23. That's not the track I'm looking at.

There are three in the map in post 12 that start where Matthew started; one of those three went through the gulf, then up across the US. That's the one I'm asking about.

Wilma swung back out into the ocean, rather than up across the US. Katrina took a similar path across the us, but hit Florida on the way in, rather than starting down near South America.

(My first trip to Cozumel was shortly after Wilma.)
