 » Hurricane Wiki Hall of Fame

Below is the list of inductees into Hurricane Wiki's Forum:Hurricane Hall of Fame. The years do not represent the year the hurricanes existed but rather the "class" they belonged to during induction. Hurricane Wiki has been running an annual Hurricane Hall of Fame, where the community votes on storms to be inducted into the hall of fame.

 * (Note: There was no election in 2009. Gustav and Ike both qualified for automatic induction and therefore did not have to be voted in.)

Notes: Before 2007, the Hall of Fame was much less organized. The number of storms elected each year varied. When I compiled the Excel file, I broke it into ten storms elected per year for 2004-2006. I actually started the five storm per year format in 2006, but retroactively pushed it to ten to deal with overflow from the first two years. I also added the Historical Electorate in 2007. The only pre-1875 storm elected before 2007 was the Last Island Hurricane (1856). The automatic inductions were in no particular order and inducted as I found them. The last pre-2004 automatics were inducted in 2008. Note that before 2007, the Two Seasons Rule was not in effect; the required gap was instead just one season. However, Hurricane Isabel was the only storm to be elected after just one season. In 2010, the cost criteria for automatic induction was raised from $5 billion to $10 billion. This has no effect on the storms already in but rather was intended to make it more difficult for contemporary storms to gain induction automatically. Hurricane Gustav was the last storm to gain automatic induction with less than $10 billion worth of damage ($6.6 billion). 2010-2012= You can vote for this year's inductees here.   » East Pacific List  2007= 2008=
 * San Diego Hurricane - October, 1858
 * Encinitas Tropical Storm - September, 1939
 * 1959 Mexico Hurricane - October, 1959
 * Hurricane Tara - November, 1961
 * Hurricane Liza - October, 1976
 * Hurricane Paul - September, 1982
 * Hurricane Iniki - September, 1992
 * Hurricane Ismael - September, 1995
 * Hurricane Linda - September, 1997
 * Hurricane Pauline - October, 1997
 * 1943 Mazatlan Hurricane - October, 1943
 * Hurricane Kathleen - September, 1976
 * Hurricane Iwa - November, 1982
 * Hurricane Tico - October, 1983
 * Hurricane Kenna - October, 2002

Note: The criteria for automatic induction in the East Pacific are 1,000 deaths and/or $2 billion in damage (pre-2004 storms adjusted to 2004 inflation). According to my HOF records, Pauline was inducted automatically, however does not appear to meet the criteria. The reason for this is unclear. It is possibly the result of an erroneous damage figure.
