Interesting 1947 track and online plotter

There's a good online plotter with storm archives here:

There's a very interesting track for the Fourth (no name) storm of the 1947 season. In fact, all of 1947 was interesting for Florida.
Although the 4th storm was farther south on this date, its path gets very similar to what I fear from Isabel, and the dates are eerily similar -- NN4 reached the Florida coast Sept 17, after tracking northwest from the Leewards to the Bahamas, and then turning West under the influence of (what I assume was) a strengthening ridge...

BTW, you need ShockWave to run the online plotter -- it will download if you need it and accept the download. Might require IE 5 or above.
