Hurricane Dennis Dennis formed in the Caribbean, made a couple of landfalls (Cat. 4) in southeast Cuba, then hit just east of Pensacola, FL (Cat. 3)
Hurricane Emily Emily formed in the central Atlantic, hit Grenada (Cat. 1), hit the Yucatan south of Cozumel, MX (Cat. 4), then hit Mexico again (Cat. 3)
Hurricane Katrina Katrina formed over the Bahamas, hit South Florida (Cat. 1), reached Cat. 5 status over the Gulf of Mexico (at the time, the fourth strongest hurricane on record in the Atlantic, 902 mb), then slammed Louisiana (Cat. 4) and the Mississippi coast (Cat. 3) with a record storm surge (possibly up to 35 feet!), causing untold devastation and over 1000 deaths, mostly in New Orleans which flooded due to levee breaches after the storm.
Hurricane Rita Just three weeks after Katrina, Rita formed and took a very similar path near Florida and through the Gulf of Mexico. Rita became the third most intense Atlantic hurricane on record (897 mb), but weakened before hitting near the TX/LA border (Cat. 3).
Hurricane Stan
Hurricane Wilma Hurricane Wilma became the most intense Atlantic storm ever recorded, with a minimum central pressure of 882 mb (or possibly lower) and sustained winds of 185 mph! The storm slammed the Yucatan Peninsula (Cat. 4) then walloped South Florida (Cat. 3), becoming one of the most damaging hurricanes on record.
