Every Atlantic hurricane since 1975, drawn from NOAA's official best-track archive. Scrub through the seasons or press play, and tap any track for the storm behind it.
Pick a season, then tap a track.
Data: NOAA National Hurricane Center HURDAT2 Atlantic best-track archive (February 2026 revision), storms reaching hurricane strength from 1975 through the 2025 season, positions thinned to roughly 12-hour intervals. Coastline: Natural Earth, public domain. Category is each storm's peak on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Story lines on the strongest storms were drafted by Claude from this same track data during the build, then checked against the public record by hand: the AI-augmented workflow this site talks about, applied to itself.
