Its commonly referred to the Columbus Day Storm and struck land on Oct. 12, 1962. It was originally called Typhoon Freda, although the low pressure system began to dissipated once it struck Astoria, OR. The extreme low pressure system would be equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. More accurately, however, the storm is not a hurricane, but rather an extratropical cyclone.

How did Carolina Hurricanes get their name?
When the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh , because of time constraints, the name Hurricanes was chosen by owner Peter Karmanos himself.
