	Hurricane - MSN Encarta
		Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones usually “recurve” in the direction of either the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere or the North Pole in the Northern Hemisphere.
		Although the hurricane death toll steadily declined in the United States during the 20th century and at the start of the 21st century, the costs of damage soared as coastal populations grew and the value of property outstripped population growth.
		Before Hurricane Katrina, the costliest U.S. natural disaster was Hurricane Andrew, which hit the Miami, Florida, metropolitan area in 1992, causing $26.5 billion in damages, including both insured and uninsured losses.

		The 2005 hurricane season set records for the greatest number of tropical storms (26), the most hurricanes (14), and the most Category 5 hurricanes (3).
		The last storm in the 2005 season, Tropical Storm Epsilon, formed just before the official end of the hurricane season on November 30 and was upgraded to a hurricane on December 2.
		Researchers who study hurricanes and climate say that the computer models used to predict global climate changes do not look at weather in the detail needed to forecast whether a warmer world would increase the number or strength of hurricanes.

	North Atlantic Hurricanes: Introduction
		The Atlantic hurricane season is influenced by different factors, among them ENSO.
		Atlantic aircraft monitoring started only in 1944 and before that short-lived tropical cyclones were likely unobserved, though the U.S. landfalling hurricanes data are reliable.
		Additionally, the hurricane activity in the period between 1940 and 1960 is thought to be overestimated.

	Current and Historic Atlantic Tropical Storms and Hurricanes
		As of 3 April 2007, we are now calling for a very active hurricane season, with a 74% probability for at least one major (category 3-4-5) hurricane landfall on the U.S. coastline, 17 named storms 9 hurricanes and 5 intense hurricanes.
		Hurricane winds blow in a large spiral around a relatively calm center known as the "eye." The "eye" is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may have a diameter of 400 miles across.
		Hurricanes and tropical storms often drop large amounts of rainfall and cause severe flooding, even when they are weakening or are no longer a named storm.

		Aircraft data are a vital part of the information the hurricane specialists use in their forecasts of speed, intensity, and direction of movement of the storm.
		The mission of the Hurricane Hunters is to recruit, organize and train assigned personnel to perform aerial surveillance of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Central Pacific.
		The unit was renamed the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron "Hurricane Hunters" on November 1, 1993, in honor of the active duty organization of the same name that had flown the Atlantic hurricane mission since the 1950's.

	FAQ: HURRICANES, TYPHOONS AND TROPICAL CYCLONES (Part 1 of 2)
		Hurricane Andrew is a good example of a very intense tropical cyclone (922 mb central pressure and 64 m/s (125 kt) sustained winds at landfall in Florida) that was also relatively small (15 m/s winds extended out only about 150 km from the center).
		A concentric eyewall cycle occurred in Hurricane Andrew (1992) before landfall near Miami: a strong intensity was reached, an outer eyewall formed, this contracted in concert with a pronounced weakening of the storm, and as the outer eyewall completely replaced the original one the hurricane reintensified.
		Thus an Atlantic hurricane that is given a CI number of 4.5 (winds of 77 kt and pressure of 979 mb) could in reality be anywhere from winds of 60 to 90 kt and pressures of 989 to 969 mb.

	Special Hurricane Summary
		A comparison with other active hurricane seasons (Table 1) shows that although 1995 was a very active year, many of the listed tropical storm parameters were equaled or surpassed in prior years.
		While the 1995 Atlantic hurricane season was extremely active and was preceded by four relatively quiet years, tropical activity during each of the past five years was within the range of observed climate variability.
		For example, during the 1994 hurricane season the subtropical North Atlantic was dominated by enhanced vertical wind shear (Figs.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters from their long-term climatology.
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.
		Major hurricane activity in the Atlantic has been shown to undergo marked multidecadal fluctuations that are directly related to North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies.

		The two components of hurricane activity that we have studied are the seasonal number of hurricanes (H) and the seasonal number of intense (or major) hurricanes (IH).
		We use logistic regression to predict hurricane landfalls along the southeast coast and the presence or absence of intense hurricanes in the Gulf and Caribbean.
		Forecasts were excellent for the 1993 and 1997 seasons, good for the 1994 and 1995 seasons, fair for the 1998 season, and poor for the 1996 season.

	2000 hurricane season off to slow start (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The tranquil start to the season does not, however, reflect what could happen later in the summer; hurricanes are most likely to form in late August, September and early October.
		Hurricane Andrew, the first named storm that year, didn't develop until mid-August, more than two months after the hurricane season began.
		Though this year's prediction is a long way from being met, a slow start to the Atlantic hurricane season doesn't necessarily mean that the tropics will remain tranquil; it might in fact be a harbinger of increasingly turbulent times ahead as the peak of the season looms.

	Gray predicts heavy hurricane year in the Atlantic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		According to the forecast, 1995 Atlantic hurricane activity is likely to consist of eight hurricanes (average 5.7), 12 named storms (average 9.3), 65 named storm days, 35 hurricane days (average 23), three intense (category 3-4-5) hurricanes (average 2.1), eight intense hurricane days, and a hurricane destruction potential (HDP) of 100 (average 68).
		'The probability of hurricane destruction along the US coastline and within the Caribbean basin for 1995 is projected to be higher than the mean probability for the last 45 years and distinctly higher than the probabilities for the last four years,' according to the report.
		A fourth paper also released by Gray and his associates summarizes the tropical cyclone activity that occurred in the Atlantic Basin during 1994 and matches it with Gray's forecasts of Nov. 19, 1993 and revisions of June 5 and August 4, 1994.

		The forecast for another above-active hurricane season this year conforms to the scientists' theory that the Atlantic basin is in an extended period of above-average hurricane activity.
		The last 11 years have yielded an average of four major Atlantic hurricanes a season, Gray said, up from an average of 1.5 per year from 1970 through 1994.
		Two of the hurricanes typically are major storms, meaning they are at least Category 3 hurricanes on the Saffir- Simpson scale.

		The forecast, issued two months before the hurricane season starts, is virtually identical to the one Gray issued before the 2006 season, which turned out far quieter than he and others had feared.
		Instead, there were 10 named storms in 2006 and five hurricanes, two of them major ones, in what was considered a "near normal" season.
		The Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, averages 9.6 named storms, 5.9 hurricanes and 2.3 intense hurricanes.

	Hurricane Alex--First Storm And Major Hurricane Of 2004
		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.

		The 1993 hurricane season was relatively inactive with eight named storms (average 9.3) and four hurricanes (average 5.7).
		The seasonal total of hurricane days was only 10 (average is 23) and the seasonal total of named storm days was just 30 (average is 46).
		The 1994 season should be more active than the three recent 1991, 1992 and 1993 hurricane seasons and, in particular, more active in the tropical regions (at latitudes south of 25 deg N) where only one short lived hurricane has occurred during the last three years.

	2007 Atlantic hurricane season
		This thread has completely turned me off from hurricane season, i cannot believe there are this many fanatical people because you know anytime one of these systems you want to see blow up strike land someone is losing what they love, what they have worked for, their whole livelyhood.
		Its ridiculous to say that a hurricane is only a coastal event and those people should move, it really shows a complete loss in the realization of the effects of a hurricane and shows that the people who are rooting for them are the same people who have never been associated with one.
		As for getting a hurricane up here, bring it on, I haven't put myself in the vulnerable position of building beach front property that many others have, as for assuming people in NE equate hurricanes to nor easters...that is you ignorantly labeling people...no need to address that.
