Yeah that does look pretty scary especially with Charley firing up right now. I dont think there ever was a season that had 2 named tropical systems strike the same state within a 7 day period, or am I wrong? In 1996, Fran hit the exact same stretch of land that Bertha hit just 8 weeks prior but that is all I remember.

Well the and State resources will be stressed... The current flooded state and a couple hours of 50+ mph winds would be making a mess from Bonnie.. Charlie has potential for serious life threat..Fema could be drained before the week is out if both are Canes..

How quickly people forget.

Louisiana had Isidore and Lili back in '02. Both were hurricanes, but Isidore wound up a tropical storm just before landfall.

Hurricane Isidore was a slow-moving tropical cyclone that hit western Cuba as a category 1 hurricane (on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) and the northern Yucatan Peninsula as a category 3 hurricane. It made landfall on the Louisiana coast as a strong tropical storm. It made landfall Sept. 26th.

Hurricane Lili crossed western Cuba as a category two hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale and made landfall on the Louisiana coast as a category one hurricane. Lili also affected the Windward Islands as a tropical storm, the northeastern Cayman Islands as a category one hurricane and caused serious rainfall flooding in Jamaica. Thirteen deaths are attributed to Lili. Lili reached category four intensity over the Gulf of Mexico. It made landfall on Oct. 3rd.

Looks like a 7 day spread to me.
