Landfall estimated: this storm crossed the Florida coast between two of NHC's 6-hourly track readings, so its landfall point, time and strength (about 90 kt near 30.31N 86.59W, 2026-10-10 0031Z) are estimated from the readings on either side, rounded down. NOAA's official landfall details will replace this once the season is finalized.

Surge: no curated record yet. An NHC Tropical Cyclone Report exists for storms of this era; this one is awaiting verification against it. Values are only shown after being checked against an NHC source (see methodology).
