Is the October hurricane in the Western Gulf a duplicate of the major hurricane of early September? The description is vague and the listed source is a paper on Florida hurricanes. AusJeb ( talk) 13:44, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
From the Annual Register for 1786:
I suspect from context these are contemporary reports of the storms being reported three months late, rather than aftereffects being back-dated by the Register's editors. The detail may be of some interest; £30,000 is about $140,000 in contemporary currency, and in real terms perhaps something like fifty to a hundred million current dollars.

My geography may be off, but it seems this storm is moving westward rather than eastward. I know that wind is described by the direction it comes from, but I know of no such convention for hurricanes. Danthemankhan 15:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
This article says FOUR, but the link that it points to and elsewhere in Wikipedia say ELEVEN. 124.183.121.33 ( talk) 07:33, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
I think the Great Storm of 1703 that affected Great Britain should be removed from the list. While it cannot be outruled entirely it's very unlikely that it was the remnant of a hurricane. Hurricanes in December are very rare. And then this was during the little ice age when everything was a bit colder which makes it even more unlikely. It's much more likely, actually, it's almost the only possibility that this storm was one of the powerful winter storms which still happen every now and then. -- Maxl ( talk) 19:22, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

I took a special interest in this, since two ancestors of mine were on this ship. In addition to "History of Darien" by Borland, available online but nearly unreadable, there is a newer book. "Mornings on Horseback" by McCullough, a biography of Teddy Roosevelt, which covers this event, if also briefly. I edited the entry here to improve its accuracy.

If this is a list of 18th-century hurricanes, it should cover the years 1701-1800, not 1700-1799.
