Hurricane One

Hurricane One 3
Duration	August 18—August 26
Intensity	120 mph (195 km/h), Pressure unknown

A hurricane was detected near the Leeward Islands on August 18. Moving west-northwest, the storm gradually intensified into a Category 2 hurricane the following day. On August 20, the system began to curve northward and later north-northeast, and the hurricane reached its peak of 120 mph (195 km/h) on August 22. The hurricane later passed just west of Bermuda late on August 22 as a slightly weaker 115 mph (185 km/h) hurricane. On August 24, the hurricane weakened to a Category 2 hurricane and began to turn more to the north. Continuing to curve northwestward on August 25, the hurricane continued to weaken to a Category 1 hurricane, later striking Newfoundland as an extratropical storm on August 26. The storm later dissipated on the same day.

Duration	August 29—September 10

Main article: Labor Day Hurricane of 1935

By far the most notable storm of the season was the Labor Day Hurricane that made landfall in the Florida Keys on September 2. The storm was first detected as a disturbance east of the Bahamas. It strengthened very rapidly as it moved across the Straits of Florida. It made landfall on Long Key in the Upper Keys as a small but intense Category 5 major hurricane. A pressure reading of 892 millibars was recorded near where the center crossed the islands. The pressure reading makes the Labor Day Hurricane the most intense to ever strike the U.S. It ranks third on the list of the most intense Atlantic hurricanes based on lowest pressure, behind only Hurricane Gilbert of 1988, which did not strike the U.S., and Wilma of 2005.

After crossing the Keys, the storm proceeded up the Florida west coast, bringing flooding rains all along the way. The storm made its final landfall on the sparsely-populated Apalachee coast near Cedar Key on September 5. It moved inland and then curved back out to sea and later dissipated in the North Atlantic on September 10. More than 400 people were killed in the Keys and the damage in the area of landfall was catastrophic. Portions of the Florida East Coast Railway in the Upper Keys were severely damaged or destroyed. The hurricane also washed an evacuation train off the tracks and many who were awaiting rescue, including World War I veterans who were living and working in the Keys as part of a government relief project, were killed.

Hurricane Four 3
Duration	September 23—October 2
Intensity	120 mph (195 km/h), Pressure unknown

A tropical storm formed in the western Caribbean Sea south-southeast of Jamaica on September 23. Moving westward, the system strengthened into a hurricane on September 24 and later a Category 2 hurricane on September 26 while beginning to curve northward. The hurricane continued to strengthen while slowly moving northward, strengthening into its peak of 120 mph (195 km/h) as a major hurricane on September 28. The hurricane struck Cuba at its peak intensity shortly thereafter, and it maintained intensity while entering the Straits of Florida on September 29. While beginning to turn northeast, the hurricane passed over the Bahamas shortly thereafter as a 115 mph (185 km/h) Category 3 hurricane, eventually weakening to a Category 2 hurricane on September 30 while accelerating away from the United States mainland. The hurricane passed near Bermuda on October 1, later weakening to a Category 1 hurricane and becoming extratropical the following day.

Hurricane Five

Hurricane Five 1
Duration	October 19—October 27
Intensity	85 mph (135 km/h), 988 mbar

A tropical storm formed late in the season on October 19 in the south-central Caribbean Sea with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h). Moving slowly north-northeast, the system strengthened quickly into a hurricane on October 20, and it attained its first peak intensity of 85 mph (135 km/h) on October 21 just south-southeast of Kingston. The hurricane slowed on October 22 while just east of Jamaica and weakened slightly while beginning to turn more to the northwest, eventually weakening further to a strong tropical storm while brushing the coast of Cuba later on October 22 with winds of 70 mph (115 km/h). Continuing to turn southwest on October 23, the system continued to weaken to a minimal 50 mph (80 km/h) tropical storm in the western Caribbean Sea on October 24. The system began to reintensify shortly thereafter, regaining hurricane status late on October 24 and regaining a second peak intensity of 85 mph (135 km/h) on October 25 shortly before making landfall in Nicaragua at its second peak intensity. The hurricane maintained intensity after moving inland before weakening to a tropical storm on October 26, eventually weakening to a tropical depression on October 27 over interior Central America. The system dissipated shortly thereafter.

Hurricane Six

Hurricane Six 1
Duration	October 30—November 8
Intensity	80 mph (120 km/h), 973 mbar

A rare early November hurricane strike in the Miami area, this storm began as a tropical storm near Bermuda on October 30. Moving westward, the storm strengthened into a 75 mph (120 km/h) Category 1 hurricane on November 1 while initially threatening the North Carolina coastline. The system began to turn southwest on November 2, however, while continuing to strengthen to its peak of 80 mph (120 km/h), while a ship recorded a minimal pressure of 980 mbar. The hurricane continued moving slowly south-southwest while weakening slightly, eventually making landfall near Miami Beach, Florida, as a 75 mph (120 km/h) minimal hurricane on November 4 with a measured pressure of 973 mbar at landfall. The system crossed the southern end of the Florida peninsula shortly thereafter, eventually entering the southeast Gulf of Mexico as a minimal hurricane near the Dry Tortugas on November 5. The hurricane then weakened into a tropical storm while beginning a slow clockwise loop in the eastern Gulf, eventually curving back east while weakening to a depression just west of St. Petersburg late on November 7. The system dissipated just offshore on November 8. The hurricane's unusual approach toward Florida and late arrival earned it the nickname of the Yankee Hurricane.
