1937 atlantic hurricane season

The 1937 Atlantic hurricane season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially began on June 1, 1937 and ended on November 30, 1937. The 1937 season was not a very active one, with only three hurricanes and no major hurricanes forming during the season and those stayed out to sea. Most of the activity during the 37 season consisted of tropical storms. Ironically, Nova Scotia saw more tropical cyclone activity than the entire US east and gulf coasts. A tropical storm hit Tampa, Florida and then grazed Nova Scotia. Tropical storms also hit Daytona Beach, Louisiana, southern Nova Scotia, and rural northwest Florida. The most notable storm of the season actually wasnt tropical, at the time it made itself notable at least. An extratropical hurricane struck just north of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The storm was moving swiftly, so most of the damage was strictly wind related.
