More Records For 2004 Hurricane Season
|
Here's a couple more records that this year's hurricane season can add to its tally:
1) Matthew making landfall on the Louisiana coast brings the USA total to 9 landfalling systems this year. 1985 and 2002 each had 8 systems make landfall.
2) Charley, Ivan and Jeanne were all major hurricane (cat 3 and above) landfalls in the USA. That is also a record. Going back to 1888, 6 previous years each had two major hurricane landfalls, but no year has ever had 3 strike the USA in the same season.
