[3] The final system, a tropical depression, was absorbed by a cold front on December 1, one month after the official end of the season on November 1, 1947.

[5] The United States death toll of 53 was low compared to 20 years earlier in spite of the Fort Lauderdale (George) and Cape Sable (King) hurricanes crossing urban areas.

At 00:00 UTC on August 2, the storm attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1001 mbar (29.6 inHg).

The depression moved northwestward across the Caribbean Sea and remained weak for a few days, before reaching tropical storm status on 00:00 UTC on August 12.

About 16 hours later, the cyclone – known to the United States Air Force as Tropical Storm Charlie[8] – made landfall near Punta Allen, Quintana Roo, with winds of 50 mph (80 km/h).

Heavy rainfall caused small lakes and rivers to rise rapidly, flooding homes in the poorer sections and forcing a number of families to flee to higher ground.

About 12 hours later, the hurricane peaked with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 984 mbar (29.1 inHg); the latter was observed on land and was used to estimate the former.

[4] Operationally, this cyclone was believed to have been two systems, causing the United States Air Force to inadvertently assign it two names – Dog and Easy.

[2] At Texas City, communication lines were downed, signs were toppled, homes were deroofed, and boats were washed ashore or set adrift.

[6][4] Several hours later, the depression strengthened into a tropical storm,[4] which was named George by the United States Air Force in real time.

The storm intensified further over the next few days and later peaked as a Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (233 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 938 mbar (27.7 inHg).

[20] Thereafter, George continued westward and re-intensified into a Category 4 at 12:00 UTC on September 17, just three and a half hours before the storm made landfall near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with winds of 130 mph (210 km/h).

[21] Many vegetable plantings, citrus groves,[22] and cattle were submerged or drowned as the storm exacerbated already high water levels and briefly threatened to breach the dikes surrounding Lake Okeechobee.

[24] On the west coast of the state, the storm caused further flooding, extensive damage south of the Tampa Bay area, and the loss of the Cuban fishing vessel Antonio Cerdado offshore Fort Myers, resulting in seven deaths.

[21][25][28] At 00:00 UTC on September 7, a low pressure area developed into a tropical depression about 135 mi (217 km) south-southwest of Cape St. George Island, Florida.

[4][2] The depression moved northward and intensified, reaching tropical storm status about 18 hours later,[4] and being assigned the name "Fox" by the United States Air Force.

[30][2] At 22:00 UTC on September 21, the cyclone struck Cuba's Isla de la Juventud with winds of 50 mph (80 km/h), about five hours before making landfall near the modern day border of Artemisa and Pinar del Río provinces.

The storm was already losing tropical characteristics prior to landfall,[2] and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone by 00:00 UTC on September 24, just two hours after moving inland.

[31] An extratropical low pressure area transitioned into a tropical storm offshore North Florida on October 7, after acquiring a more symmetrical structure and the strongest winds moving closer to the center.

However, the system had characteristics of a subtropical cyclone, including a moderate temperature gradient still existing at the center and an upper-level trough remaining associated with the storm.

[4] It executed a cyclonic loop, briefly emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near Apalachicola, Florida, before moving inland again over rural Taylor County.

[34] A low pressure area detached from a cold front and developed into a tropical depression on October 8, about 710 mi (1,140 km) southwest of Flores Island in the Azores.

Moving slowly northeastward, the cyclone strengthened, despite relatively cool air and sea surface temperatures,[2] with sustained winds reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) later that day.

The storm strengthened as it turned to the west, and on October 15, King made its final landfall near the Georgia–South Carolina state line as a Category 2 hurricane.

A Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress dropped 80 lb (36 kg) of dry ice onto the storm from 500 ft (150 m) above its cloudtop after it had moved 350 mi (560 km) off Jacksonville, Florida.

The high tides in Charleston, South Carolina, caused minor beach erosion and isolated street flooding, and one person was killed there by a falling tree.

[2] The storm, designated as "Love" in real time by the United States Air Force,[8] moved west-northwestward and re-curved to the northwest, avoiding landfall in the Leeward Islands, the Greater Antilles, and the Bahamas.

At 00:00 UTC on October 22, the storm weakened to a Category 1 hurricane and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone about six hours later while situated about 575 mi (925 km) southeast of Newfoundland.

By the following day, the depression either dissipated over moved rapidly northeastward ahead of a cold front and was last noted in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.
