin and Hurricane Humberto brought only squally weather to the
Cape Verde Islands. Mexico, where Hurricane Ingrid, Tropical Depression Eight, and tropical storms
Barry and Fernand all made landfall, was the hardest hit; Ingrid alone caused at least 23 deaths and $1.5 billion worth of damage. In early October, Tropical Storm Karen brought showers and gusty winds to the central
U.S. Gulf Coast. All major forecasting agencies had predicted an above-average season, but an unexpected weakening of the
Gulf Stream and other
thermohaline currents prolonged the spring weather pattern over the Atlantic Ocean, suppressing
tropical storm formation. (

George Catlin (1796–1872) was an American
painter, author and traveler who specialized in portraits of
Native Americans in the
Old West. Born in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Catlin was fascinated with Native American culture from a young age. He began depicting them in art in the 1820s, and between 1830 and 1836 he visited almost fifty
Plains Indians tribes in the American west. From his experiences, he produced a collection of over five hundred paintings which he exhibited on tour. These works are now housed in the
Smithsonian American Art Museum.
