Hurricanes Irma and Harvey Mark the First Time Two Atlantic Category 4
US Landfalls Have Occurred in the Same Year

Story Highlights

Harvey and Irma both made a US landfall as Category 4 hurricanes.

Two Atlantic hurricanes of this intensity have never made landfall
during the same year in the US

For the first time in 166 years of weather records, 2 Atlantic
Category 4 hurricanes have made landfall in the United States during
the same year.

Hurricane Irma's landfall in the Florida Keys with 130 mph winds on
Sun morning clinched this historic event. It comes just 16 days
after Hurricane Harvey roared into Rockport, TX, with maximum
sustained winds also at 130 mph.

The winds for a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane
Wind Scale range from 130 mph to 156 mph. Winds of that strength are
capable of causing catastrophic damage.

Category 4 or stronger Atlantic hurricane landfalls in the US are a
rare occurrence with only 27 documented since 1851, including Harvey
and Irma. Three of those 27 landfalls were Category 5 hurricanes.

Harvey's Category 4 strike on TX was the first to occur in the
US since Charley hammered southwest Florida in 2004. Before that, no
landfalls of that strength had happened since Andrew's destructive hit
on South Florida as a Category 5 in 1992.

Florida has experienced the most Category 4 or stronger landfalls with
13, while TX is second with 7 landfalls of that intensity.

While this is the first time 2 Atlantic hurricanes have made
landfall at Category 4 or stronger intensity, it has happened before
if you include the Pacific Ocean.

As previously mentioned, Andrew made landfall in South Florida as a
Category 5 in 1992. That same year Hurricane Iniki made landfall as a
Category 4 on Hawaii's Kauai Island.

Hah! What about BEFORE 166 years ago? WAY before.
