"Favorite" individual hurricanes?

Hurricane Doria 1967. It was the only Hurricane that ever forced me (my parents) to evacuate (we were on a barrier island in Delaware) and the path is still pretty amazing. Coming STRAIGHT west towards the mid Atlantic from the east and then turned SOUTH!

Patricia 2015, that storm was a once-in-a-lifetime event

I'm originally from Houston and had family working in Galveston for a long time so for me the ones I feel the greatest connection to are the 1900 Galveston storm, Hurricane Carla, and Hurricane Harvey. My nanny lived through Carla and told me stories about the storm, and I learned about the 1900 hurricane in middle school and became obsessed with it for years.
Harvey is self-explanatory.
...all three of course are major characters in the stories I have posted on this site.

Isabel's (non-annular) peak is one of my favorites, for a storm out in the open Atlantic it doesn't get much better than this. Unfortunately if you live in the DMV like I do no one remembers it for that...

Isabel for its perfect donut shape and was the first hurricane I followed and tracked closely when I was young. Huge reason why I love weather today. Also remember going to the NJ boardwalk to experience some of its effects.

After that Wilma for its sheer record shattering terror on top of that record shattering season.

Looking back, I'd have to say that my favorite hurricane occured 40 years ago during August of that year. Hurricane Danny made landfall on August 16 1985. It certainly wasn't the most destructive hurricane of the year nor did Hurricane Danny have a particularly interesting storm track (such as Elena during that same year). Danny was however, the first hurricane that I ever chased, intercepted, and even the rare opportunity to experience a "hurricane walk" just as the hurricane began to landfall on the Louisiana coast.
