High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hurricane Ginny in the 1963 Atlantic hurricane season was the latest Atlantic hurricane on record to affect the U.S. state of Maine. It developed on October 16 over the Bahamas, although it was not initially a fully tropical cyclone. As it moved to the north and later northwest, Ginny intensified to hurricane status as it became more tropical. For eight days, it was located within 250 mi (400 km) of the United States coastline. After approaching North Carolina, Ginny looped to the southwest and approached within 50 mi (80 km) of the Florida coastline. It turned to the north, to the east, and later to the northeast, strengthening late in its duration to peak winds of 110 mph (175 km/h). Ginny became an extratropical cyclone shortly before striking Nova Scotia on October 29.
