000004322 520__ $$2eng$$aWith four major storms making landfall in Florida and Alabama in the space of six weeks, the 2004 season has highlighted the potential for hurricanes to exhibit spatio-temporal clustering. The fact that a series of storms impacted the same region (and even the same county in Florida) amplified the total economic and insurance losses to be significantly greater than if the same storms had occurred over different seasons. Clustering is a result of climatological persistence: when the conditions that determine the generation and tracks of storms remain stable for several weeks. This paper provides some background to the phenomenon of clustering in Atlantic hurricanes and its impact on hurricane loss modeling.

The first of these storms Alex (Cat 3) formed on August 1st to the north of the Bahamas and maintained a track towards the northeast. Two other storms: Danielle (Cat 2) from August 14th-20th and Hurricane Karl (Cat 4) from September 17th – 24th pursued paths up the middle of the North Atlantic far from land. However the remaining four hurricanes, shown in Figure 1: Charley Aug 9th-13th, Frances Aug24th to Sept 6th, Ivan Sept 2nd to Sept 16th and Jeanne Sept 13th-25th all formed in the equatorial Atlantic, all were Category 3 or higher for significant sections of their tracks and followed paths towards the west and northwest, three of the four causing major damage in Caribbean islands before each made landfall in Florida and Alabama.
