1855/01:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis.  No track available, only one point.  Storm determined to have been a hurricane based upon destruction in Tampico.

1855/02:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane status from multiple ship reports.

1855/03:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis.  No track available, only one point.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane status from the ship "Walverine".

1855/04:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis. Utilized the southern wind-pressure relationship for ship with central pressure observation of 997 mb to get 53 kt, using 50 kt in best track. Review of this storm in conjunction with the 1855/05 hurricane reveals that they may be the same system.  However, without more supporting evidence for the intervening days (of August 28-30) between the systems, we are opting to keep these as separate storms.

1855/05:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis.  Storm determined to have reached hurricane status from observations from ships "Catherine" and "Rebecca".  Review of this hurricane in conjunction with the 1855/04 tropical storm reveals that they may be the same system.   However, without more supporting evidence for the intervening days (of  August 28-30) between the systems, we are opting to keep these as separate storms.

1855/06:  No major changes from Partagas and Diaz's (1995a) analysis for track.  Ludlum (1963) describes that "the tide at places between Lake Ponchartrain and Bay St. Louis was said to have risen ten to fifteen feet above normal high tide."  Storm determined to have reached major hurricane status at landfall based upon storm surge and destruction along Louisiana and Mississippi.  Inland winds over SE US reduced via Kaplan and DeMaria's (1995) inland decay model.
