Hi TG,

Here are some additional names for your lists, namely the Atlantic. I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but the server prevented me from doing so:

Edith (1971) - Destroyed hundreds of homes in Central America and made landfall in Nicaragua as a Category 5. Caused 37 fatalities and $25.4 million (1971 USD) in losses.

Amelia (1978) - Wettest Texan TC, contributed to a major flooding disaster in the state. 33 fatalities and $110 million (1978 USD) in losses were reported.

Claudette (1979) - Caused widespread agricultural damage in Puerto Rico before producing the highest 24-hour rainfall total in U.S. history in Alvin, Texas (42 inches), not to mention the torrential rainfall caused elsewhere in the state. Also resulted in two fatalities and $400 million (1979 USD) in damage.

Fran* (1984) - One of the deadliest Cape Verde TC's (29-32 fatalities), prompted international assistance in recovery efforts. Also left behind damages of $2.8 million (1984 USD).

Isabel* (1985) - Produced heavy flooding in Puerto Rico that killed 180, 130 alone from the deadliest landslide in North American history. Also caused $125 million (1985 USD) in losses.

Kate (1985) - Latest Atlantic major hurricane and U.S.-landfalling hurricane on record, costliest Cuban hurricane in decades, and effectively destroyed the Florida Panhandle's oyster industry. Also caused 15 fatalities and $700 million (1985 USD) in losses.

Andrew* (1986) - Not particularly eventful while tropical, but its precursor brought severe rainfall to Jamaica and produced the worst floods seen in decades in nearby Haiti. $25 million (1986 USD) in losses and 94 fatalities were reported.

Alberto (1994) - Costliest Georgian TC and produced worst flooding in the state's history, in addition to 100-year floods in Florida. Losses reached $1 billion (1994 USD), with 32 fatalities.

Danny (1997) - Although not incredibly damaging, it became the wettest TC in Alabama's history. Damages of $100 million (1997 USD, $146 million 2016 USD) and nine total fatalities were reported.

Bonnie (1998) - Despite being more tame than originally feared, it still caused extensive crop damage in North Carolina with total losses of around $1 billion (1998 USD). Also caused five fatalities.

Emily (2005) - Strongest Pre-August TC, landfall in the Yucatán Peninsula as a Category 4, caused ~$1 billion (2005 USD) in losses. Also resulted in 17 fatalities.

Nicole (2010) - Devastated Jamaica's infrastructure and went on to leave behind copious precipitation in Cuba and across the U.S. East Coast. Also caused 16 fatalities and $240 million (2010 USD) in losses.

Lee (2011) - Produced historical flooding in the Northeastern U.S., especially PA and NY. Losses reached $1.6 billion (2011 USD), with 18 fatalities.

Also, for your Pacific list, don't forget about Tara in 1961, which caused 436 fatalities in Mexico.

There are probably more snubs out there. But I hope this list gets you started.
