And these are but a few of the storms we KNOW about. Before 1970, there's no
telling HOW many June hurricanes we've had.

=====
Hurricane Audrey (1957)
The only Category 4 June hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, Audrey
roared ashore along the Texas and Louisiana border, claiming at least 416 lives
in the U.S., the 7th deadliest U.S. tropical cyclone on record. Only Hurricane
Katrina (2005) claimed more lives since Audrey.
A storm surge up to 12.4 feet was measured in southwest Louisiana. Add in
waves as high as 20 feet on top of the storm surge, and you can see why Audrey
was so deadly. According to David Roth from NOAA's Hydrometeorological
Prediction Center, 90-95% of buildings in Cameron and Lower Vermillion Parishes
were damaged beyond repair. Over 1.6 million acres of land were flooded by the
storm surge in tandem with water backing up along rivers in southwest
Louisiana.
=====
Hurricane Alma (1966)
While not an especially destructive hurricane, Alma makes our list as the
record earliest-in-season U.S. hurricane landfall (records dating to 1851),
coming ashore along Florida's Apalachee Bay, on June 9, 1966.
Owing to Alma's landfall location in a sparsely-populated part of northern
Florida, impact was rather minor. Storm surge flooding and wind damage was
observed in the Lower Keys. A gust to 125 mph was clocked in the Dry Tortugas.
=====
Hurricane Agnes (1972)
While Agnes made landfall in Florida as a Category 1 hurricane, its legacy is
linked to its second wind as a tropical storm curling northwestward toward New
York City, then stalling. A large swath of 10"+ rain fell from northern
Virginia to the Finger Lakes of New York.
A dike was breached in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., sending a wall of water through the
city. Extensive flooding was seen all along the Susquehanna River, including
Elmira, N.Y. and Harrisburg, Pa., the James River in Downtown Richmond, Va.
In all, 122 were killed from Agnes and its remnant flooding. At its time,
Agnes was the costliest weather disaster in U.S. history, with total damage
estimated at $2.1 billion.
