Notes:
Date/Time: Day and time when the circulation center crosses the U.S.
coastline (including barrier islands). Time is estimate to the nearest hour.
Lat/Lon: Location is estimated to the nearest 0.1 degrees latitude and
longitude (about 6 nmi).
Max Winds: Estimated maximum sustained (1 min) surface (10 m) winds to
occur along the U. S. coast.
Saffir-Simpson: The estimated Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale at landfall
based upon maximum sustained surface winds. "TS" indicates that the
hurricane's center made landfall, but that hurricane force wind remained
offshore.
RMW: The radius of maximum winds (primarily for the right front quadrant
of the hurricane), if available.
Central Pressure: The minimum central pressure of the hurricane at
landfall. Central pressure values in parentheses indicate that the value is
a simple estimation (based upon a wind-pressure relationship), not directly
measured or calculated.
OCI (Outer Closed Isobar): The sea level pressure at the outer limits of the
hurricane circulation as determined by analysis of the outer closed isobar
(in increments of 1 mb).
Size: This is the average radius of the OCI.
States Affected: The impact of the hurricane upon individual U.S. states
by Saffir-Simpson Scale (again through the estimate of the maximum sustained
surface winds at each state). (ATX-South Texas, BTX-Central Texas, CTX-North
Texas, LA-Louisiana, MS-Mississippi, AL-Alabama, AFL-Northwest Florida,
BFL-Southwest Florida, CFL-Southeast Florida, DFL-Northeast Florida,
GA-Georgia, SC-South Carolina, NC-North Carolina, VA-Virginia, MD-Maryland,
DE-Delware, NJ-New Jersey, NY-New York, PA-Pennsylvania, CT-Connecticut,
RI-Rhode Island, MA-Massachusetts, NH-New Hampshire, ME-Maine. In Texas,
south is roughly from the Mexico border to Corpus Christi; central is from
north of Corpus Christi to Matagorda Bay and north is from Matagorda Bay to
the Louisiana border. In Florida, the north-south dividing line is from Cape
Canaveral [28.45N] to Tarpon Springs [28.17N]. The dividing line between
west-east Florida goes from 82.69W at the north Florida border with Georgia,
to Lake Okechobee and due south along longitude 80.85W.) Occassionally,
a hurricane will cause a hurricane impact (estimated maximum sustained
surface winds) in an inland state. To differentiate these cases versus
coastal hurricane impacts, these inland hurricane strikes are denoted with
an "I" prefix before the state abbreviation. States that have been so
impacted at least once during this time period include Alabama (IAL),
Georgia (IGA), North Carolina (INC), Virginia (IVA), and Pennsylvania (IPA).
The Florida peninsula, by the nature of its relatively landmass, is all
considered as coastal in this database.
$ - Indicates that the hurricane may not have been reliably estimated for
intensity (both central pressure and maximum sustained windspeed) because
of landfall in a relatively uninhabited region. Errors in intensity are
likely to be underestimates of the true intensity.
* - Indicates that the hurricane center did not make a U.S. landfall, but did
produce hurricane force winds over land. Position indicated is point of
closest approach. Maximum winds refer, in this table, to the strongest
winds estimated for the United States. Central pressure in this case is
the hurricane's value at the point of closest approach.
& - Indicates that the hurricane center did make a direct landfall, but
that the strongest winds likely remained offshore. Thus the winds indicated
here are lower than in HURDAT.
# - Indicates that hurricane made landfall first over Mexico, but caused
hurricane winds in Texas. The position given is that of Mexican landfall.
The strongest winds impacted Mexico. The winds indicated here are lower
than in HURDAT and are lower than they were over Mexico. Central pressure
given is that at Mexican landfall.
