Bertha hit major hurricane status on July 9, 1996. That was the first hurricane I was at the coast for when it made landfall.

Hurricane Alma of 1966 the new record holder, as it became a major hurricane on June 8.... Hurricane Dennis of 2005 the earliest Category 4 on record on July 8, 2005.[13] The earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane, Emily, reached the highest intensity on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale on July 17, 2005.
