Formed=October 9
Dissipated=October 23
1-min winds=130
Pressure=924The final storm was the strongest tropical cyclone of the season. It was a strong Category 4 hurricane that took an unusual track through the western Caribbean. It formed north of Panama and strengthened fairly rapidly as it moved north. It crossed over the western tip of Cuba, slowed to a crawl, and began deepening rapidly, strengthening from a Category 2 to a Category 4 in the space of 12 hours. It made a tight, cyclonic loop, swamping Cuba with heavy rainfall, reaching peak winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 924 mbar (27.28 inHg). The hurricane then turned northward after looping and passed just west of Key West while weakening in intensity, making landfall near Fort Myers, Florida as a strong Category 2 hurricane. Structural damage was heavy in Key West but only one man was killed there. The storm did most of its $189,000 (1910 dollars) in damage there and in the Port Charlotte area, where 12 people were killed. The hurricane was known as the "Cyclone of the Five Days" in Cuba, where it produced heavy precipitation. Heavy cattle losses occurred, and more than 700 people were killed.cite web|url=http://www.cubahurricanes.org/history-hurricanes-chronicles.php|title=Cuba Hurricanes Historic Threats|publisher=CubaHurricanes.org|accessdate=2008-03-01]
