Top 10 Strangest Hurricanes of All Time

Over 80 hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones form in an average year, with over 14,000 storms documented in recorded history. Some of these tropical cyclones have had exceptionally unique paths, which we will cover in the Top 10 Strangest Hurricanes of All Time, with a focus on their incredibly strange and unique tracks.

@SPCNorthTexas2017 Sandy was a hurricane right before it made landfall and transitioned from tropical to extra tropical cyclone as it made landfall with 80 mph winds (equal to Cat 1 hurricane) but I guess you could argue it had the characteristics of a Nor’easter. Sandy was a complicated and weird storm. And unfortunately one of the worse hurricanes to ever slam the United States. And it will only get worse in the future.

[@homerthompson416]

Harvey's track was so shocking. I live on the NE side of San Antonio, Texas and it was headed right for us. I remember seeing an ugly line of squalls with 60 mph winds come through, and then everything stopped and I wondered WTF? Harvey turned right back around and went into the gulf and then started creeping along the coast to Houston. I was expecting pretty nasty flooding when we were told to be ready for up to 20 inches or so if I remember right, but that one squall only lasted about 30 minutes and that was it. NW side of San Antonio didn't even get any rain. Twenty miles east of me though in Seguin they got a foot of rain from Harvey. I think we only ended up with 4 or 5 inches of rain in that one squall line in my area.

Hurricane Elena 1985 worth an honerable mention. Formed as a tropical cyclone over land (Cuba), curved north into the Gulf, headed for NE Florida before stalling just offshore, did a small loop then headed WNW into the Golf coast near Biloxi. Must have been a forecasters nightmare at the time.

[@tornadotrick7991]

Arlene 2023 would belong here: MOVING SOUTH

[@ryanfinch9281]

I'd like to give a shout out to Hurricane Faith (1966): the most northward travelling hurricane. The NOAA archives supposedly have it maintaining Cat 2 status before hitting the Faroe Islands as a Cat 1 and only then becoming extratropical. I dispute this, however, given that remote sensing was in its infancy, and strong suspect it became extratropical much sooner. The extratropical remnants were tracked over Russia until they dissipated near the Arctic. An incredible storm!

[@ryanfinch9281]

Just found reanalysis data that suggests Faith was extratropical at 45 degrees North, which makes a lot more sense. But still this was a powerful.ex hurricane which had a tremendously long track!

[@mastick5106]

I can't claim surprise that it's not on here, but Hurricane Agnes in 1972 was definitely strange. First, it formed OVER LAND, forming as a tropical depression over the Yucatan Peninsula when two weather systems interacted there. After moving into the Caribbean it was unremarkable for a while, barely reaching hurricane strength, making landfall in the Florida panhandle, and quickly weakening into a tropical depression over Georgia. But it stopped weakening, stayed tropical as it crossed Georgia and South Carolina, and then _restrengthened over land_ in North Carolina, becoming a tropical storm again _before_ moving back over water in the Atlantic. Even after becoming extratropical soon after landfall near NYC, it wouldn't go away, looping around the eastern seaboard for almost three days and dumping ridiculous amounts of rain, especially in central and western PA (some areas saw total rainfall of 19 inches and floods exceeding 30 feet).

[@2003LN6]

So many suggestions here in the comments, I would like to add some. 1. Typhoon Hester (1952): the track was not particularly interesting, but it was a formidable Category 5 (185mph 950mb) in the Western Pacific on January 1. Probably the only northern hemisphere storm to cross the year as a Category 5. 2. Typhoon Alma (1946): again, not a particularly interesting track. However, its Wikipedia track suggests that it was tropical up to 52 degrees north near the Kamchatka Peninsula, and somehow even intensified into a Category 1 from a tropical storm. This is unseen anywhere else and possibly the farthest-north tropical cyclone in recorded history, as Faith (1966) was downgraded in reanalysis to an extratropical storm near the U.K.
