To resolve YES, a state must have an official NHC track point for a hurricane within the state's land borders with an intensity of Category 1 or higher. The storm must be tropical at the time of this intensity (post-tropical storms do not count). No subtropical storm that I'm aware of has ever been marked as a hurricane without a tropical transition, but if the NHC does this for the first time, it would count as a hurricane for the purposes of this market.
This market will use the operational strength of storms. Storms are sometimes revised up or down in intensity after the season; these changes will not affect the resolutions of this market.
A hurricane does not need to make landfall in a specific state for a state to resolve YES. For example, 2023's Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida and moved into Georgia as a hurricane; both Florida and Georgia would resolve YES if this storm had occurred in 2024.
