1882/01: No major changes from this newly documented hurricane
by Partagas and Diaz (1996). Storm is determined to have reached hurricane
intensity based upon reports from the ships "Case" and "Ida".
********************************************************************************
1882/02: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), who made large
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1993), originally storm
number 1. These track changes are found to be reasonable. 981 mb central
pressure suggests winds of 76 kt from the southern wind-pressure
relationship - 80 kt chosen for best track. 961 mb central pressure
corresponds to 94 kt from the subtropical latitude wind-pressure
relationship - 90 kt chosen for best track. 949 mb central pressure
corresponds to 103 kt from the subtropical wind-pressure relationship -
100 kt chosen for best track. 1000 mb central pressure suggests 49 kt
from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 50 kt chosen for best track.
A pressure reading of 980 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 06 UTC on
the 4th of September) suggests winds of at least 78 kt from the southern
wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt chosen for the best track. A pressure
reading of 986 mb not in the hurricane's center (at 18 UTC on the 5th)
suggests winds of at least 70 kt from the southern wind-pressure
relationship - 70 kt chosen for the best track. Inland decay model of
Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the S.E. United
States. Storm is determined to have reached major hurricane intensity
based upon central pressure reading of 949 mb from the ship "Cato" while
over the Gulf of Mexico.

Re-analysis effort by Perez (2000) has analyzed this hurricane as a
Category 2 landfall in Cuba, instead of a Category 1 assigned in HURDAT.
Winds are adjusted accordingly on the 4th and 5th. Perez' track was slightly
farther north on the 5th and 6th, so the latitudes on those dates have also
been changed accordingly. Track altered slightly on the 8th and 9th to
provide a more realistic translational velocity.

07570 HR LA2CTX1
Roth (1997a,b) documents a newly described system that made landfall
along the U.S. coastline near the Texas-Louisiana border:
"A strong tropical storm hit the mouth of the Sabine River. A "terrific wind
and rain storm" caused damage to homes in Sabine Pass, Tx. The Lake Charles
Echo, La. reported it as a "hurricane" that destroyed a house and injured
its occupant. Streets in town were covered by 3 feet of water. Fences were
blown over a mile from their previous location. That night [the 14th], a
"Hard wind and rain" visited Lake Charles, described as a lively gale". Port
Eads, La. had winds of 70 m.p.h. and a pressure of 29.38". Abbeville, La.
reported no damage with the storm."
From this description a rough track of the storm was created that goes
from southeast to northwest, making landfall just east of Sabine Pass.
Storm surge modeling (B. Jarvinen, personal communication) suggests that
3' of standing water in the streets of Lake Charles requires a Category 2
at landfall. Thus this system is estimated as 90 kt at landfall. The
inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds
over Texas and Louisiana.

1882/04: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), (was originally
storm #3 in the Partagas and Diaz report). Track unaltered from Neumann
et al. (1993), their storm number 2. 1005 mb central pressure corresponds
to 40 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship, which is utilized
as the best track intensity value. The best track provided appears to
describe the full life cycle of this tropical cyclone (from its formation
as a tropical storm until its dissipation below tropical storm intensity).

1882/05: No major changes from this newly documented hurricane from

1882/06: No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996), (was originally
storm #5 in the Partagas and Diaz report). Track unaltered from Neumann
et al. (1993), their storm number 3. 975 mb central pressure corresponds
to 84 kt in the southern wind-pressure relationship - 90 kt chosen for
best track. 981 mb central pressure corresponds to 76 kt of sustained
winds from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt utilized in
best track. Inland decay model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for
inland winds over Florida and Georgia. Storm is determined to have been
of hurricane intensity while in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico based
upon these central pressure readings, ship reports and a 9 foot storm
tide experienced at the mouth of the Colona River, Cuba. Storm regained
hurricane intensity while over the Atlantic based upon several ship
reports.

Re-analysis effort by Perez (2000) has analyzed this hurricane as a
Category 4 landfall in Cuba, instead of a Category 2 assigned in HURDAT.
The pressure values of 975 mb and 981 mb on 00 and 06Z on the 9th are
found to be peripheral pressures, instead of central pressures based upon
additional information provided by Perez (2000). Winds are adjusted
accordingly on the 4th and 5th.
