How many times have we had 2 hit LI in one season?
1934 - thats the only year I can find. Two tropical storms had the center pass over the island.
There have been a few years where 2 impacted the island...
2 tropical storms (one made landfall, the other went just west up the Hudson Valley) in 1894.
1944 - The Great Atlantic Hurricane (which by the way was technically not a hurricane when it got here). Another hurricane passed about 50 miles south of Montauk.
1954 - Carol hit in August. Edna just missed in Sept.
1961 - Alma and Ester both passed just south and east of the island.
1991 - this one gets the big asterisks. Bob hit in August. Then the "Perfect Storm" in late Oct...which by definition became a hurricane (although the NHC never named it). So do what you want with that one.
1996 - Bertha technically passed over Queens and Nassau in July...then Josephine passed just east in October.
I don't see any years where 3 impacted the island. Wouldn't THAT be fun!
Yes that and the damage in $$$ from the upstate devastation will be close to 10 Billions at least. Agree with you, they should.
