What about the loop by Hurricane Esther of 1961 before striking the NE coast. Which also lead to a rather rapid weakening cycle.

Tom - thanks for posting the tracking map on Kyle. Plus Kyle was around for 23 days, which is pretty long for an Atlantic tropical system (although not a record).

How about Ginny in 1963... teased the SE coast twice before hitting Nova Scotia.

When this storm made landfall, it transitioned into an extratropical storm and dumped 18 inches of snow in northern Maine.

Hurricane Esther would have been a storm to experience in eastern Massachusetts. It occurred 16 years before I was born. :o

Same with Hurricane Ginny in 1963, only the reverse in my location and being 14 years before I was born. I used to live about 400 miles south-southwest of northern Maine.

The Galveston hurricane of 1900 would certainly fall into the catagory of strange tracks, Westward and Northward. I "think" it was still a hurricane in Chicago. Of course it was the deadliest ever. Eight to twelve thousand died.

According to the Unisys track Map, the Galveston Hurricane was a tropical storm until it made it's way into Southern Iowa. However, upon further review and reanalysis under the AOML reanalysis project, The Galveston Hurricane was reanalyzed to have weakened into a tropical storm short of reaching Dallas, and become a tropical depression around OKC. Shortly thereafter, it became extratropical and strengthened into quite a powerhouse of an extratropical system.

The 1906 SW Florida Hurricane struck the Florida Keys as a Category 4 Hurricane then looked destined to strike South Carolina --when it started a SW motion which took it ashore in Florida for the 3rd time as a Tropical Storm this time.

Hey Woodstock....where did you find the Galveston hurricane map that has 964mb as min pressure? It should be 931mb....

weatherluvr · #35 Postby **weatherluvr** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 6:51 pm

Wow, that track looks like a swan... or maybe a cobra ready to strike

scroll down and they have maps dating back into the late 1800s, but I don't know how accurate they are.

Wow... good find ...

Albeit rare, this is proof of a southwesterly moving tropical cyclone in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.
