So far...

(although the Cape Verde systems tend to track longer, and that part of the season is ending)

Igor, what an historic storm! See paragraph 3 from final NHC discussion:

000
WTNT41 KNHC 212032
TCDAT1
HURRICANE IGOR DISCUSSION NUMBER 55
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112010
500 PM AST TUE SEP 21 2010

LAND AND BUOY OBSERVATIONS IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND THE ADJACENT WATERS
INDICATE THAT IGOR HAS BECOME FULLY EMBEDDED WITHIN A FRONTAL ZONE.
JUST AFTER THE CENTER OF IGOR PASSED OVER CANADIAN BUOY 44251 NEAR
CAPE RACE EARLIER IN THE DAY...THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BY ABOUT 10
DEGREES F. HOWEVER...THE CYCLONE IS STILL PRODUCING HURRICANE-
FORCE WINDS...AND THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 70 KT IS BASED ON
REPORTED SUSTAINED WINDS OF 63 KT AT BONAVISTA NEWFOUNDLAND. IGOR
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS FOR
ANOTHER DAY OR SO...AND THEN SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES
NORTHWARD INTO THE DAVIS STRAITS.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS ESTIMATED TO BE 25 DEGREES AT 34 KT. THE
TRACK GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT IN
SHOWING IGOR TURNING NORTHWESTWARD TO THE WEST OF GREENLAND IN A
COUPLE OF DAYS AND INTERACTING WITH ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
NEAR NORTHERN QUEBEC. THE MODELS DO SHOW VARYING SOLUTIONS...
HOWEVER...ON WHICH OF THESE TWO SYSTEMS WILL BECOME THE DOMINANT
ONE. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST...IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDANCE
PROVIDED BY THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER...WILL KEEP IGOR AS A
DISTINCT CYCLONE THROUGH 96 HOURS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST INDICATES
VERY LITTLE MOTION FROM 72 TO 96 HOURS SINCE THE CYCLONE WILL BE
NORTH OF THE BELT OF STRONG WESTERLIES BY THEN.

THE 12-FT SEAS RADII PROVIDED BY THE OCEAN PREDICTION CENTER ARE 480
NE...900 SE...1320 SW...AND 380 NW. RADII IN THE FORECAST/ADVISORY
ARE LIMITED TO 995 N MI...BUT 12-FT SEAS ARE ACTUALLY OCCURRING AT
A GREATER DISTANCE THAN THAT.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INITIAL 21/2100Z 49.3N 51.7W 70 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
12HR VT 22/0600Z 53.0N 49.8W 70 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
24HR VT 22/1800Z 57.2N 51.0W 70 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
36HR VT 23/0600Z 61.6N 57.5W 55 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
48HR VT 23/1800Z 62.5N 60.5W 45 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
72HR VT 24/1800Z 62.0N 60.5W 40 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
96HR VT 25/1800Z 61.5N 59.5W 40 KT...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP
120HR VT 26/1800Z...DISSIPATED

$$
FORECASTER BERG
**********
So, from NE to SW, that's 1800 nautical miles of 12-ft seas, or in statute miles, 2057. Do you think this sets some kind of record?

Igor was truly a big deal in so many ways. I'm still reading about damage in Newfoundland, with two of their peninsulas cut off by washed out roads. I believe that there are "only" the three deaths attributed to Igor - two in the Caribbean & one in Newfoundland.
