You have to go back to the 1700s to find a major hurricane drought of this length. Of course, much of the U.S. Gulf Coast was not settled in the 1700s (for that matter, none of the Gulf Coast was U.S. territory in the 1700s). It would be easy to miss the landfall of a major hurricane landfall. It is fair to say that the current major hurricane drought is the longest in recorded history.

What was Sandy? Wasn’t it in 2008. That was pretty bad even if it wasn’t a 3.
