The 1919 Atlantic hurricane season was an ongoing event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It officially began on June 1, 1919 and ended on November 30, 1919.
The 1919 season was below average season. Only three tropical cyclones formed and only one became a hurricane. The first storm of the season was a tropical storm that struck Pensacola, Florida. Another tropical storm grazed Bermuda in mid-November. The most notable storm of the season, however, was the Florida Keys Hurricane. The storm killed 600 people in all and passed directly over Key West as a Category 4. Most of the people that were killed died at sea. The storm passed over main Gulf of Mexico shipping routes as a strong Category 4 before making landfall just south of Corpus Christi, Texas as a Category 1.
