Elena was the one that went ashore a couple times and in circles a bit, if I recall correctly. I lived in Pensacola then. It got to the area south of the city, stopped, headed to La. and came back as a nothing.

wunderground.com has some neat hurricane history but the maps were too cluttered to make anything out and going year by year was too tedious. I'll try by name.
