NEUS October TC Landfalls

[vortex95]

So with TS Joaquin a threat for a possible landfall eventually, I looked through the complete hurricane database

for the Atlantic.  There have been landfalling TCs not yet fully ET/PT in New England and LI in October...all prior

to 1924.  The Hurricane Re-analysis Project has checked over all these systems and officially accepted them into

the historical TC database.  Of course, there is still some uncertainty as to the true nature of these systems by

the time they made landfall in the NEUS given how late in the season they were, but this is the best we have

and are considered official.
