The last major Georgia hit?

#1 Postby JQ Public » Mon Aug 30, 2004 6:07 pm

I've always wondered when/if GA would ever be hit by any hurricane or tropical storm for that matter. I am not too good with hurricane history, but i was just wondering when Georgia was last hit by a major hurricane/tropical storm of note? Are they even as prepared as some of the freqently targeted areas like the carolina's, gulf coast, and fl?

The last direct strike from a hurricane was Hurricane David hitting Savannah, GA as a CAT 1 back in 1979 ...

The last direct MAJOR hurricane was 1898 ...
