The most notable storm of the season, was the Tampa Bay Hurricane of 1921. It developed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on October 20. It tracked north-northwestward, steadily strengthening into a hurricane on the 22nd. The storm turned more north-northeastward, and upon reaching the Gulf of Mexico on the 24th it rapidly intensified to a 140 mph Category 4. It weakened as it continued to the northeast, making landfall north of Clearwater on the 25th as a Category 3 hurricane. It crossed Florida, turned eastward across the Atlantic, and became extratropical on the 28th southwest of Bermuda. Its small and quick nature, as well as well-executed warnings, only caused $3 million in damage (1921 USD), with 6 casualties.
