Alex is the first June hurricane since
Hurricane Allison of 1995. Allison briefly became a minimal 75 mph hurricane
before weakening and hitting the Florida Panhandle as a tropical storm. Alex is
the strongest June hurricane since
Hurricane Bonnie of 1986, which had 85 mph winds. Bonnie was the first
hurricane I flew into as a member of the Hurricane Hunters. Bonnie made landfall
along the upper Texas coast, and caused less than $20 million in damage. If Alex
strengthens to 90 mph winds, it will be the strongest June hurricane since
Hurricane Alma of 1966, which had 125 mph winds as it skirted the Florida
Keys. There have been only ten hurricanes in May or June since 1945; only four
of these were
major Category 3 or higher storms.
