Historical precedent?

#1 Postby Houstonia » Fri Jul 08, 2005 1:32 am

I am looking at the Wunderground historical tracking map:

http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/tr ... climo.html

It shows only ONE cat 3,4, or 5 hurricane within 600 miles of Dennis's location. This since 1851?!?

Is this possible? No other cat 3-5 hurricanes have gone where Dennis is going now?

It is entirely likely that I am reading this chart wrong. Could someone help me out?

thanks.

Not in the month of July. August and September, sure, but only one other in July.

wunderground only shows other JULY storms. July Majors are VERY RARE.
