2004 - 2005 United States Tropical Cyclones Strikes

[HURAKAN]

It's said that a picture is worth a thousand words!

Note: Some storms appear in the map twice because of multiple landfalls in the US.

and Emily also caused damage to the USA. Passed about as close to Brownsville as Rita did to Key West

Great graphic HURAKAN. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing how many storms have impacted the U.S. the last two years.

How different this is from a couple years ago when everyone was complaining about the lack of hurricane "excitement" in the USA. From October 1999 when Irene struck South Florida, there was not a US hurricane landfall until Lili hit Louisiana in October, 2002.....almost 3 years of no hurricane activity at all in the US. Sure, we had a few tropical storms, but I can remember many Storm2k members lamenting the boring hurricane seasons we were "enduring". I bet those same people would like to return to the nice boring days of 2000 and 2001 in light of what we have just experienced in the past 2 years.....

Great graphic, it has been a rough 16 months for the US coast and surronding areas.

I had a close encounter with a tornado in 2000 when I was 12 years old and that experience taught me to never wish for bad weather again....

[wxwatcher91]

correct me if Im wrong, didnt Charley also make landfall on Cape Cod as a weak tropical storm?

awesome map though! great job!

Thanks for the tip, already fixed, and Thanks for finding it interesting!

Very good map, almost running out of states without impacts, insane.

Was Ivan a TS at its second landfall at LA/TX border or had it weakened to a TD before landfall, I cant' remember and I am too tired to look it up.

Well, that was the initial analysis, Best Track data will differ. But since Charley did impact Long Island and Cape Cod I guess that necesitates it to be put on the map.

Have you ever notice Tampa Bay, how our region from Sarasota to Tampa has been sort of "missed" for years/decades now. I'm not feeling good at all about the upcoming years. Katrina has really made me reconsider living here...

[Ixolib]

Cool map... Didn't Katrina have a "third" landfall?????

Yep, I was wondering that myself...the one at Stennis Space Center.
