Yes San Juan is on the north coast of Puerto Rico and here we did get the worst of it as the strongest part was on the northeastern quadrant.

Thanks isobar but this thread is about pics and radars of the most intense hurricanes so let's see if I can find some more pics and radars but all here can post pics too and make this thread a gallery of pics.

Thanks Shannon for that spectacular pic of Mitch but it killed thousands in centralamerica.

This is Georges just about to make landfall in the east coast of Puerto Rico.

Yes Shannon scary stuff in that pic and I can tell you that in that position of the eye entering the Dominican Republic here in San Juan 30-50 mph winds still were blowing and heavy rain from the tail end of it.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to post the Atlantic Parade of Storms loop on my website due its file size. My server will not allow me to upload files over 5mb in size. Sorry about that...I'll try to find the link for that file and post it here.

Nice one, King of Weather! I experienced Hurricane Gloria in southeastern Massachusetts in late September 1985. I remember a lot of trees falling in the woods behind our house. It had quite a [long] track, too.

I lived in Ocean City Md when that came thru...It took most of the boardwalk with it. I lived in a condo on the bay side and the building next to mine lost its roof! :o ..The whole town was a mess. I have yet to hear winds blow like i did with that storm when it passed by in the early morning hours...Either way this is the storm that got me into the canes.. I remember watching this cane on twc with John Hope from the time it moved off the africa coast and all the way till it hit my area and then the Ne.

I remember this event for the most part. For someone with a good memory, "Georges" location with "Ivan," "Jeanne"
and "Karl." out in the Atlantic don't ring a bell. Quite annoying.

It makes sense that the August 1995 event, with four tropical features in the western Atlantic is a memorable event.

Pic of Lili as a cat 4 at the time but Louisiana was spared from the worst of it because it weakened before landfall.Brein,Bonnie and those who live in that state will remember this one for years to come.

Very impressive! They do bring back memories, don't they? For some more than others! :o

Look at this eye of that monster hurricane that was Gilbert in that pic just about to make landfall at Jamaica.

Gilbert scared me more than any other hurricane in my life. That sucker (plus outflow) took up the entire Gulf of Mexico. Good thing Gilbert was one of those forward momentum storms, else whomever would have been its path after recurvature would have been in some deep stuff. Many of those other brought back memories. The eyewalls of Andrew and Mitch are just plain scary. You don't see storms with that type of embedded insanity every year.

Last year I found an all time favorite that no one thought existed. I swore up in down last year in chat to JimW that there existed a radar loop of Hurricane Andrew at landfall and crossing the state of Florida. It exists, but I think the link I found it on is now dead. It was either out of Naples, Venice or Tampa and shows the storm blazing its trail across South Florida. Too bad, cause it's an awesome loop.

I often joke about large things being "the size of Texas". Well Gilbert WAS actually the size of Texas. I should start describing things as "the size of Gilbert". :wink:

I think the tightest eye was '35 Labor Day at 8 miles. :o
