Altogether, ten tropical cyclones developed, eight of which intensified into tropical storms. Five of those tropical storms strengthened into hurricanes, while three of those reached major hurricane intensity.A major hurricane is a storm that ranks as Category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale May 23, 2013 National Hurricane Center National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration July 1, 2019 Miami, Florida "nb" The season ran from June 1 through November 15, 1935. There were five notable systems in 1935. A weakening late-August hurricane sank numerous ships off the coast of Newfoundland, causing 50 fatalities. In early September, the Labor Day hurricane made landfall in Florida twice. Its first landfall was on the Florida Keys as an extremely powerful Category 5 hurricane on the modern day Saffir–Simpson scale, becoming the first Category 5 U.S. landfall on record. It resulted in about 490 deaths and $100 million (1935 USD) in damage along its path.All damage figures are in 1935 USD, unless otherwise noted "nb" It was the most intense Atlantic hurricane on record in terms of barometric pressure, a record later surpassed by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988 and Hurricane Wilma in 2005Hensen Bob Remembering the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 in the Florida Keys https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/remembering-the-labor-day-hurricane-of-1935-in-the-florida-keys Weather Underground August 14, 2016 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160829042410/https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/remembering-the-labor-day-hurricane-of-1935-in-the-florida-keys August 29, 2016 as well as the strongest at landfall by 1-minute sustained winds, a record equalled by Hurricane Dorian in 2019https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/How-Might-Dorian-Compare-Great-Florida-Keys-Labor-Day-Hurricane-1935 How Might Cat 4 Dorian Compare to the Great Florida Keys Labor Day Hurricane of 1935?

It is also one of only four Category 5 hurricanes on record to strike the contiguous United States, along with Hurricane Camille (1969), Hurricane Andrew (1992), and Hurricane Michael (2018).https://www.weather.gov/mob/camille August 2019 Hurricane Camille - August 17, 1969 National Weather Service Mobile, Alabama February 29, 2020 Late in September, the Cuba hurricane struck the country as a Category 3 and later the Bahamas as a Category 4. The hurricane caused 52 fatalities and roughly $14.5 million in damage. The Jérémie hurricane caused significant impacts in Cuba, Haiti, Honduras, and Jamaica in the month of October. Overall, the storm was attributed to about 2,150 deaths and $16 million in damage, with more than 2,000 fatalities in Haiti alone. The Yankee hurricane struck the Bahamas and Florida in early November. The system resulted in 23 deaths, while damage totaled roughly $5.5 million. Collectively, the tropical cyclones of the 1935 Atlantic hurricane season caused roughly $136 million in damage and 2,765 fatalities.

Therefore, a storm with a longer duration will have high values of ACE. It is only calculated at six-hour increments in which specific tropical and subtropical systems are either at or above sustained wind speeds of 39 mph (63 km/h), which is the threshold for tropical storm intensity. Thus, tropical depressions are not included here. __TOC__ Timeline Systems Tropical Storm One Atl Tropical Storm One weather map, May 17, 1935.jpg AL01 1935 path.png May 15 May 18 50 1003 List of off-season Atlantic hurricanes Historical weather maps and ship data indicate that a low-pressure area developed into a tropical depression about 105 mi km on 5 south of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, at 00:00 UTC on May 15.http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata_master.html Documentation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Changes in HURDAT Christopher W.

After emerging into the Atlantic Ocean near the Turks and Caicos Islands, the cyclone intensified and became a tropical storm around 12:00 UTC on May 16. The storm then began to curve northeastward and accelerate. On May 18, the Dutch ship Magdala observed sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a barometric pressure of 1003 mbar inHg on, marking the storm's peak intensity.

Continuing north-northwestward, the cyclone intensified into a hurricane while north of the Lesser Antilles at 00:00 UTC on August 19. Curving west-northwest, the storm gradually intensified into a Category 2 hurricane the following day. On August 20, the system began to curve northward and later north-northeastward. The cyclone peaked with winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) on August 22, but weakened to a minimal Category 3 hurricane with winds of 115 mph (195 km/h) by the time it passed just west of Bermuda later that day. On August 24, the storm weakened to a Category 2 hurricane and began to turn more northward. Continuing to curve northwestward on August 25, the system continued to weaken to a Category 1 hurricane, later striking Newfoundland as an extratropical cyclone on August 26. The storm dissipated later that day.

The depression initially strengthened slowly as it moved west-northwestward and then westward, reaching tropical storm intensity by early on August 31. Later that day and on the following day, the system passed through the Bahamas and reached hurricane intensity around 12:00 UTC on September 1. After passing near the south end of Andros Island, the storm rapidly intensified while moving across the Straits of Florida, achieving major hurricane status by 06:00 UTC on the next day. At approximately 00:00 UTC on September 3, the cyclone intensified into a Category 5 hurricane, with winds peaking at 185 mph (295 km/h), while other reports claim it was even more powerful. Few even claim that it may have reached sustained winds of 200 mph. Around that time, a weather station in Craig Key, Florida, observed a barometric pressure of 892 mbar inHg on on, with other reports claiming an even lower pressure, including a sailor who claimed an inward pressure of 880 mbar. About two hours later, the hurricane made landfall on Long Key at the same intensity. The storm made its final landfall on the sparsely populated Apalachee coast near Cedar Key on September 4 as a Category 2 hurricane. Turning northeast, the system weakened to a tropical storm over Georgia on September 5, but re-intensified into a hurricane on September 6 shortly after emerging into the Atlantic offshore Virginia. The storm transitioned into an extratropical cyclone later that day, but persisted until being absorbed by another extratropical cyclone offshore southern Greenland on September 10. In the Bahamas, the press stated that no damage occurred, though one report indicated that the storm caused some damage in extreme southern Andros Island. The Florida Climatological Data report notes that islands in the vicinity of the storm's landfall location "undoubtedly" experienced sustained winds between 150 and 200 mph km/h on and gusts "probably exceeding" 200 mph km/h on. Additionally, tides reached about 30 ft m on above mean water level, while a storm surge of 18 to 20 ft m on lashed the Upper Keys.https://miami.cbslocal.com/2017/09/08/irma-great-labor-day-hurricane-1935-keys/ Irma Draws Comparison To Great Labor Day Hurricane Of 1935 September 8, 2017 Craig Setzer WFOR-TV February 29, 2020 A train intending to evacuate people to safety arrived too late; storm surge prevented the train from advancing past Islamorada and instead washed it off the tracks except for the locomotive and tender.

After reaching hurricane intensity around 12:00 UTC on the next day, the cyclone curved west-southwestward. The system then turned south-southwestward by early on November 3, around the time that it reached Category 2 strength. Peaking with winds of 105 mph (165 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 964 mbar inHg on shortly thereafter, the storm curved southwestward later that day while approaching the Bahamas. Just after 00:00 UTC on November 4, the hurricane struck North Abaco at the same intensity. The cyclone then continued west-southwestward and made landfall in Miami-Dade County, Florida, near present-day Bal Harbour around 18:00 UTC on November 4 with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). The storm emerged into the Gulf of Mexico early the following day and weakened to a tropical storm around 00:00 UTC on November 6 while beginning to curve west-northwestward. Thereafter, the system decelerated and curved westward late on November 7, at which time it weakened to a tropical depression. By 12:00 UTC on November 8, the storm transitioned into an extratropical cyclone about 140 mi km on west of St. Petersburg, Florida, and dissipated several hours later. While the storm passed north of Bermuda on October 31, a weather station recorded sustained winds of 35 mph km/h on. Hurricane-force winds lashed the Abaco Islands for approximately 1–3 hours, while Grand Bahama observed sustained winds of 60 mph km/h on. On the former, the storm sank five sponging vessels and caused 14 deaths. The storm is known as the Yankee hurricane in Florida due to its unusual approach toward Florida from the north and its arrival late in the season.Marjory Stoneman Douglas 1958 http://www.keyshistory.org/35-hurr-Douglas.html The Florida Keys, 1935 Rinehart and Company March 7, 2020 In Florida, storm surge and abnormally high tides flooded and eroded portions of Miami Beach, including about 10 ft m on of the causeway linking the city to Miami. However, little structural damage occurred except to buildings with defect roofs. In Hialeah, considered the worst hit city in the Miami area, approximately 230 homes suffered complete destruction, while many others sustained damage. Among the others buildings severely damaged or destroyed in the city included two churches, a building occupied by two businesses, and a warehouse.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/46313289/the-miami-herald/ November 6, 1935 Work of Repairing is Moving Forward 5-A Miami Herald March 7, 2020 Newspapers.com The storm uprooted 75 percent of avocado trees and 80 percent of citrus trees, while floodwaters inundated about 95 percent of potatoes in Miami-Dade County. In Broward County, the town of Dania Beach appeared to suffer the worst damage in the county, with approximately 90 percent of buildings damaged to some degree there.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/46312916/the-miami-herald/ Repair Work Begun in Broward County November 6, 1935 5-A Miami Herald March 7, 2020 Newspapers.com Throughout the county, the hurricane damaged at least 40 homes beyond repairs, while over 350 homes suffered minor damages requiring repairs.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/46312102/the-miami-herald/ November 6, 1935 Work of Repairing is Moving Forward 4-A Miami Herald March 7, 2020 Newspapers.com A total of 9 deaths—both directly tied to the storm and to extenuating causes—were reported, along with injuries to 115 people. The hurricane caused approximately $5.5 million in damage in Florida, $4.5 million of which was incurred to properties. Tropical Storm Eight Atl Tropical Storm Eight weather map, November 7, 1935.jpg AL08 1935 path.png November 3 November 14 40 1001 Based on historical weather maps, a weak trough developed into a tropical depression about 215 mi km on 5 northeast of Bermuda around 00:00 UTC on November 3. The cyclone initially moved northeastward and reached tropical storm intensity around 18:00 UTC. On November 4, the system attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1001 mbar inHg on, the latter being observed by a ship. The storm curved southeastward late on November 4 and then southwestward about 24 hours later. Late on November 6, the system turned to the west. On the following day as the cyclone began turning south-southwestward, a weather station on Bermuda observed sustained winds of 40 mph km/h on. The storm weakened to a tropical depression early on November 9 and began to execute a cyclonic loop. Around 12:00 UTC on November 10, it re-intensified into a tropical storm. The storm completed its cyclonic loop by November 12 and resumed moving south-southwestward. Around 06:00 UTC on November 13, the cyclone fell below tropical storm intensity again and dissipated early on November 14 while located about 300 mi km on 5 south-southeast of Bermuda. Other systems In addition to the eight gale-force systems identified within HURDAT, two other cyclones were classified as tropical depressions. The first of these developed over the northern Gulf of Mexico on August 23. On this day, a ship observed sustained winds of 35 mph (55 km/h)—the highest in relation to the system. The lowest observed pressure of 1008 mbar (hPa; 29.77 inHg) was recorded on August 25. Researchers at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted that the system may have become a weak tropical storm, but a lack of concrete evidence prevented classification as such. Remaining nearly stationary for four days, the depression finally moved northeast on August 27 and made landfall over the Florida Panhandle. The system weakened once onshore and dissipated over Georgia on August 29. The second depression was identified near the Cape Verde Islands on October 2. A nearly stationary system, the depression lingered for three days before diminishing. Ships on October 2 reported sustained winds of 35 mph (55 km/h) and a pressure of 1006 mbar (hPa; 29.71 inHg). The depression may have been a tropical storm, but this could not be conclusively assessed.Documentation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Changes in HURDAT: 1935 Storm Five http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata_master.html#1935_additional National Hurricane Center November 29, 2015 Christopher Landsea December 2012 etal Season effects This is a table of all of the storms that have formed during the 1935 Atlantic hurricane season.
