List of Florida hurricanes (1900–49)

Tracks of hurricanes over Florida from 1900 to 1949

The list of Florida hurricanes from 1900 to 1949 encompasses 108 Atlantic tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida. Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in about $4 billion (2008 USD) in damage. Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for about 3,550 fatalities during the time period, most of which from the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane. The 1947 season was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state, with a total of 6 systems. The 1905, 1908, 1913, 1927, 1931, 1942, and 1943 seasons were the only years during the time period in which a storm did not affect the Floridian coasts.

The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, which also bears the distinction of being the strongest recorded hurricane to strike the United States.[1] Several other major hurricanes struck the state during the time period, including the 1926 Miami Hurricane, the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, and a cyclone each in 1945 and 1949. All of these storms made landfall as Category 4 hurricanes.
