Ethel is not possible.
In the modern era, errors are small and far between. But they make most errors when a hurricane enters the Caribbean at a low latitude and when a storm explodes and then implodes in the GOM. Charley last year was a big error, and so were Emily in the beginning and Ivan until it entered the GOM. Mitch was also a big error.
In history it could be the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, Labor Day 1935, or Long Island Express 1938. But I am not really sure.
