Hurricane Donna in the 1960 Atlantic hurricane season was a Cape
Verde-type hurricane which moved across the Leeward Islands, Puerto
Rico, Hispanola, Cuba, The Bahamas, and every state on the East
Coast of the United States. Hurricane Donna holds the record for
retaining major hurricane status (Category 3 or greater on the
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale) in the Atlantic Basin for the
longest period of time. For nine days, September 2 to September
11, Donna consistently had maximum sustained winds of at least
115 mph (185 km/h).
From
the time it became a tropical depression to when it dissipated
after becoming an extratropical storm, Donna roamed the Atlantic
from August 29 to September 14, a total of 17 days. While crossing
the Atlantic, Donna briefly achieved Category 5 strength.
Florida
had an increase of storm activity in the 2009 Hurricane Season.
Still the question concerning Tropical Storms and Hurricanes is
not if, but when? As we cross our fingers for 2010
