Hurricane Betsy crossed the coast near Grand Isle, LA as a category 4 hurricane, 115 kt (130 mph), central pressure 946 mb. It killed 81 people in all. Hurricane Betsy was an intense, deadly and destructive tropical cyclone that brought widespread damage to areas of Florida, the Bahamas, and the central United States Gulf Coast in September 1965. The storm's erratic nature, coupled with its intensity and minimal preparation time contributed to making Betsy the first tropical cyclone in the Atlantic basin to accrue at least $1 billion in damage.

An unnamed storm crossed the coast near Key West, FL as a category 4 hurricane, 130 kt (150 mph), central pressure 927 mb. The 1919 Florida Keys hurricane was a massive and damaging tropical cyclone that swept across areas of the northern Caribbean Sea and the United States Gulf Coast in September 1919. Remaining an intense Atlantic hurricane throughout much of its existence, the storm's slow movement and sheer size prolonged and enlarged the scope of the hurricane's effects, making it one of the deadliest hurricanes in United States history.
