 | | But, no matter how much we focus on the seacoasts when it comes to tracking named storms, it's important to keep in mind that though they instantly begin to dissipate once over land, they don't dry up immediately, and can profoundly affect the weather far from any seacoast. |
 | | A good example is the No Name Hurricane of July 1896, which flared up in the Gulf of Mexico, and then moved north through the continental United States (as a tropical depression) -- crossing Ohio and Michigan, entering Canada, crossing Quebec, and finally reaching the Arctic Circle before dying out! |
 | | There's a nifty Web page where you can enter search criteria (such as place name, zip code, etc.) and get a printout of a map showing the tracks of all hurricanes. |
