== Seasonal Summary ==
The '''1979 Atlantic Hurricane Season''' was a record-breaking and extremely devastating series. This season is the first of an ongoing series of HA Animations' HELL Series, in which tropical cyclone seasons are reimagined to be far more devastating while also being loosely based on the real-world counterpart of the season. This series begins in 1979, the beginning of the usage of male-female alternating lists, which is considered the beginning of the "modern" Atlantic Naming Lists.
 
 
The 1979 Atlantic Hurricane Season would begin on June 12, with Hurricane Ana, which made several landfalls in the Caribbean and the Southeastern United States. Ana would make an exceptionally rare Georgia landfall, making landfall in Savannah, Georgia at peak intensity. Shortly after, Bob would form in the far western Tropical Atlantic. Bob would become a category two hurricane in the Eastern Caribbean, and would make landfall in Hispaniola as a category one storm before going out to sea for the remainder of its life. In early July, Tropical Storm Claudette, Hurricane David, and Tropical Storm Elena would form, with Claudette remaining mainly out to sea, with the exception of a tropical storm landfall in Bermuda. David and Elena would experience a Fujiwara Interaction, in which David absorbed Elena shortly after Elena made landfall in Extreme Southern South Carolina. Hurricane David would peak as a category two hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, before making landfall near Pensacola, Florida on July 13th.

'''Hurricane Pixel''' emerged as the sixteenth named storm, sixth '''major hurricane''', and second '''Category 5 hurricane''' of the 2050 Atlantic hurricane season, originating as '''Invest 95L''' on October 6, 2050, in the southwestern Caribbean Sea with initial winds of 5 mph and a pressure of 1019 mb. The system intensified into '''Tropical Storm Pixel''' by October 7 at 12:00 UTC (40 mph, 998 mb) and underwent rapid strengthening in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, reaching '''Category 1''' by October 8 at 18:00 UTC (80 mph, 986 mb), '''Category 3''' by October 9 at 12:00 UTC (125 mph, 956 mb), and '''Category 5''' by October 9 at 18:00 UTC (175 mph, 908 mb). It achieved its peak intensity, the '''most intense hurricane on record''' with a minimum central pressure of 868 mb and the '''strongest hurricane on record''' with sustained winds of 220 mph (354 km/h) on '''October 10, 2050, at 00:00 UTC''', north of the Yucatán Peninsula. Following its peak, Pixel underwent an '''eyewall replacement cycle (ERC)''', briefly weakening to 155 mph by October 10 at 12:00 UTC (915 mb), before restrengthening to '''Category 5''' status, reaching 205 mph (879 mb) by October 11 at 18:00 UTC. Pixel then made a catastrophic '''landfall''' along the Gulf Coast of Florida near the '''Florida Panhandle''' on '''October 11, 2050, at 12:00 UTC''', as a strong '''Category 5 hurricane''' with 200 mph winds and 884 mb pressure, bringing devastating storm surges up to 25 feet and winds that demolished coastal infrastructure. Before landfall, Pixel spawned an '''EF4 tornado''' in the Florida Panhandle, causing widespread destruction. The storm weakened to '''Category 4''' by October 12 at 12:00 UTC (155 mph, 923 mb) over land, moved northeast, looped off the southeastern U.S. coast with winds fluctuating between 130 and 185 mph from October 14 to 15, transitioned into an '''extratropical cyclone''' on October 18 at 18:00 UTC (70 mph, 990 mb), and dissipated east of Newfoundland by October 23 at 06:00 UTC (5 mph, 1020 mb). Pixel contributed 73.84 points to the season’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE), the highest of any storm in 2050, and was the '''costliest hurricane ever in recorded history''', with an estimated $1.5 trillion (2050 USD) in damages.

Following its '''landfall''' on the Gulf Coast of Florida, '''Hurricane Pixel''' unleashed torrential rainfall across the southeastern United States, with totals exceeding 20 inches in parts of Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi, triggering widespread freshwater flooding and necessitating numerous high-water rescues. The storm’s unprecedented power resulted in catastrophic destruction, with the $1.5 trillion (2050 USD) damage estimate reflecting extensive losses to homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure across the Florida Panhandle and adjacent Gulf Coast regions. In Florida, three deaths were reported due to flooding and structural collapse, while offshore, two individuals perished from rip currents near Alabama; the '''EF4 tornado''' before landfall added further fatalities and damage. Pixel’s expansive wind field generated additional tornadoes, including two '''EF0 tornadoes''' in Georgia, compounding the storm’s toll. Coastal areas of Louisiana, including Grand Isle, experienced moderate flooding from a 10–15 foot storm surge, while Texas saw minor wave impacts. The storm’s severity prompted mass evacuations and a federal emergency declaration, cementing its status as a historic disaster.

Seasonal Summary

The 1979 Atlantic Hurricane Season was a record-breaking and extremely devastating series. This season is the first of an ongoing series of HA Animations' HELL Series, in which tropical cyclone seasons are reimagined to be far more devastating while also being loosely based on the real-world counterpart of the season. This series begins in 1979, the beginning of the usage of male-female alternating lists, which is considered the beginning of the "modern" Atlantic Naming Lists.


The 1979 Atlantic Hurricane Season would begin on June 12, with Hurricane Ana, which made several landfalls in the Caribbean and the Southeastern United States. Ana would make an exceptionally rare Georgia landfall, making landfall in Savannah, Georgia at peak intensity. Shortly after, Bob would form in the far western Tropical Atlantic. Bob would become a category two hurricane in the Eastern Caribbean, and would make landfall in Hispaniola as a category one storm before going out to sea for the remainder of its life. In early July, Tropical Storm Claudette, Hurricane David, and Tropical Storm Elena would form, with Claudette remaining mainly out to sea, with the exception of a tropical storm landfall in Bermuda. David and Elena would experience a Fujiwara Interaction, in which David absorbed Elena shortly after Elena made landfall in Extreme Southern South Carolina. Hurricane David would peak as a category two hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, before making landfall near Pensacola, Florida on July 13th.
