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.
Landfall States: TX- Texas, LA-Louisiana, MS-Mississippi,
AL-Alabama, FL- Florida, GA-Georgia, SC-South Carolina, NC-North
Carolina, VA-Virginia, MD-Maryland, DE-Delaware, NJ-New Jersey, NY-New
York, CT-Connecticut, RI-Rhode Island, MA-Massachusetts,
NH-New Hampshire, ME-Maine.
$ - Indicates that the tropical storm may not have been reliably estimated for
intensity (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 tropical storm made landfall over Mexico, but
produced tropical storm force winds over Texas. The time and position given
are that of the Mexican landfall. The strongest winds impacted Mexico. Thus the
winds indicated here (for Texas) are lower than in HURDAT and are lower than they
were over Mexico.
* - Indicates that the tropical storm/hurricane center did not make a U.S.
landfall, but did produce tropical storm 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.
& - Indicates that the tropical storm/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.
