Within the North Atlantic Ocean, a Category 2 hurricane is a tropical cyclone, that has 1-minute sustained wind speeds of between 83–95 knots (96–109 mph; 154–176 km/h; 43–49 m/s).[1] Since records began in 1851, a total of 246 tropical cyclones have peaked at this intensity.[2]
Since HURDAT began in 1851, Atlantic hurricanes have been tracked. In 1971, the Saffir–Simpson scale was devised by two meteorologists. Category 2 was designed as the fourth-highest category on the scale.[2]
The 1842 Spain hurricane on October 26, reached a possible, but HURDAT-unverified, Category 2 intensity.[317]
In May 1863, Hurricane "Amanda" wreaked havoc in the Southeast United States. Its intensity was equivalent to Category 2.[318]
A climate researcher: Michael Chenoweth has suggested that the following systems were Category 2 hurricanes on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale:
