Top 10 US Landfalling Hurricanes...

Of course this is just my personal opinion but I'm gong to rank the top 10 hurricanes in recorded US history... I'm ranking this based on the worst conditions possible seen by one person... So size, speed, duration are not really the important factors to me... I'm going by which hurricane produced the worst possible hurricane conditions in one specific area... If you would like to give your opinions please feel free to comment....

1) 1935 Labor Day Hurricane

2) Hurricane Camille 1969

3a) Hurricane Andrew 1992

3b) Hurricane Katrina 2005

5) 1900 Galveston Hurricane

6) 1886 Indianola Hurricane

7) 1928 Lake Okeechobee Hurricane

8) Hurricane Carla 1961

9) Hurricane Hugo 1989

10) 1926 Great Miami Hurricane

Honorable mention: 1893 Sea Island Georgia Hurricane, 1919 Florida Keys/Texas, 1915 New Orleans, 1915 Galveston, 1938 Long Island Express, Hurricane Hazel 1954, Hurricane Donna 1960, Hurricane Beulah 1967, Hurricane Charley 2004, Hurricane Rita 2005

Also it's SO tough with Andrew and Katrina... Of course Andrew had the Category 5 winds, but Katrina had a 30 foot storm surge... Could go either way, but I say it's a tie...

One last thing... You really could interchange a lot of the honorable mention hurricanes with ranks 5 through 10... It really is just a personal opinion/guess... You could argue many hurricanes ahead of even 1900 Galveston... I would say 1-4 is pretty good though!!! :-)
