Chronological List of All Hurricanes which Affected the Continental
United States: 1851-2005.(Updated from Jarrell et al. 1992 and reflecting official
HURDAT reanalysis changes through 1914. Note that from 1915 through 1979, no

Notes:

States Affected and Category by States Affected: The impact of the
hurricane on individual U.S. states based upon the Saffir-Simpson Scale
(through the estimate of the maximum sustained surface winds at each state).
(TX S-South Texas, TX C-Central Texas, TX N-North Texas, LA-Louisiana,
MS-Mississippi, AL-Alabama, FL NW-Northwest Florida, FL SW-Southwest
Florida, FL SE-Southeast Florida, FL NE-Northeast Florida, GA-Georgia,
SC-South Carolina, NC-North Carolina, VA-Virginia, MD-Maryland, DE-Delaware,
NJ-New Jersey, NY-New York, PA-Pennsylvania, CT-Connecticut, RI-Rhode Island,
MA-Massachusetts, NH-New Hampshire, ME-Maine. In Texas, south refers to the
area from the Mexican border to Corpus Christi; central spans from north of
Corpus Christi to Matagorda Bay and north refers to the region from north of
Matagorda Bay to the Louisiana border. In Florida, the north-south dividing
line is from Cape Canaveral [28.45N] to Tarpon Springs [28.17N]. The
dividing line between west-east Florida goes from 82.69W at the north Florida
border with Georgia, to Lake Okeechobee and due south along longitude 80.85W.)

Highest U.S. Saffir-Simpson Category: The highest Saffir-Simpson Hurricane
Scale impact in the United States based upon estimated maximum sustained
surface winds produced at the coast.

Central Pressure: The observed (or analyzed from peripheral pressure
measurements) central pressure of the hurricane at landfall.

Maximum Winds: Estimated maximum sustained (1-min) surface (10 m) winds to
occur along the U. S. coast. Winds are estimated to the nearest 10 kt for the
period of 1851 to 1885 and to the nearest 5 kt for the period of 1886 to date.
(1 kt = 1.15 mph.)

* - Indicates that the hurricane center did not make a U.S. landfall (or
substantially weakened before making landfall), but did produce the indicated
hurricane force winds over land. In this case, central pressure is given for
the hurricane's point of closest approach.

& - Indicates that the hurricane center did make a direct landfall, but that
the strongest winds likely remained offshore. Thus the winds indicated here
are lower than in HURDAT.

# - Indicates that the hurricane made landfall over Mexico, but also caused
sustained hurricane force surface winds in Texas. The strongest winds at
landfall impacted Mexico, while the weaker maximum sustained winds indicated
here were conditions estimated to occur in Texas. Indicated central pressure
given is that at Mexican landfall.

Additional Note: Because of the sparseness of towns and cities before 1900 in
some coastal locations along the United States, the above list is not complete
for all states. Before the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts became settled,
hurricanes may have been underestimated in their intensity or missed completely
for small-sized systems (i.e., 2004’s Hurricane Charley). The following list
provides estimated dates when accurate tropical cyclone records began for
specified regions of the United States based upon U.S Census reports and other
historical analyses. Years in parenthesis indicate possible starting dates for
reliable records before the 1850s that may be available with additional research:
Texas-south – 1880, Texas-central – 1851, Texas-north – 1860, Louisiana – 1880,
Mississippi – 1851, Alabama < 1851 (1830), Florida-northwest – 1880,
Florida-southwest – 1900, Florida-southeast – 1900, Florida-northeast – 1880,
Georgia < 1851 (1800), South Carolina < 1851 (1760), North Carolina < 1851 (1760),
