Tropical Depression Two formed about 250 miles (405 km) south of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde Cape Verde]. The system quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Bertha on July 3. Bertha moved westward over the next few days as a weak tropical storm. Late on July 6, Bertha began to strengthen well to the east of the Northern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeward_Islands Leeward Islands]. Bertha continued to strengthen and became the first hurricane of the season on July 7, as well as the first major hurricane, later that day. The hurricane weakened during the day on July 8, due to a nearby upper level low to its northeast. Thereafter, it drifted north-northwest towards [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bermuda Bermuda] before slowly looping to its southeast on July 12 and July 13. The system moved within 40 miles (64 km) of Bermuda on July 14 before moving northeast away from the island. On July 16, Bertha curved back to the southeast due to the influence of a deep [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone cyclone] to its east, and then turned northeast, reaching hurricane strength before becoming extratropical on July 20.</p>

*(Note: There was no election in 2009. Gustav and Ike both qualified for automatic induction and therefore did not have to be voted in.)
   
  +
Notes: Before 2007, the Hall of Fame was much less organized. The number of storms elected each year varied. When I compiled the Excel file, I broke it into ten storms elected per year for 2004-2006. I actually started the five storm per year format in 2006, but retroactively pushed it to ten to deal with overflow from the first two years. I also added the Historical Electorate in 2007. The only pre-1875 storm elected before 2007 was the Last Island Hurricane (1856). The automatic inductions were in no particular order and inducted as I found them. The last pre-2004 automatics were inducted in 2008. Note that before 2007, the Two Seasons Rule was not in effect; the required gap was instead just one season. However, Hurricane Isabel was the only storm to be elected after just one season. In 2010, the cost criteria for automatic induction was raised from $5 billion to $10 billion. This has no effect on the storms already in but rather was intended to make it more difficult for contemporary storms to gain induction automatically. Hurricane Gustav was the last storm to gain automatic induction with less than $10 billion worth of damage ($6.6 billion).

According to my HOF records, Pauline was inducted automatically, however does not appear to meet the criteria. The reason for this is unclear. It is possibly the result of an erroneous damage figure.

Hurricanes Wiki
A comprehensive guide to understanding one of nature's most awesome forces: tropical cyclones

Welcome to the Hurricanes Wiki, a guide to tropical systems, the agencies that track them, and various how-to's and preparation strategies to help you prepare for the next big storm. The wiki was founded in May 2006 and relaunched in April 2007 after closing out for a while. Below are some useful links for learning the grounds of the Hurricane Wikia.

    Hurricane Bertha (2008)

    Hurricane Bertha was a rare early season Cape Verde-type hurricane. It is both the longest-lived July Atlantic tropical cyclone on record,[1]and the easternmost forming July tropical storm on record.[2] The second named storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season, Bertha developed from a tropical wave that emerged off the coast of Africa on July 1. Tropical Depression Two formed about 250 miles (405 km) south of Cape Verde. The system quickly strengthened into Tropical Storm Bertha on July 3. Bertha moved westward over the next few days as a weak tropical storm. Late on July 6, Bertha began to strengthen well to the east of the Northern Leeward Islands. Bertha continued to strengthen and became the first hurricane of the season on July 7, as well as the first major hurricane, later that day. The hurricane weakened during the day on July 8, due to a nearby upper level low to its northeast. Thereafter, it drifted north-northwest towards Bermuda before slowly looping to its southeast on July 12 and July 13. The system moved within 40 miles (64 km) of Bermuda on July 14 before moving northeast away from the island. On July 16, Bertha curved back to the southeast due to the influence of a deep cyclone to its east, and then turned northeast, reaching hurricane strength before becoming extratropical on July 20.

    Hurricane Hall of Fame

    Below is the list of inductees into Hurricane Wiki's Forum:Hurricane Hall of Fame. The years do not represent the year the hurricanes existed but rather the "class" they belonged to during induction. Hurricane Wiki has been running an annual Hurricane Hall of Fame, where the community votes on storms to be inducted into the hall of fame.

    Atlantic List:[]

  • Hurricane Gustav - Aug/Sep, 2008
  • Hurricane Ike - September, 2008
  • (Note: There was no election in 2009. Gustav and Ike both qualified for automatic induction and therefore did not have to be voted in.)
  • Notes: Before 2007, the Hall of Fame was much less organized. The number of storms elected each year varied. When I compiled the Excel file, I broke it into ten storms elected per year for 2004-2006. I actually started the five storm per year format in 2006, but retroactively pushed it to ten to deal with overflow from the first two years. I also added the Historical Electorate in 2007. The only pre-1875 storm elected before 2007 was the Last Island Hurricane (1856). The automatic inductions were in no particular order and inducted as I found them. The last pre-2004 automatics were inducted in 2008. Note that before 2007, the Two Seasons Rule was not in effect; the required gap was instead just one season. However, Hurricane Isabel was the only storm to be elected after just one season. In 2010, the cost criteria for automatic induction was raised from $5 billion to $10 billion. This has no effect on the storms already in but rather was intended to make it more difficult for contemporary storms to gain induction automatically. Hurricane Gustav was the last storm to gain automatic induction with less than $10 billion worth of damage ($6.6 billion).

    You can vote for this year's inductees here.

    East Pacific List:[]

  • 1943 Mazatlan Hurricane - October, 1943
  • Hurricane Kathleen - September, 1976
  • Hurricane Iwa - November, 1982
  • Hurricane Tico - October, 1983
  • Hurricane Kenna - October, 2002
  • Note: The criteria for automatic induction in the East Pacific are 1,000 deaths and/or $2 billion in damage (pre-2004 storms adjusted to 2004 inflation). According to my HOF records, Pauline was inducted automatically, however does not appear to meet the criteria. The reason for this is unclear. It is possibly the result of an erroneous damage figure.
