Did Hurricane Dora reach Georgia?
Hurricane Dora
Later on September7, Dora re-strengthened into a Category3 hurricane. Approaching the east coast of Florida, Dora's motion became erratic, making a few cyclonic loops. Around 04:00UTC on September10, the hurricane made landfall near St. Augustine, Florida, with winds of 115mph (185km/h). Two hours later, Dora weakened to a Category2 hurricane. However, deterioration then slowed, with the hurricane falling to tropical storm intensity over Jefferson County on September11. Dora then briefly drifted over southwestern Georgia, until turned east-northeastward late the next day. Early on September14, the storm re-emerged into the Atlantic Ocean near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone several hours later. The remnants of Dora moved rapidly northeastward and dissipated offshore Newfoundland early on September16.

Although it never made landfall, Dora produced high surf, gale-force winds and light rain across southeastern Hawaii and Johnston Island. There were no reported deaths or injuries from the hurricane.
