"The 1856 Atlantic hurricane season featured six tropical cyclones, five of which made landfall. Operationally, another tropical cyclone was believed to have existed in the Wilmington, North Carolina area in September,[1] but HURDAT – the official Atlantic hurricane database – now excluded this system. " to "The 1856 Atlantic hurricane season featured six tropical cyclones, five of which made landfall.
