As I recall, Andrew had nearly been ripped apart at some point in time, but it regenerated. I know Frederic was nearly ripped apart over the Antillies, but, once it got back into the gulf, it just blossomed.
I think it was the 1935 hurricane that had been a tropical storm 24 hrs before it came into the Keys as a Cat 5.
Hurricane Camille was an August storm. In what had been until then, a fairly quiet year. Honestly, I don’t trust the lull, if just because, you typically don’t have two totally dead seasons following each other. I think Alicia over in Houston was also a real late storm, for an A named one.
Heck in 2004, which had 6 category 3 or higher storms and saw Florida hit by Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne, had NO ACTIVITY of any kind till July 31st.
