List of storms

Pre-Columbian hurricanes

1500s

• August 12–14, 1508 – An unnamed tropical cyclone affected southern Hispaniola and may have affected southern Puerto Rico.^[1]
• August 16, 1508 – Hurricane San Roque is considered to be the first recorded hurricane to affect Puerto Rico. Reported by Juan Ponce de León, his caravel left Santo Domingo, but another storm after the preceding storm beached it on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico at Guayanilla.^[2] It mainly affected the southwest coast of the island.^[3][4][5]
• July 1514 – An unknown tropical cyclone affected Puerto Rico and was reported months afterwards.^[6][7]

The storm started at night, lasted 24 hours, and ruined the major part of the City of San Juan, Puerto Rico, including the church, and caused much damage to haciendas, agriculture, and wide spread flooding. One source describes the storm in both 1526 and 1527.^[9]

Hurricane-force winds drove this 10-foot (3 m) piece of 2x4 lumber through a palm tree in Puerto Rico during the 1928 Okerchobee hurricane, known in Puerto Rico as the San Felipe II hurricane

• September 13, 1928 – Okeechobee hurricane, also known as the San Felipe II hurricane, was a major hurricane that made landfall near Guayama as a Category 5 hurricane, the strongest on record to strike the island. On September 13, the 15 mi (24 km) eye crossed Puerto Rico in eight hours from the southeast to the northwest, moving ashore near Guayama and exiting between Aguadilla and Isabela.^[78] A ship near the southern coast reported a pressure of 931 mbar (27.5 inHg), and the cup anemometer at San Juan reported sustained winds of 160 mph (257 km/h) before failing.^[79] As the wind station was 30 mi (48 km) north of the storm's center, winds near the landfall point were unofficially estimated as high as 200 mph (320 km/h).^[80] On this basis, the hurricane is believed to have made landfall in Puerto Rico as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale, although there was uncertainty in the peak intensity, due to the large size and slow movement of the storm.^[79] After emerging from Puerto Rico, the hurricane had weakened to winds of about 140 mph (230 km/h), based on a pressure reading of 941 mbar (27.8 inHg) at Isabela.

Poage, the chair of the House Agricultural Committee.^[91] Throughout Puerto Rico, the depression caused damage estimated at $65 million (1970 USD$, 489 million 2024 USD),^[96] as well as at least 18 confirmed fatalities.
