However, in the absence of modern satellite and other remote-sensing technologies, only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were recorded, so the actual total could be higher.

[6] Consequently, the hurricane database (HURDAT) started tracking the storm on that day at 00:00 UTC about 60 mi (95 km) east-southeast of Key West, Florida.

At 07:00 UTC on June 4, the storm made landfall over San Luis Pass, 50 mi (80 km) south-southeast of Houston, at peak intensity.

[3] At 00:00 UTC on June 8, the second tropical storm of the season developed 155 mi (250 km) north-northwest of Progreso, Yucatán, three days after the previous system dissipated.

At 17:00 UTC, the cyclone made landfall near present-day Jamaica Beach, 15 mi (25 km) west-southwest of Galveston, at peak intensity.

[10] Strong gales affected coastal Louisiana, and neared hurricane intensity at Lake Charles, downing fruit trees.

At 12:00 UTC on August 15, the cyclone attained peak winds of 115 mph (185 km/h)—equivalent to Category 3 status on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale, which it maintained until landfall in Florida.

[3] As it neared eastern Florida, the storm curved slightly west-northwestward, before making landfall north of Hobe Sound at 02:00 UTC on August 17.

However, Chenoweth's proposed path is similar, aside from nixing the cyclonic loop but still indicating a landfall in Georgia after striking Florida and re-entering the Atlantic.

[12] Gale-force winds in Jacksonville uprooted many trees, topped a few brick walls, damaged tin roofs, and downed telegraph wires, cutting off communications.

[16] A telegram from North Carolina described the rainfall as being generally beneficial to crops in the vicinity of Wilmington and reported that the brig Alice Lee was beached at Frying Pan Shoals.

[7] Chenoweth's study reassessed the hurricane as a Category 4 over the Leeward Islands, with a pressure of 947 mbar (28.0 inHg), and shifted the landfall in Florida farther south, close to the present-day Broward–Palm Beach county line.

As the storm passed near Saba, resident Catholic priest Father Koch observed a barometric pressure of 998 mbar (29.5 inHg) and the destruction of many thatch houses.

[20]: 5  Some newspapers noted that "not a house was left standing on the whole island" and that the storm killed or injured about 150 people,[21] although the death toll is officially listed as 27.

[22] Additionally, numerous shipwrecks occurred, including three ships lost in Puerto Rico, where the storm was dubbed the Santa Juana hurricane.

[18] Strong winds generated by the storm in the Bahamas caused the loss of thousands of fruits, prostrated several trees, and damaged a few buildings in Nassau, including destroying a fire station and unroofing a warehouse.

[13] The only storm of the year not to make landfall, this system was first observed by the ship Dutch Princess on August 30 south of Bermuda, recording sustained winds of nearly 105 mph (165 km/h), equivalent to a Category 2 hurricane.

[7] With the ships Henry Palmer, City of Brooklyn, and Galatea recording similar wind speeds over the next few days, HURDAT indicates that the cyclone maintained this intensity until it was last observed about 65 mi (105 km) southwest of the southern tip of Nova Scotia.

[5] The schooner Robert Myhan encountered a hurricane with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) on September 5,[26] likely located near geographic center of the Gulf of Mexico.

At 14:00 UTC the next day, the cyclone made landfall near Cedar Key, Florida, as a minimal hurricane,[7] with an estimated barometric pressure of 982 mbar (29.0 inHg).

After initially moving northwestward, the cyclone turned northeastward and intensified into a hurricane on October 2, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

At 16:00 UTC the next day, the cyclone finally made landfall in Taylor County, Florida, as a strong tropical storm with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h).

Abnormally high tides elsewhere in the state damaged some warehouses in Port Lavaca and wrecked or foundered several ships, particularly near Galveston, leading to at least three deaths.

[10] The hurricane downed many large trees in southeastern Louisiana, deroofed homes, and toppled telegraph poles, causing about $5,000 in damage.

[11] On October 10, the ship Nellie Antrim first observed this system northeast of the British Virgin Islands, with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

Its intensity remained steady at that level while initially moving westward, prior to turning northward and then paralleling the East Coast of the United States.

The hurricane made landfall near Pleasant Point, Nova Scotia, early on October 13 and was last noted hours later as a tropical storm over the Gulf of St.

Moving very slowly westward, the cyclone made landfall in British Honduras (present-day Belize) early on September 18 as a tropical storm and soon dissipated.

Heading generally west-northwestward, the system made landfall in Nicaragua near Tasbapauni on October 4 and dissipated early the next day.

The system curved northeastward on October 19 and began losing tropical characteristics, becoming extratropical on the next day about halfway between Bermuda and Sable Island.
