[Cyclone1]

Cyclone1: Hugo

Yes.

[Andrew92]

Heidi 1967 is for Category 5's.

OK, here's a hint. 80s.

[Category 5]

Not heidi

[Andrew92]

You and me both have good ones Category 5! Gonna guess on mine at all?

Ginger 1971

[Cyclenall]

Well good job then! However......and don't forget about my rule either.

This one should be fun:

This is my first guess of this thead but I love this game so I will start. Is it Tropical Storm Narda of 1989 (as a TD?)?

[Andrew92]

It is not Narda.

Tough one, huh?

[Category 5]

Ginger is correct.

Category 5: 26
Andrew92: 13
Cyclone1: 10
Brent: 7
Fact789: 5
Chacor: 3
Coredesat: 3
Miamiensiswx: 1

[Category 5]

It is not Narda.

Tough one, huh?

another hint?

[Andrew92]

Begins with a vowel.

Bonus hint: There is no image of this storm on Wikipedia.

[Cyclenall]

Mini List: (for Andrew92's image)

Tropical Storm Manuel ('89)
Tropical Storm Bud ('88)
Tropical Storm Aletta ('88)
Tropical Storm Irwin ('87)

[Andrew92]

Mini List: (for Andrew92's image)

Tropical Storm Manuel ('89)
Tropical Storm Bud ('88)
Tropical Storm Aletta ('88)
Tropical Storm Irwin ('87)

Not one of those is right! Remember, starts with a vowel, no image on Wikipedia.

If you make a list and none are right, I have decided you may keep guessing.

Hurricane Ismael 1989?

[Andrew92]

It is not Ismael of '89.

[Category 5]

Odile 1984?

[Andrew92]

It IS Odile!!!!!

Norbert being right next to it made this one very challenging to make. But in any event, I'm glad this one was a really tough one.

And to go with it:

You can see the dates above.

A personal fact of mine: Odile was the first hurricane to hit Mexico in my lifetime.

[Andrew92]

I'll give this one two guesses, but if I get it wrong, in fairness, I'll wait til tomorrow to guess.

These hard ones are good! I have to say, I hope the really hard and obscure hurricanes mentioned raises some awareness of other hurricanes that have hit Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.

First guess: Allen

[Category 5]

Wrong.

[Andrew92]

If you think about it, it looks like there are THREE eyes in that image! GREAT challenge.

Last guess until some more people guess:

Lili 1996
