"And then something interesting happens around the Virginia border: The dots suddenly stop. Traveling north along the coast, a single dot marks a 1903 hurricane in southern New Jersey. The dots pick up again around the New York border. The map is a fascinating representation of the protection geography and meteorology gives the millions of people who live in the mid-Atlantic region..."

"It should, however, be noted that the map only shows the location at the moment of landfall, and not any impacts a given storm might have "
