It became the most intense cyclone of the season, peaking as a Category 4 hurricane on the modern day Saffir–Simpson scale with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).
[3] Overall, the tropical cyclones of the season collectively resulted in $7.6 million in damage and approximately 2,533 deaths, with the vast majority of the destruction being caused by the British Honduras hurricane.
After attaining peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) early on June 25, the storm struck the Yucatán Peninsula and subsequently emerged into the Gulf of Mexico.
[12] Localized but significant rainfall fell across South Texas, maximized at 12.6 in (320 mm) in Runno,[13] inundating some streets in Corpus Christi to a depth of 2–3 ft (0.6–0.9 m).
[2] Rising creeks and rivers throughout Kleburg County inundated the cotton and feed crops,[14] and farther west in Hebbronville, hundreds of acres of land were flooded.
The storm banked north once in the Gulf of Mexico and attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) late on July 14, based on observations from a ship.
The cyclone moved north-northwest, weakening to a tropical depression on July 16 and ultimately dissipating south of Tulsa, Oklahoma, after 06:00 UTC the following morning.
[17] The rough surf atop the 6 ft (1.8 m) tide generated along the Mississippi coast damaged some piers and sank several small boats.
[20] A boxcar traversing the Illinois Central Railroad at Gulfport was derailed into the sea after part of the track was impacted by storm surge.
As the cyclone turned to the west from the west-northwest, it continued to intensify, reaching maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) late on August 12.
[2] After the cyclone emerged into the Gulf of Mexico, several ports in the state of Veracruz closed to boat traffic in anticipation of the storm.
While officially recognized as a tropical storm beginning at 06:00 UTC the next morning,[3] there are no conclusive indications that the system ever attained winds of 40 mph (65 km/h); the lack of substantive evidence simply prevented a downgrade during the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project.
[2] Nevertheless, the weak cyclone progressed through the U.S. Virgin Islands and into the southwestern Atlantic, where it fell to tropical depression intensity early on August 18.
[5] As part of the Atlantic hurricane reanalysis project, a previously unidentified tropical cyclone was found to have developed just north of the Leeward Islands by 00:00 UTC on September 1, although this could have occurred sooner.
It moved nearly due west throughout its lifespan, intensifying to a tropical storm early on September 3 and making landfall along the coastline of northeastern Hispaniola around 14:00 UTC that day with winds of 45 mph (75 km/h).
[22] The normally dry Portugués River was transformed into a torrent of water that carried many small houses and huts downstream,[23] crashing them into a bridge leading to the harbor front in Ponce.
In the immediate wake of the storm, 30 bodies were recovered, though swollen rivers prevented access to hard-hit locations and that number was expected to increase.
[7] Governor Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ordered all government departments to assist in search and rescue,[22] while the Red Cross cared for 250 homeless in Ponce.
[30] Upon landfall on the mainland, the system delivered winds up to 132 mph (212 km/h)[2] and a large storm surge in Belize City, inundating streets to a depth of 5–9 ft (2–3 m).
[2] Due to its small stature, damage in Puerto Rico was mainly confined to the San Juan district, and in fact, many residents across the island were unaware a hurricane had occurred.
Peripheral data from nearby ships indicate it attained tropical storm intensity early on September 24 and gradually strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane four days later, with peak winds of 75 mph (120 km/h).
A tropical depression, which may have originated from a decaying frontal boundary, formed north of Cat Island in the Bahamas around 12:00 UTC on October 13.
The cyclone moved west-northwest through the northern archipelago islands but failed to reach tropical storm intensity until early on October 15, when it had curved northeast away from the Bahamas.
The broad system attained peak winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) before transitioning into an extratropical cyclone and combining with a nearby low by 12:00 UTC on October 16 to the west of Bermuda.
[2] A broad trough or area of low pressure persisted in the western Caribbean Sea for a few days before organizing into a tropical depression north of Honduras around 12:00 UTC on October 18.
After crossing Cuba, it continued through the Bahamas and into the western Atlantic, where it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone southwest of Bermuda by 00:00 UTC on October 21.
[2] Another previously undocumented tropical cyclone began as an area of low pressure that persisted over the southwestern Caribbean Sea for several days in early November.
The system curved toward the north-northwest, narrowly avoiding Honduras and Nicaragua, but banked back toward the west-northwest thereafter and attained peak winds of 50 mph (85 km/h).
It weakened over the Yucatán Peninsula and emerged into the Bay of Campeche, where the storm lost its closed circulation and dissipated after 18:00 UTC on November 16.
Stormy weather was recorded on Antigua, and on Saint Lucia, a high tide coupled with 3.5 inches (89 mm) of rain in three hours flooded one building.
