The season officially began on June 15, and lasted until November 30. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The season was above average for the time, with thirteen named storms, seven hurricanes, and five major hurricanes. The first system, an unnamed tropical storm, developed on June 2, almost two weeks before the official start of the season. Striking Florida on June 6, the storm brought localized flooding to portions of Cuba and the Southeastern United States, leaving about $1 million in damage. The next storm, also unnamed, developed near the end of July; it did not impact land. The effects of Hurricanes Cleo, Dora, and Isbell combined were devastating to Florida. Cleo also brought destruction to portions of the Caribbean, especially Guadeloupe and Haiti. After moving inland, Cleo brought flooding to states such as Virginia. Overall, the storm caused 220 deaths and about $198.5 million in damage.All damage figures are in 1966 USD, unless otherwise noted "nb" Dora lashed much of North Florida and southeastern Georgia with hurricane-force winds, leaving five fatalities and around $280 million in damage. In October, Isbell brought strong winds and several tornadoes to Florida, as well as flooding to Cuba and The Carolinas. Isbell killed seven people and left approximately $30 million in damage. The strongest tropical cyclone of the season was Hurricane Cleo, a powerful Category 4 hurricane that severely affected areas in the Caribbean, including the Leeward Islands, Haiti, and Cuba. Cleo went on to hit the United States, in the eastern Florida peninsula as a minimal Category 2 hurricane, particularly in Miami, Florida, where the storm brought severe damage to the state alone, and bringing heavy rain, and severe flooding to the Carolinas in the United States East Coast as a tropical storm. The names Cleo, Dora, and Hilda were retired following the season. Collectively, the tropical cyclones resulted in 271 fatalities and approximately $640.63 million in damage.

It struck Florida as a tropical depression and then strengthened into a tropical storm while out at sea. The storm ceased to exist on June 11. Thereafter, the season went dormant for nearly seven weeks, as the next cyclone, another unnamed storm, did not form until July 23. This would be followed by the development of a third unnamed system on July 28. Tropical cyclogenesis increased in August, which had four tropical cyclones, Abby, Brenda, Cleo, and Dora. The strongest storm of the season, Cleo, peaked with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph km/h on and a minimum barometric pressure of 938 mbar inHg on on. Four additional storms originated in September, including Ethel, Florence, Gladys, and Hilda. Hurricane Isbell was the sole tropical cyclone to form in the month of October. The final system, another unnamed storm, existed developed on November 5 and dissipated on November 10. The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 153.Hurricane Research Division; Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration March 2015 Atlantic basin Comparison of Original and Revised HURDAT September 2, 2015 http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/comparison_table.html ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, have high ACEs.

Shortly after 12:00 UTC on June 6, it made landfall just south of Cedar Key, Florida, with winds of 30 mph km/h on. Early the following day, the depression emerged into the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville and began to strengthen and move northeastward. While located offshore South Carolina on June 7, the system became a tropical storm. Further deepening occurred slowly, with the storm peaking with winds of 70 mph km/h on late on June 9. By June 11, it was absorbed by an extratropical low while located about 350 mi km on south-southeast of Sable Island in Nova Scotia.177 The storm brought local flooding to portions of western Cuba and the Southeastern United States. Some areas in North Florida experienced considerable damage from strong winds and hail associated with thunderstorm, particularly in Cross City. Damage in the Jacksonville area alone was over $300,000.177 A few gale warnings were issued between Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Nags Head, North Carolina. More than 8 in mm on of rain in the former resulted in inundated streets and overflowing streams. Additionally, about 20 in mm on of water covered streets in downtown Conway, South Carolina.http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1964/06/08/page/16/article/storm-sweeps-piles-of-sands-on-las-vegas Carolinas Get Soaking June 8, 1964 Chicago Tribune 16 September 2, 2015 Overall, the storm caused about $1 million in damage.177 Unnamed July tropical storm Atl Unnamed tropical storm weather map, July 24, 1964.jpg 1964 Atlantic tropical storm 2 track.png July 23 July 26 50 1001 A low-pressure area formed near Columbia, South Carolina, early on July 23 and became a tropical depression. Due to its association with a mid to upper-level trough through July 25, the depression may have been a subtropical cyclone, though such a classification could not be confirmed prior to when satellite imagery became routine.https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata-1961-1965.pdf 1964 Atlantic Hurricane Database Reanalysis 2019 Christopher W.

Several hours later, the depression intensified into a tropical storm. Based on ship data and baroclinic intensification, the storm likely peaked with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph km/h on just before becoming extratropical about 205 mi km on 5 of Nantucket, Massachusetts, around 12:00 UTC on July 26.389 The extratropical remnants moved northeastward towards Atlantic Canada, until another extratropical cyclone absorbed it near the south coast of Newfoundland late on July 27.389 Unnamed July hurricane Atl Unnamed hurricane weather map, July 29, 1964.jpg 1964 Atlantic hurricane 3 track.png July 28 August 2 75 990 Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS) indicated an area of disturbed weather with a weak surface circulation in the vicinity of Cape Verde on July 25.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/ts02/prenhc/prelim01.gif Unnamed Tropical Storm – July 28–August 3, 1964 1964 United States Weather Bureau National Hurricane Center; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1 June 10, 2013 Reports from a reconnaissance aircraft indicate that a tropical depression developed at 06:00 UTC on July 28, while located about halfway between the Leeward Islands and the northernmost islands of Cape Verde. Initially the depression moved rapidly west-northwestward, which likely caused the minimal intensification. By July 30, a north-northwest to south-southeast oriented trough forced the depression to re-curve north-northwestward. While situated about 300 mi km on 5 east of Bermuda on July 31, it began heading northeastward. Later that day, the depression finally organized further and developed a well-defined rainband. The Atlantic hurricane database indicates that the depression strengthened into a tropical storm at 18:00 UTC on July 31, due to ships reports of winds reaching 46 mph km/h on. On August 1, it intensified further into a hurricane. Around that time, maximum sustained winds peaked at 85 mph km/h on. The storm continued moving rapidly northeastward and began to interact with a cold front. It transitioned into an extratropical cyclone on August 2, while located about 525 mi km on 5 east of Cape Race, Newfoundland.

At 12:00 UTC on August 7, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Abby. It was a small tropical cyclone, spanning a diameter of less than 100 mi km on 5. The storm quickly intensified further late on August 7. A few hours later, Abby made landfall near Matagorda, Texas, at just below hurricane intensity. Abby may have reached hurricane status, but the lack of definitive observations prevented an upgrade.178 It weakened to a tropical depression early on August 8, before dissipating later that day. Overall, impact from this system was minor. In Texas, precipitation peaked at 6.14 in mm on at the Victoria Regional Airport. However, only localized flooding occurred and rainfall was mostly beneficial. In the city of Victoria, several streets were temporarily inundated with water.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/abby/news/ftw0814c.gif No Report Of Damage In Area August 8, 1964 The Victoria Advocate National Hurricane Center; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration June 11, 2013 A fishing company in Matagorda lost a portion of its roof.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/abby/news/gls0810j.gif Abby Fizzles Out August 10, 1964 Galveston Tribune June 11, 2013 Abby resulted in an estimated $750,000 in losses,177 with $150,000 in damage to property and $600,000 to crops. The impacts from the storm were most severe in Jackson and Victoria counties, where damage to crops were estimated at $275,000 and $250,000, respectively.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/abby/preloc/aus0909a.gif Final Report Tropical Storm Abby, August 7, 1964 September 9, 1964 United States Weather Bureau National Hurricane Center; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration June 11, 2013 Tropical Storm Brenda Atl Tropical Storm Brenda weather map, August 9, 1964.jpg Brenda 1964 track.png August 8 August 10 45 1006 A minor trough of low pressure was situated west of Bermuda in early August.

It moved east-southeastward and strengthened into Tropical Storm Brenda six hours later. At 13:00 UTC on August 8, the cyclone struck Bermuda with winds of 50 mph km/h on. The island experienced sustained winds up to 45 mph km/h on and gusts up to 65 mph km/h on. A tornado damaged several aircraft, most of which were privately owned. Damage reached approximately $275,000.177 Shortly after moving across Bermuda on August 8, spiral bands appeared on the island's radar. Advisories on Brenda were not initiated until 18:00 UTC on August 8, due to sparsity of data, making it difficult to confirm the existence of a tropical cyclone.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/brenda/prenhc/prelim02.gif Tropical Storm Brenda – August 4–10, 1964 1964 United States Weather Bureau National Hurricane Center; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2 June 10, 2013 A cold front caused the storm to re-curve northeastward on August 9.

Hurricane Cleo Atl Hurricane Cleo 23 August 1964 TIROS VIII.png Cleo 1964 track.png August 20 September 5 130 938 Hurricane Cleo A tropical wave developed into Tropical Storm Cleo while located about 1000 mi km on 5 east of Barbados late on August 20.178 It continued west-northwestward, quickly intensifying into a hurricane later on August 21. Cleo rapidly deepened and reached Category 3 early on August 22. Several hours later, Cleo struck Marie-Galante and the main island of Guadeloupe with winds of 125 mph km/h on. The storm then intensified into a Category 4 hurricane and entered the Caribbean Sea. While located south of the Dominican Republic around 18:00 UTC on August 23, Cleo attained its peak intensity with winds of 155 mph km/h on. The hurricane then made landfall near Les Cayes, Haiti, on August 25 at the same intensity. The storm re-emerged into the Caribbean hours later as a Category 2 hurricane but weakened to Category 1 intensity around 12:00 UTC. Cleo briefly moved ashore near Cape Cruz, Cuba, with winds of 80 mph km/h on. The cyclone emerged into the Gulf of Guacanayabo, before striking Sancti Spíritus Province as a minimal hurricane early on August 26. Cleo briefly weakened to a tropical storm before emerging into the Atlantic and re-strengthening, becoming a hurricane again at 18:00 UTC. Now moving north-northwestward, the system reached Category 2 intensity early on August 27, hours before striking Miami Beach, Florida, with winds of 110 mph km/h on. The system quickly weakened inland, falling to tropical storm intensity near Port St. Lucie later that day. Cleo briefly re-emerged into the Atlantic off the coast of North Florida, before making another landfall on St. Simons Island, Georgia, early on August 29 with winds of 60 mph km/h on. Cleo weakened to a tropical depression over South Carolina on August 30 but did not dissipate. Thereafter, the cyclone curved northeastward and eventually eastward while crossing the Carolinas and Virginia. Cleo re-intensified into a tropical storm while re-entering the Atlantic near Norfolk, Virginia, on September 1. It moved east-northeastward and became a hurricane again about 24 hours later. Late on September 3, Cleo became a Category 2 hurricane again. The cyclone then to the northeast and lost tropical characteristics, becoming extratropical to the southeast of Newfoundland on September 4. The remnants meandered in the Atlantic until dissipating about halfway between southern Greenland and Ireland on September 10. In Guadeloupe, the storm destroyed 1,000 homes and caused extensive damage to roofs, roads, and power lines. Additionally, the banana crop was ruined. Overall, there were 14 deaths and about $50 million in damage. Cleo caused seven fatalities and at least $2 million in damage in Dominican Republic.United States Weather Bureau National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1964 June 9, 2014 Hurricane Cleo August 20 – September 4, 1964 http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/noaa_documents/NOAA_historic_documents/WB/Hurricane_Cleo.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20111031231814/http://docs.lib.noaa.gov/noaa_documents/NOAA_historic_documents/WB/Hurricane_Cleo.pdf October 31, 2011 C-D Strong winds in Haiti caused severe damage.

It then curved northeastward and continued to strengthen, reaching hurricane status about 48 hours later. Intensification slowed somewhat, though Dora became a Category 3 major hurricane on September 5. Deepening further, the storm became a Category 4 for six hours early on September 6 and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph km/h on and a minimum barometric pressure of 942 mbar inHg on early the following day. Dora then remained a Category 3 hurricane until early the next day, when it weakened to Category 2 hurricane while curving westward. Approaching the east coast of Florida, Dora briefly weakened to a Category 1 hurricane early on September 9, before reaching Category 2 status several hours later.

Initially, it was suggested that Hurricane Dora could absorb Ethel, as the storms were located 690 mi km on apart. On September 7, Ethel strengthened into a hurricane. By early on the following day, it curved westward and continued to slowly deepen, before turning to the north-northwestward on September 11. By late on September 12, the storm curved northeastward and passed to the northeast of Bermuda early the next day, bringing 4.05 in mm on of precipitation and wind gusts up to 70 mph km/h on.http://www.weather.bm/tropicalArchiveDocuments/Summary%20And%20Miscellaneous/Summary%20of%20Tropical%20Climatology%20-%20with%20List.docx Hurricanes – General Information for Bermuda Mark Guishard James Dodgson Michael Johnston May 2015 Bermuda Weather Service November 13, 2015 Hamilton, Bermuda dead https://web.archive.org/web/20151117025834/http://www.weather.bm/tropicalArchiveDocuments/Summary%20And%20Miscellaneous/Summary%20of%20Tropical%20Climatology%20-%20with%20List.docx November 17, 2015 Throughout the island, low-lying areas were flooded and trees were felled.

The storm moved northwestward and intensified into a hurricane on September 14, before weakened back to a tropical storm early the next day. Gladys re-strengthened into a hurricane on September 16. By the next day, the cyclone quickly intensified, briefly peaking as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph km/h on around 18:00 UTC. Gladys weakened to a Category 3 early on September 18. Gladys weakened to a Category 2 as it re-curved northward on September 20. The storm weakened to a Category 1 as it turned northwestward on September 22 and briefly threatened the East Coast of the United States. However, it veered northeastward on September 23 and moved rapidly toward Atlantic Canada. By 00:00 UTC on September 25, Gladys became extratropical just offshore Newfoundland and promptly dissipated. Along the East Coast of the United States, Gladys produced light rainfall, gusty winds, and storm surge.

After briefly re-emerging into the northwestern Caribbean Sea later that day, the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Hilda at 11:00 UTC on September 29 while making landfall near Sandino, Cuba. By late on September 29, it emerged into the Gulf of Mexico near Cape San Antonio. The storm continued to intensify, reaching hurricane status on September 30. During the following 30 hours, Hilda strengthened significantly and peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 140 mph km/h on late on October 1. It re-curved northward and began weakening due to unfavorable conditions. Around 23:00 UTC on October 3, the storm made landfall near Franklin, Louisiana, as a Category 2 with winds of 105 mph km/h on. It rapidly weakened inland and became extratropical over southern Mississippi by 12:00 UTC that day. The remnant extratropical low continued eastward and emerged into the Atlantic late on October 5, before dissipating well north of the Bahamas on October 7. In Cuba, the storm caused minor impact, with damage totaling about $1 million.177 Offshore the United States in the Gulf of Mexico, 13 oil platforms were destroyed and 5 others were damaged beyond repair.

Re-curving northeastward, Isbell quickly strengthened further and reached hurricane status about 24 hour alter. The storm briefly became a Category 2 just before making landfall in Sandino, Cuba, with winds of 100 mph km/h on at 19:00 UTC on October 13. Isbell briefly weakened to a Category 1, but strengthened into a Category 3 and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph km/h on at 12:00 UTC on October 14. The cyclone weakened to a Category 2 prior to making landfall near Everglades City, Florida, with winds of 105 mph km/h on. Early on October 15, Isbell weakened to a Category 1 hurricane and then emerged into the Atlantic near Jupiter, Florida. Isbell curved northwestward on October 16, weakening to a tropical storm just before making landfall in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, with winds of 70 mph km/h on. The storm quickly became extratropical and was soon absorbed by another extratropical cyclone over North Carolina late on October 16. The storm produced strong winds throughout western Cuba. Hundreds of homes were destroyed, as were several tobacco warehouses. There were four deaths in Cuba, three of them caused by collapsing houses in the Guane area.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1964/isbell/news/hem1014.gif "El Mundo", Havana, October 14, 1964 (Isbell) National Hurricane Center; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1964-10-14 Isbell was responsible for three deaths and approximately $10 million in damage in Cuba.177 Several tornadoes in Florida caused significant damage overall. Throughout the state, 1 house was destroyed, 33 were severely damaged, and 631  suffered minor impact.

Thereafter, it curved westward towards Central America. Early on November 7, the storm made landfall near Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, with winds of 70 mph km/h on. Several hours later, it weakened to a tropical depression along the north coast of Honduras early on November 8, shortly before re-emerging into the Caribbean. The storm did not re-intensify and made landfall in Belize on November 9. It dissipated early on the following day. In Nicaragua, winds and heavy rainfall caused significant crop damage, especially to bananas. Many residents living near the Caratasca Lagoon evacuated. The entire town of Caukira was flooded, with five small houses completely destroyed. Tides were as high as 18 ft m on above-normal. In Puerto Castilla, large amounts of precipitation caused flooding and destroyed a bridge, leaving part of the population out of communication. Another bridge collapsed in the town of Rus-Rus. Strong winds and heavy rainfall also resulted in "considerable damage" on the Bay Islands.187 Overall, the storm resulted in about $5 million in damage.177 Other systems In addition to the thirteen tropical storms, TIROS VII monitored two systems operationally considered tropical depressions – one on July 15 at 21 -41 and another on September 19 at 16 -27. However, a re-examination of the satellite imagery as part of the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project did not depict tropical depressions, while ship data was unavailable for either potential cyclone. Thus, it could not be confirmed that either system became a tropical cyclone.391 Storm names The following list of names was used for named storms that formed in the North Atlantic in 1964.
