It brought severe local flooding to southeastern Texas and was considered the worst disaster in some towns since a Hurricane in 1945.

After the precursor caused a deadly plane crash in Senegal, the storm itself brought severe flooding and wind impacts to the Lesser Antilles and Florida, where Donna made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane.

Hurricane Ethel reached Category 3 intensity, but rapidly weakened before making landfall in Mississippi, resulting in only 1 fatality and $1.5 million in losses.

Two hurricane and four tropical storms made landfall during the season and caused 454 deaths and $410.74 million (1960 USD) in damage.

[5] Observations from a reconnaissance flight on June 22 indicated that a large area of showers and thunderstorms in the Gulf of Mexico was producing winds up to 40 mph (64 km/h).

[7] The storm was the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the state of Kentucky, dropping 11.25 inches (286 mm) in Dunmor.

That day, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Abby, striking Saint Lucia with winds of 65 mph (105 km/h).

The storm brushed the northern coast of Honduras before intensifying into a hurricane on July 15, striking the offshore Roatán island with peak winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

In Martinique, wind gusts of 75 mph (121 km/h) and about 4 inches (100 mm) of rain damaged 33% of banana and sugar cane crops.

[13] A weak low-pressure area in the Gulf of Mexico developed on July 26, organizing into Tropical Storm Brenda a day later.

Later that day, the storm briefly moved offshore before striking southern North Carolina with peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h).

For about a week, the remnants of Brenda drifted and executed a large loop over northern Quebec, Labrador, and adjacent waters, eventually dissipating on August 7.

[14] It brought wind gusts up to 60 mph (97 km/h) and rainfall amounts reaching 14.57 inches (370 mm) at the Tampa International Airport.

[14] Further north, other states reported strong winds and locally heavy rainfall,[15] though no significant damage occurred.

[4] A strong tropical wave produced rainfall and gusty winds in The Bahamas and the Greater Antilles in mid-August.

The wave was closely monitored for possible tropical cyclogenesis and special bulletins were issued by the United States Weather Bureau.

[17] Operationally, the United States Weather Bureau at the hurricane warning center in Miami did not initiate advisories on Cleo until 1500 UTC on August 18.

Because the storm posed a significant threat to New England, a "hurricane watch" was issued for southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island on August 19.

Significant deepening occurred during the next 30 hours, with Donna being a moderate Category 4 hurricane by late on September 2.

[17] While passing through The Bahamas, several small island communities in the central regions of the country were leveled, but no damage total or fatalities were reported.

On the mainland, 5,200 houses were impacted, which does not include the 75% of homes damaged at Fort Myers Beach; 50% of buildings were also destroyed in the city of Everglades.

By early on September 12, the storm made landfall near Topsail Beach, North Carolina with winds of 110 mph (180 km/h).

[17] Donna brought tornadoes and wind gusts as high as 100 mph (160 km/h), damaging or destroying several buildings in Eastern North Carolina, while crops were impacted as far as 50 miles (80 km) inland.

Additionally, storm surge caused significant beach erosion and structural damage Wilmington and Nags Head.

By late on September 14, Ethel reached peak winds of 115 mph (185 km), presenting a well-defined eye.

Cooler air caused a period of rapid weakening, and Ethel moved ashore near Pascagoula, Mississippi with sustained winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

[6][17] In Louisiana, the outer bands of the storm produced light rainfall and hurricane-force winds, though no damage was reported in that state.

On September 21, Florence lost its surface circulation, and the disturbance executed a small cyclonic loop over Cuba.

On September 23, the system redeveloped its surface center, and it became a tropical depression again, moving ashore Monroe County, Florida that day.

It includes their name, duration, peak classification and intensities, areas affected, damage, and death totals.
