Another few records:
When Hurricane Emily reached Category 4 intensity on July 15, the 2005 season became the only season to have two hurricanes reach Category 4 intensity before the end of July. Emily also broke Dennis's nine-day-old record for the strongest storm on record before August when its maximum sustained winds reached 155 mph on July 16, along with a minimum central pressure of 929 mbar.
This activity was reflected in the Accumulated Cyclone Energy value at the end of July; at 61 (104 kt2), it was the highest ever. The previous highest was 49 (104 kt2) in 1916; the modern record was 33 (104 kt2) in 1966

Some more: 
THis is hurting my brain, there are just to many...The number of storms before the end of July (seven) is also a record, breaking the record of five set in the 1887, 1933, 1936, 1959, 1966, and 1995 seasons.
2005 and 1933 share the record for the most storms (17) forming before the end of September. 2005 now also holds the record for most storms (23) forming before the end of October and ties for the number of storms forming during October with 1950, as six storms (Stan, Tammy, Vince, Wilma, Alpha and Beta) have formed during that period.
