Does anyone know a source of historical tropical storms that have made landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula. Obviously, the longer the record the better, but even if I can find reliable data over the last couple of decades, it would help.
Thanks.

As far as just the data, you can search the hurricane database best track data in text form from 1851-1987:

For graphics, I use either Unisys:

Or the Coastal Services Center plotter. You can select a location on the Yucatan and search all years since 1851 for any storm type (TS or Cat 1-5) in any month and get a nice plot.

For example, I went to the interface and chose "Place Name", Mexico, and Cozumel. Then I selected all Cat 3-4-5 hurricanes in August passing within 100nm of Cozumel and got:
