Who said March is an inactive month in the Atlantic?

This is not another of those doomsday things but it occured for real many years ago.

This system in March,1908 became a cat 2 hurricane at it's peak with 85kts.And look at the track moving from the NE to SW from the Atlantic to the Caribbean Sea.I coulden't find information about how this Cyclone formed.Maybe it was from a tail end of a Cold Front or from an Upper Low that went to the surface.But regardless about how it formed this shows that if conditions turn marginally right in March anything is possible to form into a Cyclone in the Atlantic.

I believe there are storms in every month of the year, (or thought I'd read that somewhere) it's just that in sheer numbers they're very rare out-of-season.

Wasn't there a horrific one that hit around Swan Island around 1955 or thereabout? (Thought it began with a J... but memory on it is cloudy)

One in more than 150 years, not bad score!

By the way, this goes mainly to the Spanish-speaking members, I did a summary a few days ago about this system in http://www.tormenta.net , a website owned by John Morales, and updated mainly by me!

March won't be alone for long! According to Hurdat, a storm in 1921 formed in the north-central Atlantic on March 25.
