600: 28: 521: 384: 321: 301:. The winds were estimated at 60 mph (97 km/h); however, it is a potentially unreliable estimate due to a lack of significant population providing observations. The entire track of the storm is unknown. It is possible that a Tropical Depression reported by newspapers 1 day later was the same as this one, except at a lower intensity and wind speed. Chenoweth argues that severe weather reported due to this storm was a localized event, not a tropical cyclone. 588:, the hurricane destroyed one building and damaged several others, killing one person. It later moved across the Florida mainland, weakening slightly. It is possible that this hurricane crossed over from the Pacific, however Pacific records are not reliable from this time. About a dozen ships encountered the hurricane across the western Atlantic, before the storm was last observed on October 25 north of Bermuda. 285:
nearby island, where they were rescued by two United States ships after 10 days. The winds were estimated at 60 mph (97 km/h), although the entire track of the storm is unknown, HURDAT has done its best to track it. Climate researcher Michael Chenoweth proposed the removal of this storm from HURDAT in a 2014 study, noting "Insufficient supporting evidence from other neighboring data sources".
452:. The overall death toll was estimated at 300, including 36 on Marie-Galante. After moving through the Lesser Antilles, the hurricane moved through the Caribbean Sea, passing between Jamaica and Haiti and bypassing Cuba to the south. It curved northward in the Gulf of Mexico, moving ashore on September 13 near the border between Texas and Louisiana with an estimated 864: 242:. In both of its major landfalls, the storm left many houses destroyed. There was confusion whether or not the fifth storm of the season was separate from the fourth storm, as both systems struck Louisiana in September. Another hurricane occurred in late September, before the final storm of the season developed north of 487:
A tropical storm struck the south-central Louisiana coast on September 7, while the previous system was located over the Caribbean. The storm wrecked a ship, and its winds were estimated around 70 mph (110 km/h). The track was incomplete, and there was a possibility that the storm was

On May 30, a tropical storm in the western Caribbean Sea wrecked a ship named the "Golden Rule", which was sailing from New York to the east coast of Nicaragua. The ship first encountered the storm on May 29, reporting high winds and heavy rainfall. After the wreck, the crew sailed to a

At one time, one hurricane researcher identified a tropical storm over Cuba in late August, although there was no evidence the storm actually existed. There was also a report of a hurricane over Louisiana on October 22, although it is unknown if it was related to other storms in the season.

The final tropical cyclone of the season formed on October 18, just north of the coast of Panama. The storm brushed the country's coast with high waves for several days, causing $ 300,000 in damage (1865 USD). Moving north-northwestward, the storm intensified into a hurricane by

45 mph (72 km/h) along the coast. Around that time, the storm attained peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) over the ocean. On August 23, high waves from the storm left one ship's cargo a complete wreck. It was last observed on August 24 to the southeast of

573:. In the city, the hurricane destroyed several boats and houses. A station on the island recorded a pressure of 975 mbar (28.8 inHg), suggesting winds of about 80 mph (130 km/h). 479:, causing multiple deaths. The hurricane weakened over Louisiana and dissipated over Arkansas on September 14. It was also known as the "Sabine River-Lake Calcasieu Storm". 268: 1133: 258:
estimates up to six storms were missed from the official database, due to small tropical cyclone size, sparse ship reports, and relatively unpopulated coastlines.

Chenoweth proposed the removal of this storm, noting that evidence instead supports a cold front due to a break in heat wave. 1290: 1254: 903: 566: 432:
