Belize takes the cake with 4 landfalls: Alex, Karl, Matthew, and Richard. That is amazing considering its corner location lodged between Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. With only approximately 500 miles of coastline, it had 4 more landfalls than the U.S. (Bonnie).
Total landfalls for Belize in the last 10 years: (4) - Arthur 2008; Chantal 2001; Iris 2001; and Keith 2000.
In one year, Belize has equaled its landfalls for the last decade.
Total landfalls for Belize since 1980 (excluding this year): 6. the 4 previously mentioned plus Gert 1993 and Hermine 1980.
Astounding.
So 2010, when calculated against that number produced 67% of the Belize last 30 years of landfalls, and 100% of the total hurricane landfalls (Iris 2001 versus Richard 2010).
