Show Notes
Late on October 2, a hurricane formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Holding its intensity, the storm system paralleled the Texas coastline, causing "many" deaths. A storm tide value of 7 feet was reported in Ludlum, and it is possible that Brownsville, Texas, was in the western eyewall of the hurricane at the storms closest approach. Turning toward Louisianan, the storm made landfall on the state with winds of 100 mph, a Category 2 storm. Moving to the east and weakening, the storm made landfall on the state of Florida during the day on October 6.
