Good morning, all...the discussion of the CV cyclones and their historical tracks led me to go back to NHC archives and Unisys(1851 to present) and pull out the significant systems forming at or east of 35degW(which is 1000km western limit for CV designation). Significant here is defined to be a US, Canadian or Caribbean landfall of a Cat 1 or stronger hurricane. The list is longer than you may think. Obviously, few of these systems reached hurricane strength east of 35degW. I certainly agree with UST that a stronger system is likely to recurve east of the Caribbean.
