No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  Winds reduced from
the 4th to the 6th since there were no observations in Cuba of a strong
tropical storm or hurricane.  Based upon the 72 mph sustained wind out of 
the north at Pensacola reported in _Monthly Weather Review_, the Category 2 
(85 kt) at landfall originally in HURDAT appears reasonable.  Inland decay 
model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the 
Southeast U.S.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations to
the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  These track changes are found to be 
reasonable.  Boose et al. (2003) analyze the wind-caused damage for this 
hurricane at landfall in Puerto Rico as only isolated Fujita-scale F1 damage, 
which does not support intensity as a major hurricane landfall.  Winds are 
reduced accordingly on the 31st and 1st to Category 2 (85 kt) intensity.  Perez
(2000 and personal communication) indicate that this hurricane produced only 
tropical storm conditions over Cuba during its close trek just offshore the 
coast.  Thus winds are reduced somewhat on the 3rd through the 5th.  A central 
pressure of 956 mb at 00Z on the 7th suggests winds of 98 kt from the 
subtropical wind-pressure relationship - 100 kt is utilized in the best track.
Winds adjusted from the 5th to the 9th accordingly.  Hurricane is determined
from wind observations to be a Category 1 hurricane in New England; winds
adjusted accordingly from the 9th to the 11th.  Winds at landfall (Category 1)
and inland agree with assessment by Boose et al. (2001), based upon modeling
of wind-caused damages.  Boose et al. (2001) also estimated a RMW of 30 nmi.
Hurricane is known as "San Ramon Nonato III" or "San Gil" for its impacts in 
Puerto Rico.

The only major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who otherwise made
reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), 
is to use the track analyzed by Sandrik et al. (2001) near the landfall in 
the United States.  Winds reduced from the 22nd until the 27th since 
observations from Partagas and Diaz only support intensification to 
hurricane status as it approached Cuba.  Perez (2001) analyzes the impacts 
of this hurricane as Category 1 in Cuba, consistent with the track chosen 
as just offshore the west tip of Cuba as a major hurricane.  Sandrik et al. 
(2001) analyzed the landfall as a 960 mb hurricane in Florida with a 15 nmi 
radius of maximum winds.  This central pressure suggests 100 kt from the 
Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship.  With a smaller than usual RMW 
for this central pressure and latitude (22 nmi on average - Vickery et al. 
2000) and a rapid forward motion (30 kt at landfall), winds are estimated at 
110 kt at landfall.  A 963 mb central pressure estimated via Ho's methodology 
for 12Z on the 29th suggests 92 kt from the subtropical wind-pressure 
relationship - 100 kt chosen due to small RMW and fast speed of motion 
although the hurricane is overland.  A 973 mb central pressure estimated via 
Ho's methodology for 18Z on the 29th suggests winds of 83 kt for maximum
sustained winds, 85 kt is chosen for the best track for the same reasons

above.  A 988 mb central pressure estimated for 00Z on the 30th suggests
winds of 65 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship, which is
boosted to 70 kt for the same reasons above.  (Note that this was 
originally recorded in HURDAT as 992 mb, which was a peripheral pressure 
measurement not a central pressure.)  Finally, an observed central pressure 
(at 04Z on the 30th) of 987 mb occurred as the storm was going extratropical.

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  Winds reduced while in Gulf of Mexico
since observations do not support hurricane status there or at landfall 
in Florida.  Winds reduced from the 13th until the 16th since observations
do not indicate hurricane intensity north of 41N or at landfall in Canada.
Small alteration to the track on the 7th provides a more realistic 
translational velocity.

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  The only observation possibly 
available for this system is from Bark "Gerald C. Tobay" on Oct. 28th at
21.2N 62.5W where "it came in a whirlwind with rain, thunder and lightning
... lasted only 20 minutes" and caused substantial damage to the ship.  As
Partagas and Diaz discussed, this ship was about 800 miles to the northwest
of the hurricane's position on the 28th.  So either the observation is 
unrelated to the hurricane or the storm was a large system with an outer 
rainband (and possible embedded tornado) that impacted the ship.  Without 
additional data for substantiating changes to HURDAT's original intensity 
estimates, no alterations are made to this hurricane.

1896 - Additional Notes:

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) mentioned one additional system considered 
for inclusion into HURDAT.  The re-analysis team agreed to leave it out 
of HURDAT for the following reason:

1) August 28-29, 1896:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  A peripheral pressure of 972 mb 
apparently close to the eye (11 UTC on the 7th) supports at least 84 kt 
from the subtropical wind-pressure relationship - 85 kt retained in the 
best track.  Extratropical stage is suggested to begin on the 10th, while 
north of 45N.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  The hurricane is
lowered to a tropical storm on the 10th, since observations in Key West 
do not indicate hurricane force had yet been reached.  The hurricane is
downgraded from Category 2 (85 kt) to Category 1 (75 kt) over the Gulf of 
Mexico and at landfall in Texas/Louisiana, due to evidence from observed winds,
6 ft of storm tide in Sabine Pass (Partagas and Diaz 1996b) and damage in 
Texas/Louisiana.  Full lifecycle of this hurricane is not known, due to lack of
information about its genesis.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  These track changes are found
to be reasonable.  Storm is boosted to a strong tropical storm at landfall 
in Florida based upon description of impacts.  Storm is boosted to a strong 
tropical storm while passing along the Atlantic seaboard, but not enough 
evidence was found to support Partagas and Diaz' suggestion to upgrade this 
to a hurricane.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 4.
These track changes are found to be reasonable.  Peripheral pressure of 
993 mb (on the 18th) suggests winds of at least 59 kt from the southern 
wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt used in best track which is consistent 
with analysis of a Category 1 landfall in Cuba (Perez 2000).  Changes made 
to the track near Cuba are consistent with modifications suggested by 
Perez (2000).  Storm is thus upgraded to a hurricane and winds are 
increased accordingly from the 17th until the 21st.  The hurricane is known 
as "Ciclon de Tunas de Zaza" due to its impacts in Cuba (Perez 2000).

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 5.  Slight
adjustments to track made on the 25th, 26th, 28th and 31st to allow for more 
realistic translational velocities.  Extratropical stage indicated for portion 
of track as it moved toward the northeast north of 36N in late October.  Full 
lifecycle of this tropical storm is not known, due to lack of information 
about its genesis.

*******************************************************************************

1897 - Additional Notes:

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) mentioned one additional system considered 
for inclusion into HURDAT.  The re-analysis team agreed to leave it out 
of HURDAT for the following reason:

1) August 15, 1897:  Damage reports in Nicaragua leave it uncertain if 
   system was a tornado or tropical storm.

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  Inland decay model of Kaplan and 
DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the Southeast U.S.  Category 1
landfall status maintained in Northwest Florida, but available observational
data (i.e., the _Monthly Weather Review_ described it as a "feeble disturbance
near Jupiter" with maximum sustained winds of 32 kt from the east on Aug.
1st) suggests that the system was only a weak tropical storm at its 
first landfall in peninsular Florida.

DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the Southeast U.S.  A
peripheral pressure (incorrectly listed as a central pressure in original
version of HURDAT) of 990 mb (at 09Z on the 31st) suggests winds of at 
least 63 kt from the subtropical wind-pressure relationship - 75 kt chosen 
for best track.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm 
number 3.  A central pressure of 965mb (on 16Z on the 11th) suggests winds of 
95 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship.  Given the estimated 
motion of the hurricane and wind reports from St. Vincent, a RMW of 15 nmi is 
analyzed which is close to the climatological RMW for that central pressure 
and latitude (14 nmi, from Vickery et al. 2000).  Thus 95 kt is chosen for 
landfall in the Lesser Antilles.  Winds are altered from the 8th to the 14th
accordingly.

The major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), was to incorporate the 
findings of Sandrik and Jarvinen (1999).  Partagas and Diaz otherwise made
reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), 
A central pressure of 977 mb (on 18Z on the 27th) suggests winds of 81 kt 
from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 80 kt used in the best track.  
Winds adjusted on the 26th to the 28th accordingly.  Sandrik and Jarvinen 
(1999) analyzed a 938 mb central pressure at landfall based upon SLOSH runs 
with observed storm surge values (16' maximum at Brunswick, Georgia) and an 
estimated RMW of 18 n.mi.  938 mb central pressure suggests winds of 112 kt 
from the subtropical wind-pressure relationship.  A slightly higher value - 
115 kt - is chosen at landfall because of the slightly smaller RMW than 
would be expected climatologically (Vickery et al. 2000).  Inland winds 
adjusted downward based upon inland decay model and analysis of observations 
from Sandrik (1998).

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 5.
These dramatic track changes are found to be reasonable.  Track altered 
slightly on the 28th to provide for a more realistic translational velocity.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 8.
These track changes are found to be reasonable.  Winds increased from the 
11th to the 12th based upon wind observations indicating the storm was close 
to hurricane intensity north of Cuba.  Full lifecycle of this tropical storm 
is not known, due to lack of information about its genesis and decay stages.

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) did not introduce any changes for this storm from
that shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 9.  Partagas
and Diaz did indicate substantial doubt that the storm did in fact exist
(since their only documentation of this system comes from Mitchell 
[1924], which offers no details on the storm).  However, observations
from Rivas, Nicaragua (11.4N, 85.8W) from the December 1898 _Monthly Weather
Review_ do indicate a closed circulation to the north at the time that
this tropical storm would have been by passing that location.  Thus this 
tropical storm will be kept in the HURDAT database.  Inland decay model of 
Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over Central America.  Full
lifecycle of this tropical storm is not known, due to lack of information about
its genesis stage.

********************************************************************************

1898 - Additional Notes:

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) mentioned two additional systems considered 
for inclusion into HURDAT.  The re-analysis team agreed to leave them out 
of HURDAT for the following reasons:

1) September 9-11, 1898:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.
2) November 5-7, 1898:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b) for this newly documented
tropical storm.  It is noted, however, that the evidence that this was
a tropical cyclone of tropical storm intensity was not completely
conclusive, as no reports of gale force winds (or pressure/damage
equivalent) were obtained.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 1.
These dramatic track changes are found to be reasonable.  Hurricane status is 
indicated at landfall in the Dominican Republic based upon description of 
damages in Partagas and Diaz (1996b).  A central pressure of 979 mb (on the 
1st from Barnes 1998a) suggests winds of 78 kt - 85 kt chosen for best track 
because of analysis described in Partagas and Diaz (1996b) that the hurricane 
had a smaller than usual size.  (For a given central pressure, a hurricane
with a smaller radius of maximum winds will have stronger winds than a
larger RMW hurricane.)  Assessment as Category 2 at landfall in 
Florida is an upgrade from tropical storm at landfall status indicated in 
Neumann et al. (1999).  Full lifecycle of this tropical storm is not known, 
due to lack of information about its genesis stage.

The only major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b) are to extend the track 
through the 4th as an extratropical storm based upon available ship 
observations and to reposition the hurricane slightly more offshore Florida 
to account for relatively weak winds along the coast despite having a strong 
hurricane offshore.  Partagas and Diaz otherwise made reasonable though
large alterations to the track that shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally
storm number 2.  Central pressure of 995 mb (18Z on the 3rd) suggests winds of
56 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 55 kt utilized in best 
track.  Winds are adjusted accordingly on the 3rd to the 5th.  A central 
pressure of 930 mb (on the 7th) suggests winds of 128 kt from the southern 
wind-pressure relationship - 130 kt utilized in best track.  Winds are 
adjusted accordingly on the 6th to the 8th.  A central pressure of 940 mb 
(around 12Z on the 8th) suggests winds of 119 kt from the southern wind-
pressure relationship - 120 kt used in best track.  This agrees with the 
assessment of Boose et al. (2003) in their wind-caused damage estimates of 
extensive Fujita-scale F3 damage from this hurricane.  The 968 and 969 mb 
central pressures originally listed in HURDAT are determined to be peripheral 
pressures (though they do suggest winds of at least 83 kt from the northern 
wind-pressure relationship) - 105 kt retained in best track up to landfall in 
North Carolina.  Landfall as a Category 3 (~105 kt) supported by peripheral 
pressure and wind reports along with extensive wind and surge damage reported 
in Barnes (1998b).  Assessment as Category 3 retains that indicated in the
U.S. hurricane characterization in HURDAT/Table 6 of Neumann et al. (1999).  
Peripheral pressure of 983 mb (at 12Z on the 3rd) suggests winds of at least 
70 kt from the northern wind-pressure relationship - 75 kt utilized in best 
track.  The hurricane is known as "San Ciriaco" for its impact in Puerto 
Rico.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track and moderate changes to the intensity shown in 
Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm number 3.  Available observations
of gale force or greater winds (or equivalent in sea level pressure) are as
follows:  60 kt S at 12 UTC on Aug. 31 from a ship at 15.5N, 67W;  45 kt SW
on Aug. 31 at San Juan;  50 kt SE at 12 UTC on Sep. 3 from a ship at 25N,
67.5W;  70 kt on Sep. 3 from the ship "Kilpatrick" at 25N, 68.6W;  40 kt NE 
at 12 UTC on Sep. 4 from a ship at 30N, 69W;  50 kt SSE at 12 UTC on Sep. 4 
from a ship at 30N, 63.7W;  "winds of hurricane force blew over Bermuda in a 
12 hours storm" on Sep. 4.  Winds unchanged along track through Caribbean as 
available observations from ships and coastal stations are consistent with a 
strong tropical storm/weak hurricane.  Winds reduced while storm transited
over Hispanola from Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) inland decay model, modified
to account for mountainous terrain.  Peak winds reduced from Category 3 
(105 kt) to Category 2 (90 kt), since data from ship reports and observations
in Bermuda supports a weaker hurricane.  Winds reduced accordingly from the 
3rd to the 7th.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), originally storm 
number 4.  A central pressure of 939 mb (07Z on the 13th) suggests winds of 
111 kt from the subtropical wind-pressure relationship.  Wind reports from 
Bermuda allow an estimation of 30 nmi for the RMW, which is larger than usual 
(~21 nmi) for this central pressure and latitude (Vickery et al.  2000).  Thus
105 kt chosen for best track during track near Bermuda and winds are adjusted 
accordingly from the 11th to the 13th.  Winds increased on the 14th and 15th 
based upon ship observations and damage reports in Canada.  Extratropical 
transition delayed, as per Partagas and Diaz' suggestion, until after landfall
in Canada.

Evidence provided in the "Special statement" section of Partagas and Diaz
(1996b) suggests strongly that a tropical storm existed in the eastern
Atlantic from at least the 10th through the 14th of October.  Thus a best
track was created for this newly documented tropical storm.  Based upon
two ships showing gale force winds on the 10th and 14th, respectively,
12Z positions of 12.5N 37.5W (10th) and 21.5N 43.5W (14th) were
estimated.  A smooth track was created based upon these two positions.
Full lifecycle of this tropical storm is not known, due to lack of 
information about its genesis and decay stages.

One major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who otherwise made large,
but reasonable alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999), 
originally storm number 6.  After reconsideration of the available 
observations, it was analyzed that the system did begin on the 26th, but
likely south of Jamaica instead of east.  Track is adjusted accordingly on
the 26th through the 28th.  With deletion of the 23rd through the 25th and 
a new genesis point on the 26th south of Hispanola, winds are reduced from 
the 26th to the 28th to reflect a reasonable intensification rate.  A 
peripheral pressure of 996 mb (on 05Z on the 29th) suggests winds of at 
least 55 kt from the southern wind-pressure relationship - 70 kt chosen for 
best track which is consistent with available ship observations and 
re-analysis work of Perez (2000) that suggests landfall in Cuba as a 
Category 1 hurricane.  Winds reduced slightly on the 29th after Cuban 
landfall.  Ho (1989) estimated a central pressure of 955 mb at landfall in the
Carolinas, based upon a peripheral pressure measurement of 979 mb (10Z on the 
31st), an estimated RMW of 35 nmi, and an environmental pressure of 1012 mb.  
This central pressure suggests winds of 99 kt from the subtropical wind-
pressure relationship.  Given the larger than climatology (~25 nmi from 
Vickery et al. 2000) RMW, 95 kt chosen in the best track for landfall in the 
Carolinas.  Winds increased accordingly on the 30th and 31st.  Landfall as a 
Category 2 in the Carolinas (95 kt) is lowered from the Category 3 shown in 
Table 6 of Neumann et al. (1999), but increased from the Category 1 in the 
U.S. hurricane characterization in HURDAT.  Inland decay model of Kaplan and 
DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the middle Atlantic states.  
A storm tide of 8' was observed in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina 
(Ho 1989) and 9' was observed in Norfolk, Virginia (Roth and Cobb 2001).

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b) for this newly documented
tropical storm - storm number 8 in Partagas and Diaz.

********************************************************************************

1899 - Additional Notes:

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) mentioned three additional systems considered 
for inclusion into HURDAT.  The re-analysis team decided that there was
enough information to include the third system as a new tropical storm 
into HURDAT.  (See storm 7, 1899.)  The re-analysis team agreed to leave 
the first two out of HURDAT for the following reasons:

1) September 24-26, 1899:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.
2) October 7-9, 1899:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made reasonable small
alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  A peripheral pressure
of 996 mb (at 23Z on the 5th) suggests winds of at least 53 kt from the
Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship - 60 kt chosen for best track.
The 974 mb central pressure originally listed as occurring at 18Z on the
5th actually occurred at 19Z on the 6th.  This central pressure suggests 
winds of 84 kt from the Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship - 85 kt
chosen for best track.  Winds adjusted on the 5th to the 7th based on
these pressure reports.  Winds maintained at 35 kt during the 4th and 5th 
while traversing over Cuba based upon reports of no more than minimum
gale force winds over land.  The 964 mb pressure listed as a central
pressure (at 00Z on the 9th) is actually a peripheral pressure.  Ho et al. 
(1987) utilized this information to analyze this hurricane as a 936 mb 
hurricane at landfall in Texas with a 14 nmi RMW.  This value is close to
the 931 mb central pressure estimated in Jarrell et al. (1992) at landfall,
which is from an estimate by Connor (1956).  A 936 mb central pressure 
suggests winds of 123 kt from the Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure relationship.  
Given the slightly smaller than climatological RMW (Vickery et al. 2000, 
~18 nmi), maximum sustained winds at landfall are estimated at 125 kt.  This 
is consistent with the assessment of Category 4 at landfall from Neumann 
et al. (1999) in their Table 6/U.S. hurricane characterization in HURDAT.  
Winds are adjusted accordingly on the 7th through the 9th.  A storm tide of 
20' in Galveston is reported in Partagas and Diaz (1995b).  Inland decay 
model of Kaplan and DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the 
central U.S.  Intensities increased from the 11th to the 14th based upon 
observations of strong winds during extratropical phase in the northern 
United States and Canada (Partagas and Diaz 1996b).

The only major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996b) is to extend the track 
back to the 7th based upon ship observations.  Partagas and Diaz otherwise 
made reasonable small alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999),
originally storm number 4. Winds are increased on the 17th and 18th to 
account for observations in Bermuda on weak (west) side of hurricane.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  This tropical storm was 
originally storm 3 in Neumann et al.  The track changes are found
to be reasonable.  A peripheral pressure of 1005 mb (around 12Z on the 13th) 
suggests winds of at least 34 kt from the Gulf of Mexico wind-pressure 
relationship - 35 kt retained in best track.  Inland decay model of Kaplan and 
DeMaria (1995) utilized for inland winds over the southeast U.S.

No major changes from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who made large alterations
to the track and intensity shown in Neumann et al. (1999).  These track
and intensity changes are found to be reasonable.  However, the track
change on the 11th to bring it inland as an extratropical storm over
Nova Scotia has only moderate evidence and thus is altered with some
uncertainty.  Small track alterations on the 4th and 5th to allow for a 
more realistic translational velocity.

One major change from Partagas and Diaz (1996b), who otherwise made large,
but reasonable alterations to the track shown in Neumann et al. (1999). 
Track is extended back to the 24th based upon available observational
data that indicates the system existed as a tropical depression in
the Caribbean.

********************************************************************************

1900 - Additional Notes:

Partagas and Diaz (1996b) mentioned four additional systems considered 
for inclusion into HURDAT.  The re-analysis team agreed to leave them out 
of HURDAT for the following reasons:

1) June 9-13, 1900:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.
2) June 12-17, 1900:  One gale force report, insufficient to determine if
   system was tropical storm intensity.
3) July 25-27, 1900:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.
4) October 4-5, 1900:  Not enough evidence for tropical storm intensity.
