List of United States hurricanes

List of United States hurricanes

The list of United States hurricanes includes all tropical cyclones officially recorded to have produced sustained winds of greater than 74 mph (118 km/h) in the United States, which is the minimum threshold for hurricane intensity. The list, which is sorted by U.S. state, begins in 1851 with the start of the official Atlantic hurricane database (HURDAT), as provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Hurricane Research Division; the data from 1921 to 1979 is subject to change, due to the lack of official wind speed estimates during the time period. Since 1851, a total of 283 Atlantic tropical cyclones produced hurricane-force winds in 19 states along the Atlantic coast. Additionally, two Pacific hurricanes struck Hawaii, and one Pacific tropical cyclone brought hurricane force winds to California. The tables list hurricanes by category on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, based on winds that occurred in each state.
