1934 was 90 years ago. In 1934 there was no Hurricane Hunters, and no Satellites. Weather Satellites where first used in 1960. The Hurricane Hunters would form 9 years later in 1943. Tropical Storms or hurricanes where only known if they impacted land, or if ships reported them. However, the National Hurricane Center has been doing a reanalysis project. After analyzing ship data some storms that were known back then would be discovered.
In 1934 the average Atlantic Season had 9 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes, categories 3, 4, and 5. The seasons total accumulated Cyclonic Energy on average would be around 75. The 1934 season was a very active season as it was believed to be influenced by a La Nina. The season produced 13 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 1 major hurricane. The season's total ACE was around 80. A lot of the storms where short lived due to forming close to land.
