Welcome to our city database, click any city or island for statistical information
on effects from Hurricanes & Tropical Storms within or near the core. (139 locations ) updated to include the 2024 season

These database statistics are based on many different reliable sources. The following types of sources were used: Hurricane books written by forecasters/researchers, NOAA (TPC) databases, HURDAT2 NHC past maps, newspaper articles dating back to the 1930s, television / video references, interviews with victims & forecasters. Jim Williams has spent numerous hours viewing microfilms in libraries for data from old newspaper articles and using detailed maps with the Hurrtrak program. The calculations are found to be relatively accurate based on similar results found graphically at the National Hurricane Center seen here. An example of the zoomed in accuracy using the 2017 tracking map from NHC shows 2 Hurricanes that came into Mexico near Tuxpan. Upon closer examination using the hurrtrak program we find a brush from Hurricane Katia as seen in the red hurricane force wind field unless otherwise stated from NHC or HURDAT. Please keep in mind that these numbers/averages change every year based on the previous hurricane season. After the 2017 season an editorial decision was made to eliminate some cities that were too close together and add others to fill gaps. If your city is not listed, please refer to the nearest city to your location for reference. The cities and islands listed below are ranked on what areas get affected most.
