Other than ocean temperatures, If the winds blow sand from the Sahara into the Atlantic then it messes up hurricane formation and we get a quiet season

Yep! There was a solid sand covering for most of the season. Very few storms were able to gain strength in the Atlantic like they typically do. That dropped off before Ian. Now the waters are cooler so that keeps storms at bay too. We got lucky this year.
