That's because, bascially, there isn't one.
It is truly one of a kind storm. It was a true superstorm.

March 1993:
On March 12, 1993, a newly formed cyclone moved into a low level baroclinic zone already in place over the Gulf of Mexico and began to rapidly intensify. The deepening cyclone turned northeastward (Fig 1.1) and the center of low pressure made landfall (Fig 1.2) in northwestern Florida during the early hours of March 13. An intense squall line (Fig 1.3) preceding a rapidly moving cold front raced across Florida with torrential downpours, wind gusts in excess of 40 m/s, 3-4 meter storm surges and 11 confirmed tornado touchdowns (Radar Loop (QT-800K)).
Recorded Wind Gusts
Mount Washington, NH 144 MPH
Franklin County, FL 110 MPH
Dry Tortugas, FL 109 MPH
Flattop Mountain, NC 101 MPH

I remember this one. It was an invest that has an STDS issued for it but made landfall in north carolina before it could become a depression, it got absorbed by a frontal system and was part of a huge flood event in this area.

Except that article makes the mistake of calling it subtropical and then saying that subtropical is the same thing as a hybrid . . . that (at least operationally) was called/appeared hybrid. I wouldn't want to say what it was for sure without doing some brief looking into it, but it was nonetheless an interesting storm.

1992 was not one of the better years for the official classifications. Andrew may have been Danielle (Andrew in reality may have been a strong TS/weak cane that hit Virginia in January... a low had a distinct warm core with the highest winds not too far from the center... probably better defined than the classified Danielle)

Anyway, two October 1997 East Atlantic hurricanes.
October 6, 1997
October 26, 1997
1997 seems a little more interesting than just Danny and Erika now, eh?
