Feels like 2005 went especially bonkers August and after if I recall.
Katrina was late August and Rita was late September, so you recall correctly...but it was a pretty steady stream all season. Hell, one of the storms of the 2005 season (Zeta) actually carried over into 2006.
2005 also had multiple major hurricanes in July, including one Cat 5 (Emily).
This season so far has had naming quantity, but not much in the way of intensity of storms. I wouldn't put 2020 into the league of 2005 at this point...2005 had already kicked numerous asses by this point.
