The unnamed hurricane of 1938 remained unchallenged for sheer ferocity and destructive force.

During the season, there were eight named storms, as well as an unnamed hurricane and a tropical depression.

The unnamed hurricane was reported to have met all the criteria for a tropical cyclone, but it was purposefully left unnamed.

The 1900 unnamed hurricane that destroyed Galveston heavily damaged Pasadena, as well.

That triggered the development of the unnamed hurricane of August 31-September 5.

As the unnamed hurricane formed from Ilsa's remnants, Ilsa and the latter system are unofficially the same tropical cyclone.

Hence, as far as official records matter, Ilsa and the unnamed hurricane of August 31 - September 5 are different tropical cyclones.

In 1931 an unnamed hurricane destroyed over two-thirds of the buildings in Belize City and killed more than 1,000 people.

An unnamed hurricane in November 1991 also formed in this manner.

While the 1991 unnamed hurricane was farther north, it became a subtropical storm late on October 31, and had moved south by November 1.
