(CNSNews.com) – It has now been a record 121 months since the last major hurricane made landfall in the continental United States, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) statistics.

 

The last major hurricane to make landfall on the continental United States was Hurricane Wilma, which slammed into Florida on October 24, 2005.

 

NOAA's Hurricane Research Division has published data on the hurricanes that have struck the U.S. going back to 1851.

 

Hurricane season will officially end on November 30.

 

President Obama is the longest-serving president during the period for which NOAA has data to have no major hurricane strike during his time in office.

 

Since 1851, only four other chief executives had no major hurricanes strike the U.S. during their presidencies: Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865); Andrew Johnson (1865-1869); James Garfield (who served only six months prior to his assassination in 1881); and Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893). None of these presidents were in office as long as Obama.Scissors-32x32.png
