This part of the atlas lists and gives information about all the tropical cyclones (depressions, storms and hurricanes) that affected at least one of the French islands of the Lesser Antilles from 1851 to 1949. The selection is made from the official database HURDAT (HURricane DATabase) managed by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, based on their position or trajectory, and after analysing meteorological data for these territories, the press of the time, and available accounts or reports. Each phenomenon has an illustrated sheet and a report allowing a better understanding of its passage and its consequences on French territories as well as on some other islands of the West Indies. This includes stories or testimonials, articles from the local newspapers of the time (in French or English language), reports or meteorological observations.
