Hurricane Intelligence Florida: Florida impacts and ENSO, 1851 to present. A JnGmedia property.

128 storms, 1851-present, full tracks

Track Map

Every storm is drawn from genesis to dissipation -- the full track, not just the Florida approach (that's what Zone Lab does). Current-season storms not yet finalized in NOAA's HURDAT2 release are included and marked provisional.

Data quality is genuinely uneven across eras, not a uniform "old vs. new" split -- tap for detail
Validated against the NOAA/AMS Atlantic Hurricane Database Reanalysis Project's published phase boundaries (Landsea et al. 2004a; 2008 reanalysis) and wireless-ship-telegraphy adoption history. Pre-1911: ship reports and land stations only, reconstructed via the Fernandez-Partagas & Diaz method. 1911-1943: station data plus COADS ship network, decades before aircraft or satellite. 1944-1967: aircraft reconnaissance era, pre-radar/pre-satellite. 1968-present: radar and satellite tracking. Rather than treat an entire era as uniformly reliable, each track point here carries its own derivation confidence (standard vs. reduced) -- switch Color tracks by or Thickness by to "Data confidence" above to see exactly which points carry that caveat, live, for whatever's currently selected.

Pick specific storms (adds to the filters below, doesn't replace them)

Checking a storm here guarantees it's shown regardless of the filters below (e.g. turn on Matthew and Dora specifically) -- but everything you pick still responds normally to Display settings, the walk-through, and Ghost mode. Unchecking the filters below won't hide a storm you've picked here.

* Two storms (1880, 1912) have no modern Saffir-Simpson category because HURDAT2's own reconstructed peak wind for both falls under 64kt -- but NOAA's historical Impacts/Landfalls table lists both as authoritative Florida hurricane-force impacts. That's a real disagreement between two historical sources in a low-confidence era, not a claim these were ordinary tropical storms; they're included here rather than quietly dropped or relabeled as something more certain than the record actually supports.
