Link about US Hurricanes:

[David Powell]

Hey Aussie Friends: Well, Hurricane Ida--a rare November Hurricane--looks soon to strike to Gulf Coast, near the Alabama/Florida border. Question comes up as to if there have been any other November Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico: I've found a link with US States that have been impacted by Hurricanes, their dates and strength; Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_hurricanes Map at top of page is clickable. You may care to scroll down to the heading of: States Bordering the Atlantic Ocean (also Gulf of Mexico). Hurricane names (or Unnamed) in blue, are ones you can click on for more information about that storm.   Florida was impacted by a Cat 1 (Unnamed) Hurricane on Dec. 1, 1925 (but I don't know if this was in the Gulf or the Atlantic Ocean. The Yankee Hurricane of Nov. 4, 1935 hit NE of Miami and drifted SW into the Gulf. So, it looks like Ida is fairly rare indeed.   Kind Wishes~~~David Powell

Hi David, I was just thinking how late in the year this one is myself. I used to know of a section of the NHC's site that showed a breakdown of all past hurricanes for each region by month but they seemed to have replaced it with a viewer that doesn't do a monthly breakdown. There's a graphic on there that shows monthly stats but not for specific regions like the Gulf. I've probably missed something though.
At least for coastal residents, Ida's weakened slightly although the storm surge graphic still show a hazard to them.
 
Ken.
