“Was`nt quite nothing. Last year was a normal season.”
Not even close... very light.
“The season was unusual in that no hurricanes made landfall in the United States of America, the first such occurrence since 2001.”

As far as hurricanes hitting the US, last year was below normal. But for the storms themselves, it was near normal.
