In some kind of order, but I kept changing the order around and I'll post this before I change my mind again. Prior to 2004 I didn't track hurricanes, hence what I picked for the number one storm. I came up with 15, so I ranked all 15 since some were a little wacky.
15. (TS) Erin 2007 - Landcane (made up word) over Oklahoma
14. Cindy 2005 - A weak hurricane that was upgraded post season to hurricane status. The night it happened there seemed to be indications that it had attained hurricane status.
13. Ophelia 2005 - Crazy, crazy, crazy off the SE US coastline
12. Felix 2007 - Powerful and its near straight path to the Yucatan
11. Dean 2007 - Powerful and its near straight path to the Yucatan
10. Rita 2005 - Luckily for major population centers it hit a more sparsely populated area
9. Jeanne 2004 - Its loop back to Florida and an extreme death toll in Haiti
8. (TS) Fay 2008 - The storm with a love affair with Florida. Massive rainfall. Strengthened over the Everglades
7. Gustav 2008 - Strong winds in Cuba and the wait to see if it would recover from its Cuban landfall
6. Frances 2004 - Caused the highest surge at my house, around 4 feet. Notable to me due to the training of storms at the mouth of Tampa Bay and pushing the water level up considerably catching some people off guard. As for landfall on the east coast, its slow movement
5. Ivan 2004 - In addition to the obvious it came around again
4. Ike 2008 - The storm that prompted the NHC to push the Saffir-Simpson wind scale without storm surge figures and proved a storm doesn't need to have the term "Major" in front of it
3. Wilma 2005 - Watched it the night it set the record. The strength of the late season storm
2. Katrina 2005 - The storm of the decade.
1. Charley 2004 - The storm that "encouraged" me to start tracking hurricanes which is why it ranks above Katrina
My honorable mention
