Hurricane Ginger in 1971 did it.

TWC top story: "Cleaning up after Alex"......
I know that the people in NC got a pretty good show of what Alex could have done but, it didn't even come within 30 miles of the coast..... Sounds like they are kind of late for making it a top story........ That's my take on it....

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 60 miles... 95 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 345 miles...555 km.

This is getting a little, well... hard to fathom.
People. When a storm is very raggedly defined, like a tropical depression.. it cannot take racing westward (or eastward if you want to get hypothetical) 20 miles per hour. Saying, 'Um, but what about a storm which will quickly become extratropical moving over twenty miles per hour' is clearly missing the point.
Alex is a hurricane. You can see the center, its VERY evident. There is a LLC there and if not, we might as well forget forecasting the weather. But could you say absolutely there was a LLC with td2? Perhaps.. but was it very strong? Was it very defined from its surrounding environment? Nope, nope.. it wasn't defined much at all... certainly it wasn't below 1005 mb..
So a small weak, maybe system cannot take 20 mph. And soon you will see neither can Alex... not at that latitude. But even if by some crazy occurance Alex was moving 30mph through the Caribbean: it would still be a hurricane, and it is better stacked. The LLC would not be overrun I think, or it would at least be less hindered.
OK, I'm done. Lets see if I got something right in the above. =)
