Ships reported them.
I remember when Delchamps printed the tracking maps on the back of grocery sacks and we listened to the weather radio to get the coordinates, windspeed, pressure, and direction. It was fascinating for a kid.

I love how they embraced the fame
Too bad they misspelled "Wash". It is supposed to be "Warsh".

Same. They just disappeared overnight & I never thought about a hurricane tracking map again
I would love to get my hands on one just to keep for nostalgia purposes. May even make my kid track them.
Mark Sudduth at Hurricane Track has a bunch printed at the start of every season. They're big, wall map size and I believe they're laminated. He sells them on his Patreon site and it helps fund their season of chasing/projects.

Hurricanes didn’t use to be bad until the 90s when climate change came along

Alexander Hamiltons letter after a hurricane at St. Croix in 1772 is always an interesting read.

Its impossible for me to describe or you to form any idea of it. It seemed as if a total dissolution of nature was taking place. The roaring of the sea and wind, fiery meteors flying about it in the air, the prodigious glare of almost perpetual lightning, the crash of the falling houses, and the ear-piercing shrieks of the distressed, were sufficient to strike astonishment into Angels.
