We make them (or at least I make them) on Microsoft paint. The backgorund image, is extremely unrealistically unimaginably large. Even with high speed it took like 20 minutes to resize. But, here it is. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Whole_world_-_land_and_oceans.jpg.

I have made hypothetical hurricanes for:
Katrina, Dean, Debby, and Felix.
Katrina was a Cat 5 into SC, that I remember well. I don't remember the other ones.
I have made a "Hurricane Cass" make strong landfalls on Puerto Rico, Miami, and Houston.
Those are the most prominent ones I remember attm.

Re: Hypothetical Hurricanes
Where are ya'll getting that S2K tracking map from? I can't find it. I have several worst case storms to develop. 
The ones in this thread are great.

Re: Hypothetical Hurricanes
This is an example of the next 1991 Halloween Nor'easter (Perfect Storm), in my opinion
Hurricane Tori was the final hurricane and tropical cyclone of the season, forming from a mesoscale vortex on December 23. It became a tropical depression on December 24 west of Bermuda, and was named on Christmas morning. Sheer was incredibly high, but because of Tori's hybrid characteristics, the storm remained nearly unaffected. Late on December 26th, Recon found a surprising windspeed of 80kts at flight level, and Tori was upgraded to a hurricane at only 997mbar. The next advisory showed the pressure had deepened to 989mbar, while winds had increased 85kts. Tori, although it had a wide open eye, had more characteristics of a small nor'easter than a tropical cyclone, only lacking a fontal boundary. The hybrid hurricane became extratropical, even though convection was still wrapping around a clear eye. The NHC stopped advisories, despite the fact that the storm had never been stronger. The hurricane-like storm hit Nova Scotia on December 29th, and stalled. A large ridge of high pressure to its east began to bring the storm into a situation that had been feared for days. The storm expanded, and drifted back over Nova Scotia, bringing high seas, and heavy rain to the city of Halifax. The storm became trapped in between the giant ridge and a trough to its west, completely stopping over Halifax. The storms large windfield brought gale winds all the way to Massachusettes. The storm finally dissipated on January 2nd over Canada. Damages from the remnants of Hurricane Tori reached into the 3-4 billion USD range, causing over 65 fatalities, and over 20 inches of rain. Although temperatures were not low enough to cause snow, they were in the 30-40 degree farenheit range. The mild winter quickly became harsher a few days later, with temperatures fallining into the teens. The name Tori was not operationally retired, for the same reason Grace was not retired in 1991. However, considering that the "Perfect Storm" was fromed from Grace and another low, and the "Cold Hurricane" formed from Tori alone, the WMO retired the name Tori the next year. Tori was the first tropical cyclone ever to be retired strictly by its extratropical damages. Tori was declared extratropical at 0600UTC on January 1, it still had 65kt winds at the time, making it the second hurricane ever to cross between two calender years.

I've never actually done an NYC doomsday... what is wrong with me?
LOL. To be totally honest, I've never made a tropical cyclone hit NYC. And, the only Miami storm was a category two. No NOLA storms. I've made a hurricane hit just south of Houston as a cat 5, though. Hurricane Scott, formed in the central Gulf on October 25th, bombing out and making landfall on Halloween.
