I think it's fair to say NHC forecasters would file for early retirement if that happens today. :eek: :P

Betsy's loop must have been a very tight one off the east coast of Florida. For 27 years, Betsy stood as the last major storm to impact Miami...until Andrew. It was one of the worst storms of the '60s.

How's this for a loop: Esther, 1961.

I think this one takes the cake for loops. Looks like it nailed Cape Cod twice!
