1910-1914

1910

This season only had five cyclones recorded, but the last one was important. The storm looped off Cuba as a major hurricane, causing the requisite torrential rainfall and material damage. It killed at least 100 people. Later it hit southwest Florida before moving to the northeast and lightly impacting the southeast coast of the US.

1911

Another pretty inactive season. Probably the most interesting hurricane impacted Savannah - because of the shape of the coastline, hurricanes rarely make landfall from the east between the Kennedy space center and Charleston. There was the usual damage.

1912

Not much happened in this season. The final storm was a rare November major hurricane (Cat 3). Like most November major hurricanes, it formed in the Caribbean - it impacted Jamaica with heavy rainfall due to its reversing direction after making landfall in the manner of TS Allison. Seconds, anyone?

1913

Probably the most damaging hurricane of the season caused 20 inches of rain in south Texas. Other than that not much else happened in the season. There were a couple of other lightly-damaging hurricanes.

1914

The least active Atlantic hurricane season on record, with only one tropical storm (and no hurricanes) forming. The hurricane seasons of the early 20th century were generally pretty inactive, although there are some exceptions. Hurricane seasons in midcentury definitely produced more big storms. The only tropical storm of the season struck around Jacksonville.

The 1915 season produced two immensely damaging storms, but they must wait till tomorrow.
