List of meteorological histories of tropical cyclones
This page documents the list of meteorological histories of tropical cyclones. These storms have detailed information on their respective histories as tropical cyclones, including formation, peak intensity, dissipation, and other notable facts the storm was known for.
1990s
Atlantic
- Hurricane Andrew (1992) – the last Category 5 hurricane to strike the United States, and at the time was the costliest tropical cyclone known, with over $20 billion in damages.
- Hurricane Gordon (1994) – a long-lived tropical cyclone which took an unusual track off the Southeast United States, while also displaying hybrid characteristics at times.[1]
- Hurricane Luis (1995) – Powerful category 4 Cape Verde hurricane which severely impacted the Windward Islands.[2]
- Hurricane Georges (1998) – long-lived tropical cyclone which impacted areas from the Windward Islands all the way to the Southeastern United States.
- Hurricane Mitch (1998) – The second-deadliest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded, with over 12,000 deaths. Peaked as a powerful Category 5 in the Caribbean Sea.[3]
2000s
Atlantic
- Hurricane Ivan (2004) – Long-tracked Cape Verde hurricane which peaked 3 times as a Category 5, struck the Florida Panhandle as a Category 3. Made a large clockwise loop over the Eastern United States and regenerated in the Gulf of Mexico.[4]
- Hurricane Jeanne (2004) – another hurricane that struck Florida after impacting Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas.
- Hurricane Dennis (2005) – High-end Category 4 hurricane which caused destruction throughout its path from Haiti all the way to the Gulf Coast. It was the first of many powerful hurricanes to strike the coastline in 2005.
- Hurricane Katrina (2005) – The costliest natural disaster ever recorded, with totals exceeding $100 billion damages. Struck the Louisiana–Mississippi region on August 29 as a major hurricane, causing major damage in New Orleans and other surrounding areas.
- Hurricane Wilma (2005) – The most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic, with a minimum pressure of 882 millibars (26.0 inHg). Was also the last recent major hurricane to strike the United States until Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
- Hurricane Dean (2007) – Classic long-tracked Cape Verde hurricane which is tied for the third-most intense landfalling hurricane in the Atlantic, striking the Yucatán Peninsula as a Category 5 with maximum sustained winds of 175 mph (282 km/h) and a central pressure of 905 millibars (26.7 inHg).
- Hurricane Gustav (2008) – Intense high-end Category 4 hurricane which impacted areas from Haiti to Louisiana in the United States around the Labor Day weekend.
Southern Indian
- Cyclone Leon–Eline (2000) – the longest-lived tropical cyclone in the South Indian Ocean. Struck southern Africa as a Category 4-equivalent tropical cyclone.
Western Pacific
- Typhoon Durian (2006) – Powerful super typhoon that devastated parts of the Philippines as a high-end Category 4-equivalent. Tracked southwest into South China Sea before crossing into the North Indian Ocean basin.
2010s
Atlantic
- Hurricane Sandy (2012) – The second-most destructive and largest tropical cyclone recorded in the Atlantic. Struck Jamaica as a hurricane and Cuba as a major, before slamming the Bahamas and eventually morphing into an extremely large hybrid storm, before hooking left and slamming into the New Jersey coastline on October 29, causing tremendous damage.
- Hurricane Matthew (2016) – Long-lived hurricane which was the first Category 5 in the Atlantic since Hurricane Felix in 2007. Tore through the Caribbean and devastated Haiti on October 4 before passing through the Bahamas and paralleling the Florida coast as a Category 4. Made landfall as a Category 1 in the United States early on October 8.
- Hurricane Harvey (2017)
- Hurricane Irma (2017)
- Hurricane Maria (2017)
Eastern Pacific
- Hurricane Patricia (2015) – The second-most intense tropical cyclone recorded worldwide in terms of minimum pressure, with a central pressure of 872 millibars (25.8 inHg), and the strongest worldwide in terms 1-minute sustained winds, which peaked at 215 mph (346 km/h). Also underwent one of the most explosive intensification periods known in history, growing from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in 24 hours, not to mention a near 100 millibars (3.0 inHg) drop in just over 24 hours from October 22–23.
Western Pacific
- Typhoon Haiyan (2013) – One of the most intense tropical cyclones recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone to make landfall worldwide, with winds at landfall estimated to be around 195 mph (314 km/h) in the Philippines. Caused massive devastation in the Philippines.
