Lets talk Hurricanes and Cyclones!

[Wrabbit2000]

Well, I was wandering around and noticed the news story about Heathrow cancelling flights for a Hurricane. That got me to wondering just how often that happens, anyway?

I found a site that seems to have the answer for just about anywhere there have been recorded Hurricanes, Typhoons or Cyclones. For England? There have been quite a few. I just chose an area about 200 nautical miles in diameter, off the Irish coast. This showed everything crossing that point.



Including this rather odd one from 2006. The only one like it which I saw from where I looked. (by no means everything)



That last one was named Gordon if anyone wants to look up more about it. Talk about an odd thing for a natural storm to do, eh?

Anyway, the site is "Digital Coast" which is a part of NOAA. This is their Historic Hurricane Tracks database.
