The second storm formed on August 5 in the Gulf of Mexico and drifted northward. After reaching a peak of 60 mph winds it hit southern Alabama on the 8th. It turned to the west-northwest, and dissipated on the 9th, bringing very heavy rainfall and tornadoes.

Hurricane Three

A tropical storm developed on August 30 and lasted until September 9. It formed between Africa and South America, east of the Lesser Antilles. It stayed out at sea and did not hit any land. It dissipated in the North Atlantic. Its maximum sustained winds were at 115 mph.

Hurricane Four

On September 18 a tropical storm was first observed and lasted until September 30. It formed to the east-southeast of the Lesser Antilles. It hit the Lesser Antilles and then the Greater Antilles, and turned north and hit Florida with 120 mph (193 km/h) winds. It then went back out to sea and hit South Carolina, tracked through North Carolina, and then made its way out to sea, where it eventually dissipated. Its maximum sustained winds were at 120 mph (193 km/h). This storm was responsible for an estimated 200 deaths.

Hurricane Five

The fifth storm formed on October 1 and lasted until October 12. It formed to the northwest of the Panama Canal. It tracked northwest and went by Cuba. It slammed into the Florida Panhandle with 105 mph (169 km/h) winds. It tracked through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and up through Canada. Its maximum sustained winds were at 120 mph (193 km/h). The hurricane caused about a million dollars in damage.

Hurricane Six

A tropical storm formed on October 11 southeast of the Lesser Antilles as a tropical storm. It traveled north through the Lesser Antilles as a Category 2 hurricane, and peaked out as a Category 4 with 135 mph winds and an estimated 27.50 inches (931 mbar) pressure over the open Atlantic waters several hundred miles north of Puerto Rico. Continuing to head out to sea, the hurricane weakened, and was last seen on October 20 as a weakening minimal hurricane estimated at Category 1 intensity.
