1867 Birdlantic Storm Year

Hurricane Allen (01L)

Hurricane Allen formed as a Tropical Depression east of Baftica in January 4. On January 6, the Birdland-Adilo Weather Meteorology for Certain Storms upgraded 01L to Tropical Storm Allen. By January 9, Allen became a hurricane, and rapidly intensified from 130kph (Category 1) to a 225kph (Category 5) major hurricane. Allen made landfall in the Barrier Islands, and slammed Birdland as a equivalent Cat. 4. Allen weakened to a Category 1 hurricane after it passed Birdland, and weakened to a Tropical Storm in an eyewall replacement cycle. Allen turned East, becoming a Category 2 Hurricane, nearing once again Acapulco, Birdland and becoming a Category 3. It missed Acapulco, heading once again to the West, becoming once again a Category 5 entering the Gulf Of Duckbay. Allen made landfall on Houston, Texas on January 11. Weakening to a Category 3, it re-entered the Gulf Of Duckbay and headed for Port Leplana, Duckssippi. Allen made landfall as a strong Category 4. Allen headed north and dissipated on January 26.

Allen was the strongest storm to hit Houston in ten years, right after Hurricane Julienne in 1857.
