3 day hurricane

#1 Postby Cookiely » Mon Jan 16, 2006 7:25 am

Does anyone have any links to info on the hurricane of 1878. What category was this and what track did it take? What would be the cost in todays terms if a similar storm hit today?

The 1878 storm that I am referring to went up the center of Florida and lasted for three days. Any storm track on this storm?
