Hurricane Lili in 2002 was a cat 4 on my birthday.Opal was growing on my birthday and hurricane conditions were felt in San Diego on my birthday in 1858.

I dont remember the storm but when I was 5 or 6 (early to mid 1970s) I remember seeing a satellite pic of a TC in the paper and cutting it out and taping it to my wall.

The first storm I made some feeble attempt to track and follow was Frederic although Hugo is where my interest really took off.

HURRICANE NEAREST TO MY BIRTHDAY...

Hurricane Andrew from 1992. I was born on the day right after Andrew. I was born in southern Florida. It made landfall near Homestead, Florida.

FIRST HURRICANE I HEARD OF...

I think it was also Hurricane Andrew from 1992.

FIRST STORM I STARTED TO TRACK...

I think it was Hurricane Floyd from 1999, though I am not positive!
