The busiest Atlantic hurricane season on record ends Wednesday, but forecasters say next year's season could be just as active.

Since the season began June 1, a record 26 storms have achieved wind speeds high enough to be classified as tropical storms. The latest, tropical storm Epsilon, formed in the Atlantic Tuesday. Thirteen of those 26 reached hurricane force."
