Atlantic hurricane seasons
1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888

The 1886 Atlantic hurricane season was an active and record breaking Atlantic hurricane season that ran through the early summer and the first half of fall in 1886. Out of the ten known hurricanes, seven of them struck the United States at that intensity;[1][2] an all-time record. The season also had the most active June, and reached the modern seasonal average of hurricanes by mid-August.[3] This occurred once more in 1893, and has remained a distant record since. Four of the hurricanes also reached major hurricane status. However, with the absence of modern satellites and other remote-sensing technologies, only storms that affected populated land areas or encountered ships at sea were documented. The actual total is likely higher with an average under-count bias estimate of zero to six tropical cyclones per year between 1851 and 1885 and zero to four per year between 1886 and 1910.[4] Several studies have also suggested that the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa may have played a significant role in the unusual and enhanced activity.[5][6] Hurricane Seven and Tropical Storm Eleven were recently documented in 1996 by Jose Fernandez-Partagas and Henry Diaz, in which they also proposed alterations to other known tracks of several other 1886 storms.[7]

Seasonal summary

[edit]
1886 Indianola hurricaneSaffir–Simpson scale

The 1886 Atlantic hurricane season commenced at 06:00 UTC on June 13.[8] The season was approximately average, featuring 12 tropical storms compared to the more modern 1981–2010 annual average of 12.1.[9] The number of hurricanes, however, was well above average, with 10 forming compared to the latest 1991–2020 annual average of 7.2.[10] The number of major hurricanes—defined as Category 3 or higher on the modern Saffir–Simpson scale—was four; also above average compared to an average of 3.2. Owing to deficiencies in surface weather observations at the time, the total number of tropical storms in 1886 was likely higher than 12. A 2008 study indicated that about three storms may have been missed by observational records due to scarce marine traffic over the open Atlantic Ocean.[11] All but two of the storms in 1886 affected land at some point in the tropical stages of their life cycles.[8] Of these, four hurricanes struck the island of Cuba, a record unsurpassed in any Atlantic hurricane season since at least 1851.[12] According to the Cuban Meteorological Society, 1886 coincided with a highly active period (1837–1910) in which one hurricane struck the island every 9.25 years.[13] Additionally, seven hurricanes made struck in the United States, establishing another record for the number of hurricane strikes in a single season. The years 1886–1887 also featured 9 U.S. hurricane landfalls; an unsurpassed total for consecutive seasons that remained distant until 2004–2005.[2][14] Hurricane activity centered on the Gulf of Mexico: all six landfalls in 1886 (and 3 in 1887) occurred on the U.S. Gulf Coast, with no hurricanes making landfall along the Atlantic Seaboard.[15]

Although other storms may have gone undetected, tropical activity first began on June 13 with the formation of the first named storm over the western Gulf of Mexico. Two other storms formed before the end of the month and also reached the Gulf of Mexico. All three of the storms each attained hurricane intensity and eventually made landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast with sustained winds of 100 mph (160 km/h).[8] About 2 weeks later in mid-July, another storm formed over the western Caribbean moved northward before striking the west coast of Florida as a hurricane. This is after two earlier stronger storms had already done so in the state. Never before or since have so many hurricanes struck Florida in the same season before the month of September.[16] Three storms, all of which attained major hurricane intensity, formed in close succession, over a span of eight days, in August. The first of these, the Indianola hurricane, was the strongest and most intense tropical cyclone of the season, striking multiple islands in the Greater Antilles before rapidly strengthening over the western Gulf of Mexico. It struck the U.S. state of Texas on August 20 with sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h), tying it with the 1932 Freeport hurricane for the strongest storm to do so.[15] It was also one of the most intense to have struck the continental U.S., and the strongest in Texas measured solely by central pressure. September was a less active than August, featuring two hurricanes in the later half of the month. Both reached Category 2 intensity, while hurricane eight struck Texas at peak intensity about a month after the Indianola hurricane. Around the same time hurricane nine formed out to sea, and impacted several ships. About 2 weeks later, the final hurricane formed in early October and struck western Louisiana with winds of 120 mph (190 km/h). The hurricane then moved on to strike Texas shortly after, being the 4th and final to do so that year. Since records began in 1851, only 2 hurricanes have struck the state later into the season. Two additional tropical storms occurred in October, with no further activity confirmed afterward.[8]

Hurricane One

[edit]
Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 13 – June 15
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);
<997 mbar (hPa)

Early in June, unsettled weather prevailed over the western Caribbean Sea, causing heavy rain and strong winds over Jamaica as early as June 7–8.[17] However, ship reports and data from weather stations first confirmed that a low-pressure area formed off the coast of South Texas.[18][19] Based on the data, HURDAT analyzed that a tropical storm formed about 140 miles (230 km) east-southeast of La Pesca, in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, on the morning of June 13.[8] Moving generally northward at first, the cyclone quickly intensified through the day as it gradually turned to the north-northeast, paralleling the Texas coast. By 06:00 UTC on June 14, the cyclone already attained hurricane status, and its parabolic path increasingly bent to the northeast. Around 16:00 UTC, the cyclone attained its peak intensity of 100 mph (160 km/h), equivalent to a modern-day Category 2 hurricane, and made landfall just east of High Island, Texas. The cyclone rapidly weakened as it headed inland to the east-northeast, crossing south-central Louisiana as a tropical storm on June 15. Reanalysis in the 1990s determined that it dissipated about 20 miles (32 km) east-southeast of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, by 18:00 UTC on June 15.[8][17]

As it passed just offshore, the hurricane produced strong winds from the east and northeast in Galveston, Texas, generating very high tides. Observers suggested that only the shifting of the winds prevented severe flooding, possibly the worst since a hurricane in 1875; even so, small boats sustained significant damage. Waterfront structures, a tramway, and a railroad were destroyed.[19] Galveston recorded peak winds of 50 mph (80 km/h), and a barometer in town registered a minimum pressure of 29.43 inHg (997 mb);[19] as these conditions were recorded outside the storm's radius of maximum wind, the cyclone was likely stronger.[15] Upon making landfall, the hurricane brought a 7-to-8-foot (2.1 to 2.4 m) storm tide and major flooding to Sabine Pass and its environs.[20] Numerous structures and wharves were destroyed by wind or water,[19] and winds tore roofs from houses. Fruit trees in the area lost much of their fruit.[20] Saltwater intrusion extended several miles inland, imperiling livestock for want of freshwater.[19] Across the state border in adjourning Louisiana, widespread flooding occurred at Calcasieu Pass, where a barge stranded and schooners were wrecked. Half of the corn crop in southwest Louisiana was damaged.[20] While losing intensity so rapidly after landfall that forecasters lost track of it,[19] the storm generated prolific rainfall in its path across Southeast Texas and Louisiana,[17][19] peaking at 21.4 inches (544 mm) in Alexandria, Louisiana.[20]

Hurricane Two

[edit]
Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 17 – June 24
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);

Little more than a day after the dissipation of the previous hurricane, a broad area of low pressure over the western Caribbean Sea developed into a tropical storm while centered about 180 miles (290 km) east-southeast of Punta Allen, Quintana Roo, Mexico.[8][17] Over the next two days, the storm meandered toward and through the Yucatán Channel, gradually intensifying as it proceeded to the north-northwest and north. Late on June 18, the system attained hurricane status off the western tip of Pinar del Río Province, Cuba. The following day, the cyclone turned to the north-northeast, producing "severe gales" (47–54 mph, 76–87 km/h) over the waters off Cuba and Jamaica, as reported by ships.[19] At 00:00 UTC on June 20, the storm reached its peak intensity of 100 mph (160 km/h), and shortly afterward its forward speed accelerated. At 11:00 UTC on June 21, the cyclone made landfall near St. Marks, Florida, as a Category 2 hurricane.[8] The storm gradually decreased in intensity over the next day and a half as it crossed the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. By 18:00 UTC on June 23, the system passed about 70 miles (110 km) southeast of New York City and curved to the east before dissipating a day later.[8]

Over a six-day period, a long duration of heavy rainfall from the storm caused severe flooding over parts of western Cuba, killing an undetermined number of people in flash floods. Winds over the island were apparently modest, however,[17] though the rain over Vuelta Abajo was the heaviest over a one-week span in 29 years. Several locations were underwater following the deluge.[21] As it passed west of Key West, Florida, the cyclone produced strong southerly winds there. At Cedar Key, gusts of 75–90 mph (121–145 km/h) toppled trees, signage and communications wires, but caused little structural damage.[21] Between there and Apalachicola, above-normal tides covered low-lying streets and pushed ships onshore. Heaviest damages were concentrated in and near Apalachicola and Tallahassee.[16] The storm produced minimal effects in the Jacksonville area, as hurricane-force winds were confined to the west of the Gainesville–Lake City area.[22] The strongest sustained winds measured in Florida were below hurricane force—only 68 mph (109 km/h) at Cedar Key[21]—but "high tides" affected much of the coastline near the point of landfall.[23] Outside Florida, heavy rains, peaking at 5.44 in (138 mm), inundated streets in Lynchburg, Virginia, producing the then-wettest June on record at that place. A daily record for the month, 4.16 in (106 mm), also occurred in Washington, D.C.[24]

In a 1949 report by meteorologist Grady Norton, the U.S. Weather Bureau—later the National Weather Service—considered the storm a "Great Hurricane", implying winds of at least 125 mph (201 km/h),[16][25] though reassessments could find no evidence that the cyclone ever reached major hurricane status.[23]

Hurricane Three

[edit]
Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJune 27 – July 2
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);
<999 mbar (hPa)

Closely following the dissipation of the previous storm, yet another tropical storm developed about 90 miles (140 km) west of Negril, Jamaica, at 12:00 UTC on June 27. The system quickly strengthened as it headed north-northwest, acquiring hurricane intensity early the next day. Sharply turning to the west-northwest, the cyclone continued to intensify, reaching its first peak intensity of 90 mph (140 km/h) at 18:00 UTC on June 28. Maintaining force, it struck Pinar del Río Province, Cuba, later that day.[8] On June 29, the cyclone weakened as it crossed western Cuba, but began restrengthening over the eastern Gulf of Mexico as its path turned northwestward. Early on June 30, the hurricane attained its second and strongest peak of 100 mph (160 km/h) as its path began curving to the north. Veering and accelerating to the northeast, the storm struck the Florida Panhandle near Indian Pass around 21:00 UTC that day. The cyclone weakened as it headed inland, losing its identity near Cedartown, Maryland, late on July 2.[8]

In Jamaica, "at least" 18 deaths were attributed to the effects of the storm,[26] and a ship west of the island experienced hurricane-force winds.[21] While described as being of only "moderate intensity", the hurricane caused considerable damage to western Cuba, where homes were destroyed or lost their roofs and trees were prostrated; flooding was reportedly severe as well.[27] Damage was concentrated in and near Batabanó and across Pinar del Río Province. Trece de la Coloma reported a minimum pressure of 29.49 inHg (999 mb). Two drownings occurred when a ship capsized,[21] and an unknown number of fatalities occurred on land in Cuba.[26] In Florida, the eye of the cyclone passed over Apalachicola, which reported top winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). Homes in town lost their roofs, frame buildings collapsed, and several craft in the bay sank, killing some people.[21] At Cedar Key, high tides undermined roadways, and winds of 47–54 mph (76–87 km/h) removed a warehouse from its foundation. Winds gusting to 80 mph (130 km/h) uprooted large trees and moved railroad cars in Tallahassee; one person perished in Jefferson County.[16] "Considerable" destruction of crops occurred in parts of North Florida and adjacent Georgia.[21] Farther north, in North Carolina, winds of 42–44 mph (68–71 km/h) affected Kitty Hawk and Fort Macon, respectively.[28] Copious rains affected southeast Virginia over a two-day span, destroying railroad trestles and embankments. The James River crested 10 feet (3.0 m) above flood stage, flooding waterfront structures in Richmond and prompting evacuations.[24]

Hurricane Four

[edit]
Category 1 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationJuly 14 – July 22
Peak intensity85 mph (140 km/h) (1-min);
≤990 mbar (hPa)

After nearly two quiet weeks, the fourth tropical storm of the season developed about 105 miles (169 km) west-southwest of George Town, Cayman Islands, at 06:00 UTC on July 14. For two more days, the system drifted west-northwest, gradually strengthening. On July 16, the cyclone began turning to the northeast and accelerated. It reached hurricane status at 12:00 UTC on July 17 and passed just west of Cuba later that day.[8] Its path then bent to the north-northeast, and early the next day, the storm attained its first peak intensity of 80 mph (130 km/h) as its eye neared the west coast of the Florida peninsula. Around 01:00 UTC on July 19, the hurricane made landfall near Ozello, Florida, at that intensity. The storm soon lost hurricane status as it swiftly turned to the east-northeast, briskly crossing North Florida en route to the Atlantic Ocean. At 00:00 UTC on July 20, the storm recovered hurricane status while centered about 140 miles (230 km) south-southeast of Cape Lookout, North Carolina, and six hours later attained its second and strongest peak of 85 mph (137 km/h). The storm acquired extratropical characteristics early on July 23, and after curving to the northeast over the far north Atlantic, it dissipated at 18:00 UTC on July 24.[8]

Although it bypassed the island to the west, the cyclone generated heavy rains over western Cuba throughout July 16–17,[29] causing rivers to overflow their banks.[30] An anemometer in Key West measured top winds of 52 mph (84 km/h) during the passage of the hurricane, with no damage to shipping in the harbor. A few schooners were forced to shelter in safe harbor overnight.[30] Overall damage near the point of landfall in Florida was slight, as the area was thinly inhabited. Off the Atlantic coast of the Southeastern United States, the storm interrupted maritime traffic.[16] Multiple ships in the path of the storm recorded hurricane-force winds; the lowest pressure reported dipped to 29.23 inHg (990 mb).[31]

Hurricane Five

[edit]
Main article: 1886 Indianola hurricane
Category 4 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 12 – August 21
Peak intensity150 mph (240 km/h) (1-min);
925 mbar (hPa)

A tropical storm developed east of Trinidad and Tobago on August 12 and began moving northwestward. Originally it was thought the storm became a Category 1 hurricane the next day but re-analysis now shows it remained as a tropical storm until August 14.[32] On the evening of August 15 it reached the island of Hispaniola. After crossing the south of that island as a Category 1 hurricane, it struck southeastern Cuba on August 16 as a Category 2 hurricane.[32] The storm briefly weakened whilst over land and entered the Gulf of Mexico near Matanzas on August 18 as a Category 1 storm. As the hurricane crossed the Gulf of Mexico it strengthened further, first to a Category 2 then to a Category 3 cyclone. As it approached the coast of Texas, it had intensified to a 150 mph (240 km/h) Category 4 hurricane.

On August 20, it made landfall as a category 4 hurricane at that strength with catastrophic results. At Indianola, Texas, a storm surge of 15 feet overwhelmed the town. Every building in the town was either destroyed or left uninhabitable. When the Signal Office there was blown down, a fire started which took hold and destroyed several neighboring blocks. The village of Quintana, at the mouth of the Brazos River was also destroyed.[33] At Houston the bayou rose between 5 and 6 feet on August 19. Bridges were overrun by flood water and trees blown over at Galveston. Offshore several ships were wrecked there.[33] Since the town of Indianola was destroyed, it was abandoned and never rebuilt. After making landfall, the storm eventually dissipated on August 21 in the northwest corner of Texas.

Hurricane Six

[edit]
Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 15 – August 27
Peak intensity120 mph (195 km/h) (1-min);
≤977 mbar (hPa)

The Cuba Hurricane of 1886

On August 15 a hurricane was seen 90 miles northeast of Barbados. On August 16 it passed over the island of Saint Vincent as Category 2 hurricane. The hurricane passed north of Grenada and continued westward towards the coast of Venezuela, bringing a heavy gale, and some damage to Curaçao before curving north. Around midnight on August 19 it hit Jamaica, still at Category 2 intensity. The island experienced winds of 110 mph (180 km/h) throughout August 19 and 20th. The hurricane approached the south coast of Cuba as a major Category 3 hurricane on August 21. It crossed Cuba over the central province of Ciego de Ávila before exiting the island near Moron on the north coast. The hurricane then passed over Nassau on the night of August 22. It quickly moved northeastward, and traveled parallel to the east coast of the United States, still at Category 2 intensity, before it weakened and dissipated south of Newfoundland on the August 27.[7] Damage was extensive at several of the locations impacted by the hurricane and some fatalities occurred on St. Vincent, Jamaica and possibly Cuba. Throughout the south of St Vincent, damage was extensive with many injuries and some fatalities reported. Thousands of trees were blown down and 300 homes destroyed on the island. At Jamaica crops and plantations were destroyed and some ships wrecked in Kingston harbour. In Cuba hundreds of homes were blown down, many trees were uprooted and some areas flooded. In the Bahamas, several sailing ships were blown ashore, both at Nassau and at Andros and at the Berry Islands.[7]

Hurricane Seven

[edit]
Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationAugust 20 – August 24
Peak intensity115 mph (185 km/h) (1-min);
≤962 mbar (hPa)

The bark Argyll first detected this storm west of Bermuda on August 20,[7] with the official track beginning about 360 mi (580 km) west-southwest of the island. The cyclone moved in a semicircle around the south side of Bermuda and intensified significantly during that time, becoming a hurricane around 06:00 UTC on August 20 and then a major hurricane just 12 hours later,[8] based on the bark Edwin Reed recording a barometric pressure of 962 mbar (28.4 inHg).[7][32] That day, the storm turned northwestward and headed away from Bermuda, before turning northeastward on August 23. Striking the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland early the next day, the system transitioned into an extratropical cyclone just east of the island around 12:00 UTC. The extratropical remnants moved eastward and dissipated well north of the Azores on August 25.[8]

Hurricane Eight

[edit]
Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 16 – September 24
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);
973 mbar (hPa)

A tropical storm formed north of Puerto Rico on September 16. It traveled west, passing north of Hispaniola on September 17 and crossing Cuba in the Las Tunas region on September 18. The next day the storm passed just south of Isla de la Juventud and continued westward before curving north into the Gulf of Mexico. As the storm traveled north, parallel to the east coast of Mexico, it intensified to a 100 mph (160 km/h) Category 2 hurricane. The hurricane maintained this intensity until it made landfall just south of the Mexico–United States border early on September 23. After crossing into Texas, the system quickly weakened and dissipated the next day to the southeast of Austin.[8]

The storm dropped heavy rainfall in Tamaulipas as it moved slowly just offshore and inland, leading to flooding. In Matamoros, the hurricane destroyed approximately 300 homes and inundated about 30 streets. Floods also impacted rural areas surrounding Matamoros and left railroads inaccessible in and around Matamoros and Monterrey. Roughly 500 families were rendered homeless as a result of the storm.[34] Similar, Texas recorded heavy rainfall, including about 26 in (660 mm) at Brownsville between September 21 and September 23. Two hundred houses were blown down there.[7] Only five weeks after the devastation brought by Hurricane Five, Indianola was again flooded by rainwater and storm surge from Matagorda Bay. The remaining residents were evacuated. Following this storm the post office at Indianola was shut down, marking the official abandonment of the town.[33]

Hurricane Nine

[edit]
Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationSeptember 22 – September 30
Peak intensity100 mph (155 km/h) (1-min);
≤990 mbar (hPa)

On September 22, the bark Mary encountered this storm north of Puerto Rico.[7] Early the next day, the tropical storm intensified into a hurricane as it headed northeastward and then into a Category 2 on September 24. The system peaked with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h),[8] based on the Mary recording an atmospheric pressure of 990 mbar (29 inHg).[7][32] on September 25, the brigantine Pearl recorded sightings of ball lighting and "St. Elmo's light at the yard-arms" September 25.[7] The storm turned northwestward by September 26 and maintained this intensity until September 30, when it weakened to a Category 1 hurricane. Shortly thereafter, the system weakened to a tropical storm and was last noted about 305 mi (491 km) west of Bermuda.[8]

Hurricane Ten

[edit]
Category 3 hurricane (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 8 – October 13
Peak intensity120 mph (195 km/h) (1-min);
955 mbar (hPa)

The Texas–Louisiana Hurricane of 1886

A steamship known as Professor Morse encountered a tropical storm over the northwestern Caribbean on October 8.[7] Early the next day, the storm struck the Guanahacabibes Peninsula of Cuba, likely as a Category 1 hurricane,[8] based on the amount of damage in the area and reports from nearby ships.[32] Weakening to a tropical storm, the cyclone re-intensified into a hurricane later on October 9. Turning west-northwest on October 11 over the northern Gulf of Mexico, the storm strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h),[8] based on tide measurements along the coast of Louisiana. Late on October 12, the hurricane made landfall near Cameron with an estimated barometric pressure of 955 mbar (28.2 inHg).[32] The cyclone rapidly weakened, falling to Category 1 status early on October 13 and then a tropical storm several hours later. Around 18:00 UTC that day, the system dissipated over southern Arkansas.[8]

It caused between 126 and 150 deaths in the East Texas area.[35] due to the heavy rainfall and storm surge, with $250,000 in damage occurring. Port Eads, Louisiana, and parts of New Orleans were reported to be flooded.[7] Sabine Pass, Texas, was all but destroyed. On the afternoon of October 12 wind speeds there reached 100 mph (160 km/h) and waves from the gulf were 20 feet high. Most buildings in the town were destroyed and ten miles of railroad track damaged. Numerous vessels were washed miles inshore and wrecked. At Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, most buildings in the town were destroyed, and many residents drowned, by the impact of a seven-foot storm surge which extended twenty miles inland. At least 196 people died as a result of the storm.[36]

Tropical Storm Eleven

[edit]
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 10 – October 15
Peak intensity50 mph (85 km/h) (1-min);
999 mbar (hPa)

Father Benito Viñes reported the first indications of the existence of this storm on October 10.[7] Accordingly, the Atlantic hurricane database begins the track on that date about 340 mi (545 km) southeast of Bermuda. The storm drifted northeastward for the next few days and slowly intensified, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h),[8] based a ship observing a barometric pressure of 999 mbar (29.5 inHg).[7] Beginning an eastward turn on October 14, the storm was last noted about 1,000 mi (1,600 km) west-southwest of the Azores.[8]

Tropical Storm Twelve

[edit]
Tropical storm (SSHWS)
 
DurationOctober 21 – October 26
Peak intensity70 mph (110 km/h) (1-min);
≤992 mbar (hPa)

Several ships reported a large, but weak, tropical storm in the Caribbean Sea, south of Haiti on October 22,[7] although the official Atlantic hurricane database indicated that development occurred on the previous day. After crossing Haiti on October 22, the storm continued moving northeastward into the Atlantic.[8] Based on the steamship L. & W. Armstrong recording a barometric pressure of 992 mbar (29.3 inHg),[7][32] the cyclone nearly reached hurricane status, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). The system gradually moved more west-northwestward later in its duration and was last noted about 600 mi (965 km) east-southeast of Bermuda.[8]
