Today's Weather History

The H.M.S. Racer came across a hurricane in the Caribbean Sea on this date in 1837. The Racer ran with the storm for four days as it approached the Yucatan Peninsula. The "Racer's Hurricane of 1837" then crossed the Yucatan Peninsula and stalled off the Mexican coast before gradually curving along the entire Gulf Coast.
