1) we don't know if this was a first because for the latter half of that period, we generally didn't know of the existence of a given hurricane unless it approached landfall. That ability only came with weather satellites.

2) note: this site tries to get the browser's location. Always use weather.gov (the U.S. Weather Service site), not weather.com, for forecasts.

So pre-global warming we where having at least 4 a century, now we are down to one or less (with the new ability of satellite data to catch them all, you'd conclude we are even better off)

1893: 10, 1886: 10, 1878: 10, 1880: 9
