Hurricane FAQ Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Hurricane Research Division Miami 5 March 2022 was the most significant tropical cyclone to strike metropolitan Miami in nine years. It was one of three November Atlantic hurricanes to make landfall in Florida. It was the second hurricane to hit the state in 1935, after a devastating September storm. One of a few strong hurricanes to cross Florida from the northeast, it was the seventh tropical cyclone and fifth hurricane of the annual season. It developed east of Bermuda on October 30, in an area not usually known for hurricane formation. A few days later it strengthened into a hurricane. It initially posed a threat to the Carolinas, but then turned southwest and south, confounding forecasters. It attained its peak intensity of 105 miles per hour (165 kilometres per hour) on November 3. A small storm, shortly afterward it hit the northern Bahamas, causing 14 fatalities and moderate damage—mostly to shipping—in the island chain. On November 4 it veered westward and weakened somewhat, striking the contiguous United States just north of Miami Beach, Florida, with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h). In Florida the storm killed nine people and injured more than 150 others. It inflicted the heaviest damage to the Miami area since a 1926 hurricane. Wind gusts of up to 130 mi/h km/h on battered a 30 mi km mid -wide off on coastal area in southeastern Florida, razing hundreds of flimsy homes and unroofing well-constructed buildings. Copious rainfall combined with the winds and storm surge to damage waterfront sites, vessels, and crops. Due to its unseasonal and unusual route toward Florida, the storm was nicknamed the Yankee hurricane. After landfall, the storm weakened further, emerged into the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and executed a slow clockwise loop. Losing tropical characteristics, it dissipated just west of peninsular Florida on November 8. __ToC__ Meteorological history AL07 1935 path.png new Storm track, with Saffir–Simpson scale ranks colored On October 25 a low-pressure area formed along a weather front about 330 miles (530 kilometres) east of Bermuda. The disturbance meandered over warm ocean waters, wedged between a trough to its east and a ridge to its north. Modulated by the Icelandic Low, the ridge–trough interplay drew a polar air mass southward over the warm water, generating easterly trade winds and rising atmospheric instability. The unstable atmosphere, dominated by clashing winds, produced convection, allowing a well-defined circulation to emerge on October 29, followed by a concentrated wind field a day later. At 06:00 UTC on October 30,Dates are based on UTC unless stated otherwise. the seventh tropical storm of the season first appeared in the hurricane databases (HURDAT) about 230 mi (370 km) east of Bermuda.Well to the north of the main genesis area for Atlantic storms at such a late date.Byers 318 At the time no hurricane had been shown to have developed in the area. It displayed uniform air temperatures, although its oblong circulation and uneven precipitation pattern more closely resembled a subtropical cyclone.Storms in the pre-satellite era are classified as tropical cyclones, due to a lack of in-situ data.Delgado Landsea Willoughby 4182 Based on ship observations, it headed just north of due west and intensified for a few days. On November 1 it strengthened into a minimal hurricane,Equal to Category 1 on the Saffir–Simpson scale becoming the fifth storm of the season to do so. Reports from weather stations in its path showed a smaller-than-usual storm, marked by a compact radius of hurricane-force winds.View expanded list of sources Bennett Byers 318, 320, 322 Chris Landsea Craig Anderson William Bredemeyer Noel Charles Michael Chenoweth 3 Christopher Landsea https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/metadata_master.html#1935_7 Documentation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclones Changes in HURDAT: Storm 7 (originally 6), 1935 Re-Analysis Project Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Hurricane Research Division Miami, Florida mdy Landsea Christopher Best Track Committee https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hurdat/nhcreply-mar2012.htm Best Track Committee Re-Analysis Comments for 1935 (Replies to the Comments in Bold Face and [Bracketed] – CWL March 2012) March 2012 HURDAT Re-analysis Miami Hurricane Research Division 29 November 2025 1 Hurd 1935a 317 November 2, 1935 November 3, 1935 Hurricane Off Coast Reverses Normal Course https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-charlotte-observer/165359507/ The Charlotte Observer 67 213 Jacksonville, Florida Charlotte, North Carolina Associated Press 13 Newspapers.com Douglas Marjory Stoneman Wilkinson Jerry 1958 Marjory Stoneman Douglas http://www.keyshistory.org/35-hurr-Douglas.html The Florida Keys, 1935 Florida Keys History Museum Rinehart and Company 13 February 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20061210132112/http://www.keyshistory.org/35-hurr-Douglas.html 10 December 2006 live Historical Preservation Society of the Upper Keys Late on November 1 a high-pressure area over the eastern United States deflected the storm from the Outer Banks, causing it to swerve southwestward with time.View expanded list of sources Byers 322 Tannehill 106–8 Its "hairpin"-shaped trajectoryAs denoted by meteorologist Ivan Ray Tannehill,Tannehill 216, 278, 286 among othersDouglas Marjory Stoneman Wilkinson Jerry 1958 Marjory Stoneman Douglas http://www.keyshistory.org/35-hurr-Douglas.html The Florida Keys, 1935 Florida Keys History Museum Rinehart and Company 13 February 2024 https://web.archive.org/web/20061210132112/http://www.keyshistory.org/35-hurr-Douglas.html 10 December 2006 live Historical Preservation Society of the Upper Keys mirrored another storm a few weeks prior, baffling contemporary forecasters, who expected it to curve northward like a typical cyclone.View expanded list of sources November 2, 1935 November 3, 1935 Hurricane Off Coast Reverses Normal Course https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-charlotte-observer/165359507/ The Charlotte Observer 67 213 Jacksonville, Florida Charlotte, North Carolina Associated Press 13 Newspapers.com Hurricane Is 'Freak'; Course Southward Is the Reverse of the Usual Direction November 4, 1935 November 5, 1935 Havana New York City https://www.proquest.com/docview/101308741 registration The New York Times Associated Press 85 28409 12 Late City 101308741 November 3, 1935 November 4, 1935 Great Abaco Island Raked By Hurricane https://www.newspapers.com/article/news-press/165359872/ Fort Myers News-Press 51 349 Jacksonville, Florida Fort Myers, Florida Associated Press 1 Newspapers.com1 P. 2 The storm intensified further on November 2, as shown by barometer readings down to 28.94 inHg mb off on aboard a few ships in the eye of the storm, implying sustained winds of 85 mi/h km/h on based on pressure–wind relationships.
