Hmm, it's sure been a long time for you, FL west coast. Hope it stays that way.

Great map isobar with all those landfalls with the dates but the question is this season what area in the US coastline will get landfall(s).

By the way, Lili was officially a cat. 2 at landfall, but obviously NOAA doesn't think so. I believe it was 100 or 105 mph.

I wouldn't say that too often Johnathan. I have a map embedded somewhere in my umpteen hundred wx bookmarks that shows a slew of landfalling Florida hurricanes during, I believe, the 1870s.
*They all hit from the W or SW*
I'll post it when I find it. It's pretty wild.

I will say what jumps out at me is the fact that its now almost been sence 10 years that the Outberbanks of NC has had a hit...............And the other is that the NE coast its been over Ten years???????Which if you go with averages both places are over do................And what is worse is thier isnt a strike anywhere from the outerbanks to LI,NY which one can only imagine how long these places are over do for a hit! :o :o ............Which goes without saying about the west coast of FLA! :o .............Either way this is a great map and thank you isobar for posting the map. :D

I finally found that graphic I was telling you about, Johnathan. I hope you're area continues to be a buffer zone, but this map worries me.
I used to live in Tampa, and my family is still there.

Hey Isobar,

That last map has got to be WAY OFF. There's no way 79 hurricanes hit Florida in a 10 year span. If it's yours, fix that caption!

I only counted 21 storms, Steve. The numbers in each of the yellow circles are the year that they hit. Here's the link:
