The last Time this Happened.....

[Javlin]

When was the last this happen to have three landfalling systems within such a close range of each other.I know of one series back in the 1860's that this occurred.I think they were 60NM of each other and under a month.Goes to show a pattern that may prevail for a little longer.I would expect a change in the pattern before long I hope.

I was thinking them, but don't remember precisely how far apart they were spaced....

Me too, but figured it couldn't hurt to mention it

I was thinking of the MGOM but yuo are entirely correct.A synoptic pattern had set up there in that case also.TKS for the response any others.

Will with Jeanes name in there there was some spacing apart on the time.That was along pattern then.

Polk county in FL was hit by all three. They came at different angles so they got the WHOLE COUNTY! I guess they didn't want to leave anyone out. HOW SAD!

What about Arlene and Dennis?

Don't forget, Frances and Jeanne made landfall within two miles of each other. One made landfall on North Hutchinson Island, the other on South Hutchinson Island. I forget which was which.

I don't think Charley was under the same pattern as Frances and Jeanne.Charley turned NE due to the trough.Frances and Jeanne because of the position of the high.

yeah, my parents were living in Stuart at the time...hutchison island is like 5 miles from them.....

Don't forget, Frances and Jeanne made landfall within two miles of each other. One made landfall on North Hutchinson Island, the other on South Hutchinson Island. I forget which was which.

Even though that occured last year, that is still incredible that they ended up coming ashore almost at the exact same spot. Especially considering that big loop Jeanne made before she started heading west toward the coast.

And the fact they both had very large windfields and huge eyes. So many similarities it is scary!

Frances and Jeanne were unbelieveable I dont think that will ever happen again

In the 10 years since this active period began, 7 storms - Erin and Opal (both in 1995), Ivan (2004), Danny (1997), Barry (2001)and Arlene and Dennis (both in 2005) all came in between Mobile and Panama City, in other words, the Pensacola area. Not really that important, but just some interesting trivia for y'all living in the Pcola.

What about Arlene and Dennis?

Arlene made landfall near the Alabama-Florida border, about 25 miles west of where Dennis hit. Arlene's landfall point was closer to Ivan's than Dennis's.
