What the HECK?

My question is: When did the first 3 tropical systems all become hurricanes and the all hit US.

HUZZAH! Found it!

In 1916, Hurricane 1 smashed into the Biloxi area in early July.
Hurricane 2 clipped Long Island and Cape Cod later that month.
At about the same time, Hurricae 3 slogged ashore north of Charleston.

Note that there may have been other storms out there, but those are the frst three recorded. All made hurricane and all hit the mainland.

Thanks! That was fun!

What does the NWS in Raleigh say about all this? The forecasts appear to be pretty good for central NC this weekend...

Well, let's see....hmmm! Looks like they figure the leftovers of Bonnie will be over Greensboro at about 8 a.m. Friday, with chunks of Charley visiting South of the Border at 8 a.m. Saturday, moving north-northeast. At that course, it would pass to the east of RDU, but hit Fayetteville. Either way, I can't see getting much golf in this weekend.

Doesn't sound too bad at all! Maybe it'll be spotty showers in Raleigh this weekend afterall!!!
