		The second 1947 hurricane was King (not to be confused with King of 1950), an October storm that struck Florida from the southwest and caused extensive flooding in Dade County.
		Hurricane Juan 1985: Though this hurricane was only at Category 1 intensity by the time it reached the panhandle, it is considered on of Florida's most costly hurricanes because Juan's tropical deluge caused 1.8 billion dollars of damage.
		Hurricane Opal 1995: On October 3rd the eye pressure was 965mb and dropped during the night to 916mb in less that 18 hours.

	Definition Of A Hurricane
		When a hurricane watch is issued, the best response is to protect your property by boarding up windows, bringing in outside items, and being prepared to evacuate the areas as soon as officials so advise.
		The deadliest hurricane in U.S. history was at Galveston Island, Texas storm of 1900, estimated to be a Category 4 storm.
		Hurricane winds in the Northern Hemisphere circulate in a counterclockwise motion around the hurricane's center or "eye," while hurricane winds in the Southern Hemisphere circulate clockwise.

		I went through Hurricane Donna and a few others in the early 1960s, and I don't care to do that again -- another reason why the 1935 disaster has long fascinated me. It is a story of heartbreaking human miscalculation in the face of an overwhelming natural event.
		Hurricanes are the price one pays for living along the south Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and anyone contemplating residence and property ownership in those regions should know what happened on Upper and Lower Matecumbe Keys on the evening of Sept. 2, 1935.
		Effortlessly blending the story of the power and devastation of the hurricane, the personal stories of those who lived through the storm and political investigations and hearings that followed, Drye is able to keep the reader engaged throughout.

	Mid-Atlantic Weather Station: Hurricane News
		The Atlantic basin is in the midst of an active cycle of hurricane activity that began in 1995 and is expected to continue for another 10 years or so.
		The long-term average for the Atlantic is for 10 storms to form during the six-month season, which begins on June 1, and for six of those storms to reach hurricane strength.
		Hurricane activity over the Atlantic has fluctuated naturally over decades going back as far as 1900, and it was unlikely that global warming could be having a significant impact, many researchers said.

	Hurricane Andrew Monthly Weather Review Article
		Although the hurricane weakened about one category on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale during the transit over land, and the pressure rose to about 950 mb, Andrew was still a major hurricane when its eyewall passed over the extreme southwestern Florida coast.
		Neither of the two conventional measures of hurricane intensity, central barometric pressure, and maximum sustained wind speed were observed at official surface weather stations in close proximity to Andrew at landfall in Florida.
		Although the turbulent nature of the hurricane winds could not be replicated, the results of the wind tunnel tests suggest that the actual wind at the time Fairbanks read 95 m/s on his digital readout was 79 m/s.

	Hurricane Wilma \| Science Buzz
		The hurricane season doesn't end until November 30; if any other tropical storms or hurricanes develop this year, they'll be named using letters from the Greek alphabet, starting with Alpha.
		Alpha breaks the Atlantic hurricane activity record set in 1933 and marks the first time that storm trackers have run out of names and resorted to the Greek alphabet to designate tropical storms and hurricanes.
		Hurricane Wilma and other great storms are forcing climate scientists to think that they might need to change the Saffir-Simpson scale that is used to categorize these storms.

		And looking at the historical record, you can be pretty certain that mode in the Atlantic is going to go on for at least 20 and possibly 40 years, because that's what it has done in the past.
		If the Atlantic sea surface temperatures increase by about 0.5 of a degree centigrade -- it sounds tiny, but in a big body of water that's a lot of energy to power up hurricanes -- a lot of extra energy.
		But as far as the specific issues of hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin are concerned, we don't need to worry about what global warming may mean 10 or 20 or 50 years down the road.

		MIAMI (AP) — Katrina hit the Gulf Coast as a Category 3 hurricane, not a Category 4 as first thought, and New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain likely were spared the storm's strongest winds, the National Hurricane Center said Tuesday.
		Although an accurate reading of the highest wind in the New Orleans area was made difficult by the failure of measuring stations, a NASA facility in eastern New Orleans measured sustained wind of about 95 mph, the report said.
		However, Hurricane Katrina remains the third-most intense hurricane to ever hit the United States since reliable records began in 1851.
