Hurricane History
On this date in 1965, Hurricane Betsy made landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 storm, causing significant damage and flooding in the Miami metro area and the Bahamas. The storm’s unpredictable path and intensity made forecasting a challenge, with Hurricane Watches issued for North Carolina before the storm ultimately turned north.
