Great information there and it will be helpful for the members and newbies to look at all the landfalls that haved occured in the US since 1851.Thanks SF for posting it.

Nice!!

Thanks SF...

This now makes this dataset:

1. More reliable.
2. Loadable into database form.
3. Much more accurate.

now...I (or anyone else) can pull this data into a database and do much better analysis than if I had to figure out storm by storm and year by year landfall data in terms of location and intensity.

This also means that I can apply this against the climatological stuff I already have (or already available) to run some statistical looks at landfall trends by year. I can probably finish that cold SE TX Jan vs. landfall correlation stuff I said I would work on with better precision.

If anyone has any analysis requests let me know here or in a PM and I can see what I can cook up...

Thanks again Storms.....

For the SE Texas Snowfall ... look no further than Hurricane Claudette 2003 ... falls within my correlation range ...

you're welcome, Mike ...glad I could help ..

There seems to be a minor descrepency with that information. 1964, August, Hurricane Cleo.

Cat 4, http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/atl ... /track.gif
could this be just a glich?

I stood in the Eye of Cleo, and that is where it all began.

I can not seem to edit my own posts, *Reason for this Method*

The information on the AOML is now the current data, and UNISYS will update as soon as they receive the new information from AOML/HURDAT/NHC...

Just makes a person wonder about the facts and shared information about systems that have happened more than 40 years ago.

Wow, my state got hit more than I thought. But, no major hits in my lifetime. Well, I went through Andrew when I was just turning 16. That is the only time I experienced hurricane force winds. But, I was not in the eye. The eye passed 25 miles to my west around Morgan City. But, I love hearing my parents stories about Betsy when they were in the eye. And I hear some of the oldtimers stories about Audrey. My neighbor is 92 years old and still remembers the storm of 1926 very well. She was only around 14 at the time. We were in the eye wall and had winds of 120 here. The Houma area has been very fortunate over the years. If we get anything above a 1 here, and we can kiss the bayou towns of Chauvin, Dularge, Dulac, Montegut goodbye. Even Houma itself will be underwater. Even Grand Isle has been lucky over the years. No major direct hit since Betsy, I believe. Grand Isle used to have hits very frequently.
