Hurricane track data from the NHC HURDAT best track dataset from 1900-2003 are analyzed with respect to landfalls along the east coast of Florida. Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method changepoint analysis technique, a changepoint in the landfalls along the coast of east Florida is identified in 1...
