  Hurricane Ione - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hurricane Ione was the third in a series of hurricanes to strike North Carolina during the 1955 Atlantic hurricane season.
Ione remained weak for the next 3 days, but it steadily strengthened as it moved north of the Lesser Antilles, reaching hurricane strength on the 15th.
Dry and cooler air was gradually entrained in Ione's circulation, and the hurricane weakened to a minimal hurricane at the time of its Wilmington, North Carolina landfall on the 19th, the third hurricane to hit the state in 6 weeks, and fourth in 11 months.

 1955 Atlantic hurricane season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The second Hurricane Alice of 1954 was originally believed to have developed in early January of 1955 and thus have been the first storm of the 1955 season; however, it was later discovered to have developed in late December of 1954 and was reclassified as a storm of the 1954 season.

Ione was the least damaging of the three, as it only affected North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, whereas Connie and Diane caused damage throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
