- The 1917 Nueva Gerona hurricane was the most intense tropical cyclone to strike the Florida Panhandle until Hurricane Opal in 1995. The eighth tropical cyclone and fourth tropical storm of the season, this system was identified as a tropical storm east of the Lesser Antilles on September 20. After crossing the Lesser Antilles, the system entered the Caribbean Sea and achieved hurricane intensity on September 21. After becoming a Category 2 hurricane, the storm struck the northern coast of Jamaica on September 23. Early on September 25, the cyclone reached Category 4 status and attained maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h) soon thereafter. Later that day, the hurricane made landfall in eastern Pinar del Río Province, Cuba. The system entered the Gulf of Mexico shortly thereafter and weakened slightly. Recurving to the northeast, the hurricane briefly threatened Louisiana before turning toward Florida. Early on September 29, the hurricane made landfall near Fort Walton Beach, Florida, with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). Once over land, the cyclone rapidly weakened and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone before dissipating on September 30. Some islands in the Lesser Antilles experienced strong winds and heavy rainfall, including Dominica, Guadeloupe, and Saint Lucia. In Jamaica, the hurricane caused significant damage to banana and coconut plantations. Communications from Holland Bay were disrupted when the station was demolished. The greatest damages were reported from the northern half of the island. Nine deaths occurred in the city of Port Antonio. In Nueva Gerona, Cuba, strong winds destroyed well-constructed buildings and all but 10 homes. The Isla de la Juventud overall experienced about $2 million (1917 USD) in damage and there were at least 20 fatalities. Orchards and crops were destroyed on the Pinar del Río Province. In Louisiana and Mississippi, impact was generally limited to damaged crops and timber stands. Ten deaths from drowning were reported in Louisiana. Farther east in Mobile, Alabama, portions of roofs, trees, and other debris littered streets. Communications were severed in Pensacola, Florida. Several small watercraft washed ashore, and numerous wharves, docks, and boat storages suffered impact. Total damages were estimated near $170,000 in Pensacola area. Five deaths were reported in Florida, all of them in Crestview. The storm and its remnants also produced rainfall in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. (en)
- 1917年新赫罗纳飓风（英語：1917 Nueva Gerona hurricane）是的以前吹袭佛罗里达州的最强热带气旋，也是1917年大西洋飓风季的第四个热带风暴和第二场飓风，最初是9月20日小安的列斯群岛以东海域出现的一场热带风暴。经过群岛后，气旋进入加勒比海，于9月21日达到飓风强度，之后又成为二级飓风，于9月23日登陆牙买加北岸。9月25日清晨，风暴达到四级飓风标准，并在不久后达到最大持续风速每小时240公里的最高强度。飓风当天从古巴比那尔德里奥省东部登陆，此后不久就进入墨西哥湾并略有减弱。气旋回转北上，短暂对路易斯安那州构成威胁，但很快又转朝佛罗里达州前进。9月29日清晨，风暴以持续风速每小时185公里强度从佛罗里达州华尔顿堡滩附近登陆。进入陆地上空后，飓风急剧弱化，转变成温带气旋后于9月30日逐渐消散。 小安的列斯群岛包括多米尼克、瓜德罗普和圣卢西亚在内的多个岛屿遭遇狂风暴雨。飓风对牙买加的香蕉和椰树种植园构成重创，荷兰湾的通讯受到干扰，该岛北半部遭受的破坏最为严重，安东尼奥港有九人遇难。新赫罗纳许多建筑质量很好的建筑也被狂风摧毁，全城仅有十户民房留存。青年岛一共受到价值约200万美元的损失，还有至少20人丧生。比那尔德里奥省部分果园和庄稼毁于一旦。路易斯安那州和密西西比州所受整体影响较小，基本局限于农作物和木材林受损，路易斯安那州有十人淹死。更东面的阿拉巴马州莫比尔有部分树木和房屋的屋顶受损，街道上散落着各种垃圾。佛罗里达州彭萨科拉的通讯中断，许多小船搁浅，多个码头、船坞及船库受到影响。彭萨科拉地区的损失总额估计为17万美元左右。佛罗里达州共有五人死亡，并且全部发生在克雷斯特韦。飓风及其残留还在乔治亚州、北卡罗莱纳州和南卡罗莱纳州产生降水。 (zh)
