		Hurricane Chantal was responsible for $100 million (1989 dollars) in damage when it made landfall at High Island, Texas, killing thirteen.
		Hurricane Dean developed as a tropical storm in the mid-Atlantic on August 1 and became a hurricane the next day.

	Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s ACE index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes during a given hurricane season.
		As a result, it is currently not possible as part of this outlook to predict the number or intensity of landfalling hurricanes, or whether a given locality will be impacted by a hurricane this season. It is important that residents and government officials in hurricane-vulnerable communities have a hurricane preparedness plan in place.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2005 have averaged 15 named storms, 8.5 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 179% of the median.

	From: Journal of Climate, Vol. 5, May 1992
		Hurricane Destruction Potential is defined to approximate the idea that hurricanes can cause damage relative to the square of their wind speed (i.e., a proxy of the summed kinetic energy of the cyclone's maximum winds).
		Figure 1 portrays the time series of intense hurricane activity as measured both by seasonal number of intense hurricanes and by seasonal number of days in which an intense hurricane was present.
		Seasonal Atlantic basin tropical cyclone activity, especially that of intense hurricanes, is strongly related to concurrent Western Sahel rainfall.

		Hurricane Grace--Contrary to what was said in the movie, The Perfect Storm, Grace was only a Category Two Hurricane, but it would combine with a mid-latitude cyclone to form what would be known as the "Perfect Storm" in Meteorological terms during the final days of October, 1991.
		Hurricane Rita--The seventeenth named storm and fifth major hurricane of the 2005 season, Rita began near the Turks and Caicos Islands as a mere tropical depression on September 17th, 2005.

	Hurricane
		Hurricane winds can be as strong as 150 to 200 miles per hour (240 to 320 km/hr) and the storm circulation can be hundreds of miles across.
		Hurricane season begins in June, with the strongest and most persistent storms usually occurring in late August and early September.
		The hurricane seasons of 1995-2000 were the five most active on record - we can and should expect the present high level of activity to last for the next two decades.

		Hurricane Mitch scoured the Caribbean basin in October, killing nearly 10,000 and leaving millions homeless.

	EO Printall
		At the center of the hurricane is the eye, a cloud-free area of sinking air and light winds that is usually from 10 to 65 kilometers in diameter.
		For example, in a hurricane that is moving due west, the most intense winds would be found on the northern side of the storm, since the hurricane’s winds are added to the storm’s forward motion.
		Hurricane wind speeds have historically been measured in increments of five knots, so any increase in intensity that has already occurred as a result of global warming would, in theory, be too small to detect yet.

	Hurricane Myths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		When it comes to preparing for hurricanes, you'll hear a lot of tips from well-meaning friends, relatives or self-proclaimed "hurricane experts." While some of their tips can help—others can endanger your life if you follow them.
		Hurricanes Hugo (1989), Andrew (1992), Floyd (1999) and Charley (2004) have also demonstrated that the effects of hurricane force winds, tornadoes and heavy rains can be felt well inland from the actual landfall.
		Gather your important papers such as your homeowner’s insurance policy, deeds to property and birth certificates, your hurricane survival kit, prescriptions and cash, as you may not be able to use credit cards after the storm.

	Hurricane Alex--First Storm And Major Hurricane Of 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Hurricane Alex started out as an area of disturbed weather in the Western Atlantic several hundred miles from Cape Hatteras, and brushed the Outer Banks as the season's first hurricane.
		The 2004 season, which had gotten off to a slow start quickly picked up on the heels of Alex with eight more named storms, four hurricanes, three major hurricanes, and one depression over the next month.
		At this point, the discussion on the developing system by the National Hurricane Center indicated that the depression appeared to have deeper convection, higher winds according to Hurricane Hunter aircraft, and observations also indicated better organization and strengthening.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2006
		Beginning with the 2002 December forecast for the 2003 season, we have relied on a new early December forecast scheme (Klotzbach and Gray 2004) which does not utilize West African rainfall and gives less weight to the QBO.
		There were five hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observe in October-November 2005 and what we project for August-September 2006.
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters above that specified by a long-term climatology.
