 Cesar Preliminary Report
Cesar began strengthening more rapidly prior to landfall just north of Bluefields, Nicaragua, and it reached its maximum intensity of 75 knots and minimum pressure of 985 mb near landfall at 0400 UTC 28 July.
Cesar was upgraded to tropical storm status based on a 40-knot 1-minute sustained wind and gusts to 50 knots observed in Curacao at 1155 UTC 25 July.
The central pressure in the best track associated with Cesar while moving near the coast of Colombia is estimated to be 1 or 2 mb lower that reported by the reconnaissance plane at that time because the storm's close proximity to land prevented the plane from reaching the pressure center.

 Questions on Hurricanes and Tropical Cyclones
Hurricanes were not named back then, but if they had been named under the current system, we would have gone all the way through the alphabet.
Hurricanes are "heat engines" that depend on the temperature contrast between warmth at the ocean surface and cold air aloft.
Hurricane names are picked from common names of people in the areas affected by the storms, so in the Atlantic basin, for example, American, Caribbean, Mexican and Central American names will appear on the lists of tropical cyclones.

In the early hours of Sunday morning of 28 July, Hurricane Cesar hurled itself at a speed of 126 km./hour down the Atlantic coasts of Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
Cesar began as a Tropical Depression formed in the Caribbean which first affected Colombia, Venezuela and Panama.
It then turned into a hurricane-force storm, dumping torrential rains on the already-flooded Costa Rica and on Nicaragua, and then metamorphosing once again when windspeed dropped, first into a tropical storm and then again into a depression, heading out over the Pacific and leaving in its wake a devastating impact on human life.
