On today's date: a hurricane in March. Really.

M Arch is long before the Atlantic Hurricane season, but there was once a storm that not only formed, but also hammered parts of the Caribbean.

On March 6, 1908, 117 years ago, a tropical storm formed a little more than 500 miles northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

For decades in front of satellites, the ship reports or land areas that have already been affected were composed. So the best these records, this tropical storm later became a hurricane in the evening.

This March, Oddball then pursued South-Southwest and strengthened into the strength of Category 2 when he chased Saint Kitts and Nevis over the northern Leeward Islands.

A sailboat broke out in front of his anchor in St. Eustatius and, according to Quin's report, was found in front of the southeast coast of Puerto Rico “and found by mast and sail” in front of the southeast coast of Puerto Rico.

Buildings were damaged in Saint Barthélemy, including a church. Tents that were located in the farmers were damaged in Saint Martin/Sint Maarten and serious damage to the local cotton harvest. Up to 8 inches of rain were reported in St. Kitts.

T his remains the only March tropical storm or hurricane of the record in the Atlantic pool.
