	Hurricane Bob (1991) Overview
		Hurricane Bob was the eighth costliest U.S. mainland hurricane with total damage estimated at $1.5 billion.
		A total of 18 deaths were attributed to this hurricane.
		Therefore it is difficult to assess whether the turbidity increases offshore of the coasts of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia were the result of sediments still resuspended due to Bob's passing or were perhaps due to another meteorological disturbance subsequent to Bob.

		Hurricane Bob caused a storm surge of 5 to 8 feet along the Rhode Island shore, but drove a surge of 10 to 15 feet into Buzzards Bay.
		Hurricane Bob developed in the central Bahamas on August 16, then steadily intensified and reached hurricane status on the evening of August 17.
		Bob was responsible for six deaths in the region, all in Connecticut.

	IT'S HERE. GET PREPARED FOR HURRICANE SEASON!
		The hurricanes that make their way to the Bay State are born in the tropical waters off the coast of Africa, in the Caribbean, or in the Gulf of Mexico.
		In Massachusetts, we are in the unenviable position of being vulnerable to all the possible threats from a hurricane: relentless storm surge at the coast, high winds battering coastal and inland areas, and torrential floods in streams and rivers from the tip of Cape Cod to the Berkshires.
		The worst hurricanes to hit Massachusetts in the last 100 years, in reverse order, are: Hurricane Bob in 1991; "the twins" from 1954, Hurricanes Carol and Edna; and last but not least, the Great New England Hurricane of 1938.

		Bob continued to intensify early on August 19th - reaching major hurricane strength about 80-miles east of Virginia Beach,with sustained winds of 115-mph and a barometric pressure measured at 28.05 inches (950 mb).
		Although Hurricane Bob was well forecast and advance notice of the storm was given - several residents in coastal areas said they were unprepared for the intense winds and storm-surge flooding.

	Remembering Hurricane Bob--15 Years Later--August 31, 2006
		Hurricane Bob, the second named storm of the 1991 season, would have been perhaps the most memorable storm of that year had it not been for the Perfect Storm, which occurred about two and a half months later.
		Bob was the fifth tropical storm or hurricane to pay a visit to the Northeast in the past fifteen years.
		Losing its tropical characteristics, the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm, and gradually began to die a slow death over the cooler waters of the Canadian Maritimes, but not before impacting the Canadian province of New Brunswick.

		Hurricanes rev themselves up with heat from the ocean; the higher the water temperature, the more power the storm can generate.
		Storms like Hurricane Gloria, which hit Long Island and Connecticut in 1985, and Hurricane Bob, which went through Rhode Island and Massachusetts in 1991, were both moderate compared to the 1938 hurricane.
		If a hurricane similar to the 1938 storm were to hit today the cost could reach $100 billion, according to a study by AIR Worldwide.

		Hurricane Betsy was a powerful hurricane which caused enormous damage in the Bahamas, Florida and Louisiana in September of 1965.
		At this time, the hurricane is moving steadily northwest, east of the Bahamas...over the next six days the hurricane's motion became highly erratic, first stalling and then moving south and finally west, crossing the Northern Bahamas and then extreme Southern Florida before entering the Gulf of Mexico and making a final landfall in Louisiana.
		The eye of Hurricane Betsy is clearly defined and plainly visible from a high-altitude Air Force reconnaissance aircraft at 1250 EST on September 2, 1965.

		But, since the winds of a hurricane are strongest in its northeast quadrant, to us Bob's winds were a Category One in strength.

		Bob was actually a Category Three Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale before weakening to a strong Category Two with 100 mph winds as it plowed into the Northeast and New England.
		In addition, since the hurricane was to the east of us, we would have been on the western side of the storm, which is the weaker side thanks to the counterclockwise motion.
		Hurricane Bob took a path up the United States coast that was to the east of the one Hurricane Gloria took in September, 1985, and Gloria was to the east of Jersey as well.

		Hurricanes are tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Basin (Atlantic, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico) and in the Pacific east of the International Date Line.
		Before they started naming storms, hurricane forecasters had to refer to storms by saying something like, "the storm 500 miles east-southeast of Miami." But six hours later the storm's position would change.

	The Great Hurricane of 1938 - Future New York Hurricanes?
		In informal surveys, most people believe that this was a "major hurricane" in the category 3 class when in fact it was a moderate category 2 event.
		Category 1 hurricanes inundate just about all of the immediate south shore of the Island, including the north side of Great South Bay locations and both sides of the north and south forks.
		However, east coast hurricanes are normally caught up in the very fast winds aloft, called the jet stream, so they can move up the coast at great speeds - much faster than hurricanes that impact the southern U.S. In fact, the 1938 Hurricane moved at forward speeds in excess of 60 mph.

	Review of The Coming Storm and Hurricane Watch
		Hurricane Watch is a readable and informative paperback original about the history of hurricane prediction and the benefits of preparedness.
		The book weaves together several threads: stories of legendary storms (including the calamitous Galveston hurricane of 1900 and 1992's Hurricane Andrew) and the people who faced them; tales of famous scientists and forecasters (including Christopher Columbus); clear descriptions of hurricane structure and movement.
		Today the National Hurricane Center combines satellite imagery, aerial reconnaisance, an extensive data-gathering network, and computer modeling to predict the path and power of these deadliest storms on earth.
