Old hurricane moving back and forth across the Gulf of Mexico
Hello, Quick question: Can anyone here tell me which hurricane this was and what year? I swear I remember seeing a satellite loop of it on TV some years ago. At first it looked like it would hit LA, then it moved towards FL, then it reversed course and went back to LA! I looked at all the paths available at wunderground.com from 1960 forward but could not find it. Thanks. |
