CLASSIC ATLANTIC HURRICANES

I have spent alot of time researching the hurricanes featured in this section. I found my data in the 1989 Almanac & Hurricane History of the "Big Ones" and the tracking charts I copied from Purdue's Weather Processor-Hurricane Page. Here is the info on the hurricane tracking charts:

TYPE	CATEGORY	PRESSURE	WINDS	SURGE	LINE COLOR

Depression	TD	-----	<34       <39	-----	Green
Tropical Storm	TS	-----	34-63   39- 73	-----	Yellow
