Edna 1954
Gerda 1969
Carol 1953

Looks like Carol missed Main by maybe 80 miles:

Storm #3 in 1858 hit Rhode Island then went into southern Maine as a Cat 1.

Well, I could go on, but I'll let you click on every year since 1900. I went through 1851-1899 for you (above):

Tropical Storm #5 - 1932

Hurricane #4 - 1940 (not a direct landfall but a VERY close brush as a TS)

Hurricane #9 - 1943 (another very close brush as a TS.. same landfalling area as 1940 #4)

Hurricane #7 - 1944 (paralleled very closely to the Maine coast as a TS)

Spooky! I do 1851-1899 and post it almost the same minute as you post 1900-1950. If someone else posts 1951-2002 as I write this...... :o
