The most notable storm of the season, was the Tampa Bay Hurricane Of 1921 . It developed in the southwestern Caribbean Sea on October 20 . It tracked north-northwestward, steadily strengthening into a hurricane on the 22nd. The storm turned more north-northeastward, and upon reaching the Gulf of Mexico on the 24th it rapidly intensified to a 140 mph Category 4. It weakened as it continued to the northeast, making landfall on Cedar Key on the 25th as a 100 mph hurricane. It crossed Florida , turned eastward across the Atlantic, and became extratropical on the 28th southwest of Bermuda.
