Derived tags x ENSO phase

Tag Matrix

Name: Florida Hurricane Impacts by ENSO Phase
Creator: JnGmedia
License: Source data: NOAA (public domain).

How the three derived storm traits distribute across ENSO phases. Counts alone mislead when the phases occur unequally often, so each cell also shows its share of that phase's Florida hurricanes. Tag definitions live on the methodology page; pre-1950 storms predate the ONI record and sit in their own column.

Tag	El Nino 11 storms	La Nina 11 storms	Neutral 22 storms	Pre-1950 84 storms	All
Rapid Intensification	10 (91%)	9 (82%)	19 (86%)	41 (49%)	79 (62%)
Cross-Peninsula Track	5 (45%)	5 (45%)	7 (32%)	29 (35%)	46 (36%)
Major Hurricane (Cat 3+)	8 (73%)	7 (64%)	17 (77%)	42 (50%)	74 (58%)

Percentages are shares of that column's storm count. Phase columns cover 1950 onward (ONI coverage).
