dennis was 'the' strongest july hurricane. nothing stronger in the historical database (though i'm sure there have been others). -HF




I thought Emily beat out Dennis as THE strongest July hurricane ever. Dennis peaked at 937mb, 150 mph; Emily peaked at 929mb, 155mph.....

my mistake, you're right... emily was stronger. dennis did have a central pressure measured at 930mb in the gulf.. the winds at the time were clocked at 150mph. so dennis was #1 for all of six days. -HF
