How about Hurricane Sandy?
How about the hurricanes in the Pacific? Or, in the southern hemisphere where they are called cyclones.
I think the issue is with the words “Major Storm”.
Sandy peaked at a Cat 3, Ike peaked at a 4, but both made landfall at a Cat 2.
Splitting hairs. Both were devastating storms.
It did a lot of damage through tidal surge but was a weak storm when it hit. Better preparedness would have reduced the impact but we don’t measure a storm’s power on how much in Fabergé eggs get broken.
I think it is probably more accurate to say that the Gulf Coast, traditional landfall of hurricanes, has had no hits in 129 months.
Hurricane Sandy was a “Perfect” low grade storm. It was never a great and terrible one, just a wide one barely above a tropical storm.
It slowly moved up the Atlantic coast, doing damage all along the coast, then turned inland at the most populated area in the USA, New York City.
What made it so memorable is it went inland at one of the highest natural tides, causing a massive storm surge.
It was then followed by two blue Northers coming down from the north, adding to the misery.
