Hurricane One According to the
Weather Bureau, a "feeble disturbance" developed into a tropical storm near
West End in the
Bahamas early on August 2. Three hours later, the storm made
landfall in
Hobe Sound, Florida, with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). The system briefly weakened to a tropical depression on August 2, before re-strengthening into a tropical storm and emerging into the
Gulf of Mexico near
Tarpon Springs. Later that day, the cyclone intensified quickly, becoming a Category 1 hurricane on the modern-day
Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale at 23:00
UTC. Simultaneously, the hurricane made a second Florida landfall on
St. George Island with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h), an intensity estimated mainly based on the severity of damage in the area. About 24 hours of heavy rainfall was observed in the
Tampa area, which the
Morning Tribune noted caused "great damage ... in many places." In the
Florida Panhandle, considerable impact was inflicted to crops, turpentine farms, and property. Offshore, three barges, four tugboats, and many sailing crafts sank. Among the capsized vessels was the tugboat
Nimrod, with 12 people aboard, all of whom drowned. Climate researcher Michael Chenoweth's reanalysis, published in 2014, suggests that the storm did not become a tropical storm until reaching the Gulf of Mexico, but did not propose any other significant changes. Around 07:00 UTC on August 31, the hurricane made landfall at the south end of
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The cyclone weakened to a tropical storm about five hours later and then curved westward. Late on September 1, the storm weakened to a tropical depression and dissipated over Alabama. Severe damage occurred near the storm's point of landfall, with sustained winds of at
Tybee Island, Georgia. with a storm total of . Overall, the storm caused approximately $400,000 in damage, nearly all in Savannah and at nearby rice plantations. Chenoweth argued that this storm developed as a tropical depression on August 29 just north of the
Abaco Islands in the
Bahamas and weakened slower over the
Southeastern United States, dissipating over
Tennessee on September 2. Later, waves waterlogged the
America and eventually caused it to capsize, but the
Marengo rescued the crew. The storm moved northeastward and was last encountered by the brig
Iddesleigh on September 5, Saint Vincent also experienced significant impact, especially on the west side of the island. Windward Islands governor
Cornelius Alfred Moloney noted that "From
Buccamont to
Kingstown ... everything is destroyed." A telegraph between British government officials stated that the storm destroyed 2,000 dwellings and damaged numerous others, leaving roughly 15,000 people homeless, though a report authored by T. A. Carpenter and published in the
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society reported 6,000 homes demolished or damaged beyond repair and raised the number of persons rendered homeless to about 20,000. The National Hurricane Center estimated in 1996 that this hurricane caused 283 to 383 fatalities, with 200 and 300 fatalities on Saint Vincent and 83 deaths on Barbados. However, this excludes 18 deaths on
Guadeloupe and another after a crew member of a ship was swept overboard over the open Atlantic. According to Chenoweth's reanalysis study, this cyclone did not form until September 9. The storm also had two stints as a major hurricane, first while passing through the Lesser Antilles and later on September 18 and September 19, before dissipating east of Newfoundland on the next day; the storm peaked with winds of 120 mph (195 km/h) each time. In
Lake Charles, rains flooded streets and caused losses to rice crops, while winds downed many telephone poles. Similarly, the town of
Jennings noted damage to rice crops, with losses totaling "many thousands", according to
The Times-Democrat. Farther east,
New Orleans reported sustained winds up to . Elsewhere, winds and precipitation from the storm and its remnants spread across parts of the
Mississippi Valley and
Eastern United States. At the former, a Weather Bureau observer considered the 48-hour rainfall amount of to be unprecedent when compared to the then-19 years of records at that location. Some homes in Pensacola reported floodwaters reaching as high as above the floor. Nearby, the ship
Bellevue capsized at a
Perdido Key wharf. In Louisiana, precipitation generated by the storm flooded several streets in New Orleans. Similar to the previous cyclone, the track for this storm is not started by Chenoweth until it is over the west-central Gulf of Mexico on September 27, but otherwise proposes only minor alterations to the system's path, duration, and intensity. Though only minor impacts occurred in
Jacksonville, the city lost communications with areas farther north. Nearby,
Jacksonville Beach (then known as Pablo Beach) and
Mayport reported damage due to storm surge. Farther north, storm surge may have reached in height in
Fernandina Beach, flooding much of the town. Damage in Florida was conservatively estimated at $500,000. Overall, the storm caused significant damage amounting to around $1.5 million, Chenoweth's reanalysis initiates the track for this storm north of Puerto Rico on September 21. The storm had two stints as a major hurricane, the first from September 25 to September 28, with the cyclone peaking with winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) on September 27. Additionally, Chenoweth argued that the system passed over portions of the eastern Bahamas while at peak intensity, and later transitioned into an extratropical cyclone over
Lake Erie on October 5. According to Chenoweth, however, damage ascribed to this storm in the Bahamas was actually related to the previous hurricane, which he places near Eleuthera and Great Abaco Island during this timeframe as a Category 4 hurricane. Eight people in the area drowned, along with numerous cattle. In Florida, squalls and rough seas impacted at least the vicinity of
Miami. Two people went missing from
Lemon City (now the Miami neighborhood of Little Haiti) after their boat sank in a wave, but were later rescued. The storm moved almost due west, passing through the northern Leeward Islands and then just south of
Puerto Rico,
Hispaniola, and Jamaica before making landfall at
Ambergris Caye,
British Honduras, with winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) on November 3. The system weakened as it continued westward over Mexico and dissipated on the following day near
Coatzacoalcos,
Veracruz. Fernández-Partagás and Diaz noted that "Very little information was found about this storm" and expressed "skepticism regarding the existence and evolution of this storm". On September 2, the next unofficial system formed over the southwestern Caribbean. The storm moved northwestward and attained hurricane status within 24 hours. It then turned west-northwestward and struck Belize (then known as British Honduras) late on September 4, before reaching the Gulf of Mexico the next day. The storm moved northwestward to north-northwestward and appeared to threaten Texas before curving east-northeastward on September 8. The cyclone then curved northwestward on September 10, two days before making landfall near
Abbeville, Louisiana, and quickly dissipating. Chenoweth theorized that a tropical depression developed near the Cabo Verde Islands on September 29. The cyclone strengthened into a tropical storm on the next day and moved parabolically across the eastern Atlantic until dissipating south of the
Azores on October 8. The final unofficial system formed well east of Bermuda on November 8. Initially a tropical depression, it became a subtropical storm but then a fully tropical storm late the following day while moving slowly northwestward. The storm then executed a small cyclonic loop before becoming extratropical late on November 14. ==Season effects==
