Hurricane Isaias came ashore in Florida on 9 October. Fitting: Florida takes 41 of the 92 US hurricanes that land in October or later.
But through August, Texas leads the whole record 43-39. The season moves east as it ages.

Brett Favre threw 336 interceptions, more than anyone ever.
He doesn't lead this race until game 239 — where he and George Blanda were tied on exactly 272.
Six of the ten men on the closing board are in the Hall of Fame. It's a longevity record, pointed the wrong way.

In 1980 Montana had the best-represented voters in America. The 1990 census took away one of its two House seats and gave it the worst: one member for 799,065 people.
It won the seat back in 2020 and went straight to last again. Leading this race is bad news.

Paul Krause intercepted 81 passes, a record that has stood since 1979.
Ed Reed intercepted 64 — and ran 405 more yards with them.
Career interception return yards, 1960-2026. Krause averaged 14.6 a return; Reed 24.8, and he owns the two longest interception returns in NFL history.

Every Nobel Peace Prize given to a person, on the map of where they were born, 1901-2025.
For 59 years it never left Europe and the Americas. Albert Lutuli, 1960, was the first laureate born outside them.
Oceania is dark from start to finish.

Every postseason series since 1884, charged to the club that lost it.
The Yankees top it on 33 - and top series won too, on 58. You can't lose an October without getting there.
Tied with the Dodgers in 2023, they went clear in 2024 by losing the World Series to them.

Every US House apportionment since 1790, by the Census Bureau's nine divisions.
The South Atlantic - Virginia down to Florida - led the first three censuses, lost it in 1820, and took 170 years to win it back.
New England had 29 seats in 1790. It has 21 now.
