- It started off south of Cape Verde. When it was north of the Lesser Antilles, It had Category 4 status. Most people thought this very strong hurricane was heading up as any hurricane would do, but it didn't. East of the Bahamas it still had Category 4 status. In 6 hours, it was a Category 5 and slammed into the Bahamas and plummels Jupiter, Florida at 180mph. From Bahamas there were 28 water spouts. It rapidly weaked to a Category 4 after passing though Florida. It head south and touched the tip of Cuba, Belize, and Mexico, at 160mph. It was then 175mph very quickly after Mexico, and then was a stunning 190mph. It striked Louisiana at 195mph and a little of Texas and made landfall, flattening houses and ripping out sidewalks, shattering windows. Major storm surge up to 39 feet was recorded

| - Kate was a nightmarish Cape Verde storm. Kate ravaged the Caribbean islands and South Florida. Kate formed as Tropical Depression thirteen just off of the Cape Verde Islands. The depression slowly organized and became a tropical storm on the 6th. Kate continued to slowly organize and nearly dissipated twice. Kate was upgraded to a hurricane on the 9th on the sole reason. Bands of 80 mph winds were found near the center. Kate continued to move west with barely any change in intensity. Kate became better organized on the 11th, and was upgraded to a Category 2 hurricane. Kate continued to move on a northwest track and was upgraded to a Category 3 hurricane as it neared Jamaica. Kate became a Category 4 on the 13th and struck Grand Cayman that night. Kate continued to intensify and neared Category 5 intensity before making landfall on the Isle of Youth. Kate's passage over the island significantly weakened the hurricane and by the time it emerged into the Gulf of Mexico, Kate was barely a Category 2 hurricane. On the 15th, Kate began to rapidly intensify over the loop current, and was a powerful 180-mph Category 5 by evening. Kate continued northeast and on the 16th, Kate made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane near Tampa, Florida. Kate moved northeast through the state, and amazingly maintained Category 4 status. Kate moved toward the North Carolina coast, and struck on the 18th with winds of 120-mph; making it the strongest hurricane to strike the state since Hazel in 1954. Kate began to slowly weaken and remained a hurricane until reaching 50.0 N. On the 22nd, Kate became the first tropical cyclone to strike Greenland. Kate became extratropical shortly thereafter.
- It started off south of Cape Verde. When it was north of the Lesser Antilles, It had Category 4 status. Most people thought this very strong hurricane was heading up as any hurricane would do, but it didn't. East of the Bahamas it still had Category 4 status.

It rapidly weaked to a Category 4 after passing though Florida. It head south and touched the tip of Cuba, Belize, and Mexico, at 160mph. It was then 175mph very quickly after Mexico, and then was a stunning 190mph. It striked Louisiana at 195mph and a little of Texas and made landfall, flattening houses and ripping out sidewalks, shattering windows. Major storm surge up to 39 feet was recorded. It spawned 92 tornadoes Some in Florida, and mostly Louisiana. It then weaked to a Category 4 hurricane and very quickly went down as a Category 1 hurricane, turning to the right, hitting Alabama as a Category 1, and South Carolina, Mississipi, and North Carolina as a Tropical Storm and Depression.
