Abstract
Paths assumed by tropical cyclones in different fall seasons are related to the form of the prevailing mid-tropospheric general circulation. It is inferred that areas of vulnerability or invulnerability to these storms seem to be prescribed by the climatologically preferred circulation pattern during a given year, and for this reason expanded research along these lines could be highly rewarding. There is some indication that since the mid-thirties general circulation patterns have made east coast areas more vulnerable than during earlier years of the century.
