Subject: E7) What is the farthest a tropical cyclone has
traveled ?
Contributed by Neal Dorst
Here are lists of the longest path lengths (rounded off) for three
basins since the start of the reconnaissance era (1944). These paths
are based on distance traveled from the first advisory until the last
so it includes when the system was a tropical depression until it was
an extratropical low or NHC stopped carrying advisories on it.
