It's a great webpage, but they need to update their data....because it says this:

"Though it was an extremely strong Category 4 storm, even at landfall, Hurricane Andrew never achieved Category 5 status."

Good point. I fired off an e-mail to the webmaster, thanking him for the fine page, and then calling attention to the needed change.

Thanks,

It shows the locations, names and years of all U.S. landfalling hurricanes since 1950. I'm sure there's probably another site out there somewhere that shows from 1800's to the present but I haven't found it yet. This site (
