These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclogenesis occurs in the Atlantic basin.
[nb 1] After moving inland, it spawned 14 tornadoes throughout Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
Although intensification briefly slowed, rapid deepening occurred from September 1 to the following day, when Anita peaked as a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 175 mph (280 km/h).
[3] The storm weakened slightly to a Category 4 hurricane before making landfall near Soto la Marina, Tamaulipas.
At Grand Isle, storm tides 2 feet (0.61 m) above normal resulted in hundreds of families being asked to evacuate.
[7][12] The winds caused extensive damage to villages in northeastern Mexico, with about 25,000 people left homeless.
[13] The highest amount of precipitation observed during the storm was 15.2 inches (390 mm) at Soto la Marina, Tamaulipas.
[7] The interaction of a tropical wave and a cold upper low pressure area developed into a subtropical depression in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on September 3.
However, Babe continued to move northeastward and then east-northeastward across the Southeastern United States until dissipating early on September 9.
[7] Six tornadoes were spawned in Louisiana, including one near Hammond that severely damage a country store and knocked six wood-frame homes off their foundations.
[8][15] In other states, Babe brought flash flooding along its path due to rainfall exceeding 7 inches (180 mm) in Mississippi, northwestern Georgia, and western North Carolina.
[8] A convective cloud mass with a spiral band of gale-force winds, associated with the development of Hurricane Babe, moved across the Southeastern United States in early September.
After a slight drop in barometric pressure and an increase in wind speeds, a tropical depression formed inland near Charleston, South Carolina at 1200 UTC on September 5.
[16] Strong wind shear caused Clara to weaken back to a tropical storm on September 9.
[16] In its early stages, the storm dropped light rainfall in the Southeastern United States, peaking at 3.53 inches (90 mm) in Beaufort, South Carolina.
[18] The remnants reached Canada and produced winds of 62 mph (100 km/h) in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, which knocked over campers, uprooted trees, damaged barns, and caused power outages in the area.
A reconnaissance aircraft indicated that the depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Dorothy at 1200 UTC on September 27.
By early on September 29, Dorothy attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 980 mbar (29 inHg).
On September 30, the extratropical remnants of Dorothy were absorbed by a frontal low pressure system located in the northern Atlantic Ocean.
After a significant increase in convection, a tropical depression developed at 1800 UTC on October 13, while located 400 miles (640 km) south of Bermuda.
A ship later reported gale-force winds, prompting an upgrade of the depression to Tropical Storm Evelyn on October 14.
Later on October 15, accelerated to the north-northeast and made landfall on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) at 1200 UTC.
Shortly after entering the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Evelyn merged with a cold front at 1800 UTC on October 15, near the tip of southeastern Newfoundland.
[22] In both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, the storm dropped light rainfall, rarely exceeding 1 inch (25 mm).
The depression moved slowly westward and strengthened into Tropical Storm Frieda on October 17, while passing south of Swan Island.
[3] Frieda continued to intensify until peaking with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,005 mbar (29.7 inHg) early on October 18.
Initially, the depression moved northeastward, though on November 4, a building high pressure area forced it to track north of due west.
Eventually, an upper-level low situated over the Southern United States caused the depression to re-curve north-northwestward.
The remnants continued northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic and New England, before being absorbed by an extratropical cyclone while offshore of Maine on November 11.
It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals.
