Which East Coast Hurricane since 1995 was the Worst

[Derek Ortt]

lets hear your opinions. Charley and Wilma are included here

[HURAKAN]

[NetZero06]

Why is Rita here? Because it brushed the keys?

[Derek Ortt]

yeah,

only consider Rita's effect on the Keys

[Coredesat]

I voted Isabel. Unlike the other thread, I've been through a lot of these, so I can't make one of those "whoops, forgot to look at the statistics" mistakes. I almost voted for Frances, though.

[Jim Cantore]

I voted Floyd for 2 reasons

1. Personal experence

2. It was the costliest storm to hit North Carolina and at the time was the deadliest U.S hurricane in 27 years

[Derek Ortt]

I voted for Charley because it leveled Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte, plus hit Orlando hard, but it also went on to affect the entire East Coast. Only one on the list to do so

[quandary]

My vote goes to Floyd because of its underappreciated strength (155mph and either 921mb or 917mb) and the immense flooding. This was biblical flooding ... wasn't the entire eastern half of NC under water or something like that? It took flood waters over three weeks to recede. (are my facts straight here?)

All I know is there was $4.5 Billion in damage and over 60 deaths and by todays standards thats still a bad hurricane

1# Charley
2# Floyd
3# Isabel
4# Wilma
5# Katrina

Floyd for me.

You could measure some of its rainfall totals in feet from NC up to NJ, and, as was mentioned up above, a very deadly storm.

Some places around here are still coming back from the storm, even 6 years after.

We almost never hurricanes here but we were part of Floyds floodathon

record rainfall totals and flooding from it

[Brent]

Charley, then Floyd.

[f5]

if Andrew were listed he would get all the votes the same way Katrina would on the gulf side

[KWT]

Has to be Charley for me, though Isabel and Flyod are a close tied second.

[Scorpion]

I would say Charley with Floyd second and Isabel third.

[Hurricaneman]

Floyd

[john potter]

Floyd, then Isabel, then Charley. Floyd kept a lot of its intensity over the Chesapeake Bay, through eastern Pennsylvania and up into New York State. In Federalsburg, MD (near Ocean City), I measured 11.30 inches rainfall in 6 hours from Floyd. Isabel's NW angle of attack produced the worst hurrricane surge in 100 years throughout the Chesapeake Bay region. To my mind, Charley was the most video-documented category 4 hurricane ever experienced.

[Derek Ortt]

a little surprised that Rita received 2 votes, while Georges received none

[brunota2003]

Isabel!!! I cant believe the only hurricane beating Isabel is Charley, and thats by one vote!!! I got alot of video during Isabel here to!!! lol
