1830–39 Atlantic hurricane seasons


The decade of the 1830s featured the 1830–39 Atlantic hurricane seasons. While data is not available for every storm that occurred, some parts of the coastline were populated enough to give data of hurricane occurrences. Each season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation in the Atlantic basin. Most tropical cyclone formation occurs between June 1 and November 30.

I. A hurricane moved from Trinidad to western Cuba between August 3 and August 9.

II. First noted in the Leeward Islands on August 11, a hurricane moved into the Caribbean in the middle of August. It moved west-northwestward, and approached the coast of Florida. It came close to present-day Daytona Beach on August 15, but recurved northeastward before landfall, although land was not spared from effects. It made landfall near Cape Fear on the 16th and went out to sea that night, eventually well to the north of Bermuda just offshore the Canadian Maritimes. The hurricane broke a three-month drought, but caused heavy crop damage in the process.

III. A hurricane tracked north of the Leeward Islands on August 19 through the southwest and western Atlantic by August 26.

IV. A hurricane moved from north of Puerto Rico on September 29 to well northeast of Bermuda on October 1.

V. A tropical storm struck South Carolina on October 6.

I. A tropical storm made landfall in northeast Florida on 10 June.

II. A hurricane formed circa 22 June at an unusually low latitude and moved from south Barbados to the Yucatán Peninsula by 28 June.

III. On 10–17 August, an intense Category 4 hurricane left cataclysmic damage across the Caribbean. After striking Barbados on 10 August, this "Great Barbados Hurricane" damaged Saint Vincent (island), Saint Lucia, Martinique. The storm completely destroyed, Saint Johns Parish church and the town of Les Cayes, Haiti and damaged Santiago de Cuba. The hurricane then drove into Louisiana on 17 August. It left 2,500 people dead and $7 million (1831 dollars) in damage.
