It is, however, also considered an extremely active season in terms of accumulated cyclone energy, due to the strength and longevity of several of its hurricanes.
September brought three storms, including a deadly hurricane, with catastrophic impacts in Pensacola and Mobile.
Modern-day efforts have been made and are still ongoing to reconstruct the tracks of known hurricanes and to identify initially undetected storms.
[2][3] The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 163, the highest total since 1893.
[5] The system continued traveling north-northwestward, making landfall near Panama City on June 13, quickly weakening to a tropical depression as it moved inland.
This first hurricane of the season's effects were first noted in Santa Clara, Cuba, where rainy and windy conditions were observed on the afternoon of June 14.
On June 17, a minimum pressure of 979 mbar (hPa; 28.91 inHg) was recorded, as the hurricane passed over southern Florida.
[2] Impacts caused by the hurricane were minimal—a boat was partially dismantled at Key West, and a wharf at Coconut Grove was also damaged.
[2] The hurricane maintained its intensity and passed northwest of Bermuda on September 9, where winds reached 70 mph (115 km/h) and air pressures fell to 988 mbar (hPa; 29.18 inHg).
The storm continued to weaken, eventually becoming a Category 2 hurricane on September 11;[2] at this time, the Koenigin Luise measured an air pressure of 950 mbar (hPa; 28.06 inHg).
[6] The system became extratropical later during the day, and lost its identity on September 12 in the North Atlantic near the British Isles.
The hurricane made landfall near Myrtle Beach later on September 17, and quickly weakened to a tropical storm as it moved inland.
[2] The hurricane caused moderate impacts — two hundred people were stranded at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
[7] At Charleston, South Carolina, winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) were recorded, in addition to a barometric pressure of 997 mbar (hPa; 29.44 inHg).
It continued to intensify steadily, eventually reaching hurricane status on September 24 as it exited the Yucatán Channel.
The hurricane continued to intensify as it moved north-northwest and attained Category 2 intensity in the Gulf of Mexico.
[13] Mobile and surrounding areas suffered similar damage, including destroyed timber,[6] smashed windows, and sunken watercraft.
By September 30, the depression curved west-northwestward and dissipated near Cuba's Cabo San Antonio on the following day.
Barometric pressures began sinking in Panama as the system drifted westward,[15] and it was considered a tropical storm by October 8.
As it began to curve northwestward, the hurricane made landfall in Nicaragua, and weakened to a tropical storm on October 11.
[2] The hurricane wreaked havoc throughout its path — crops in Central America suffered severe damage, and rainfall destroyed many roads and bridges in Nicaragua.
[note 2] A tropical storm was believed to have formed from a low-pressure area, possibly on the tail end of a cold front on October 14.
[15] The storm moved westward; however, it began to curve west-southwestward on October 15, as it reached its peak winds of 50 mph (80 km/h).
The tropical storm moved northwest, but changed direction and began to curve northeastward on October 17.
[2] The final storm of the season started as a tropical depression on November 5, located in the Caribbean, south of Cuba.
