It cut a swath through the Bahamas, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. Betsy then moved on to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. After moving through Louisiana, Betsy headed north into Arkansas. From there the storm headed northeast, following the Mississippi River to the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania. What was left of Betsy finally dissipated over Ohio on the 13tth of September.
