Most Intense Hurricane Landfalls in the United States

This is a list of all intense U.S. landfalling hurricanes from 1900 onward, ranked by minimum central pressure at time of landfall. This information comes from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) 'best track' files and the hurricane database (HURDAT). In compiling this list, I started with the official NHC list of intense U.S. landfalling hurricanes, and have used the HURDAT database and other information sources (preliminary storm reports, etc.) to add information about the maximum sustained winds at time of landfall, highest reported winds, highest reported storm surge, etc. This project is in its infancy, so all information is subject to change and I make no guarantee as to its accuracy.
