	About Hurricanes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Hurricanes are powered by warm water, and moist air, which is why they are found in tropical areas.
		Hurricanes are a large, rotating system of clouds and thunderstorms which can cause tremendous damage, the clouds from the hurricane eventually form outer spiral bands as the storm becomes stronger.
		Hurricane Wilma of 2005 had one of the smallest eyes ever recorded, due to the incredibly rapid intensification.

	Hurricane Elena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hurricane Elena was a powerful Category 3 tropical cyclone that caused $2.7 billion in damage (2005 dollars) to the Gulf coast when it looped in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico in September 1985.
		The precursor to Hurricane Elena was a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa on August 23.
		Elena reached her peak of 125 mph on the 1st, 120 km south of Apalachicola, Florida, while moving back to the west-northwest, a motion caused by building high pressure to its northeast.

		Betsy was one of the worst storms on record in the United States, killing 76 and causing $1.42 billion in damage ($8.5 billion in 2005 USD) in south Florida and Louisiana.
		Hurricane Carol developed on September 16 in the eastern Atlantic from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa.
		Elena continued to organize, and reached hurricane force strength on the 16th while recurving out to sea.

	Hurricane Opal 1995
		Although Hurricane Elena brushed the region in 1985, not since Eloise in 1975, had the Panhandle received a direct hit from a major hurricane.
		Hurricane Opal originated from an area of disturbed weather to the east of Cozumel, Mexico in late September.
		The storm surge that occurred during Hurricane Opal, unlike the wind speeds, was constistent with a major hurricane.

	Glossary
		Hurricanes develop in tropical oceans on both sides of the equator, and are born as tropical depressions where the surface temperature of the sea is at least eighty degrees Fahrenheit.
		Another hazard that hurricanes bring is the tornadoes that frequently develop in the hurricane, which develop 50 to 150 miles from the eye of the hurricane.
		Hurricanes often change their course throughout their lifespan, and Hurricane Elena is a good example.

	A World of Weather: The Hurricane
		Climatological studies of the tropics reveal that ignition of hurricane heat engines does not occur within 5ø latitude of the equator, where the Coriolis effect is simply too weak to induce a circulation (note that the basins of hurricane genesis do not extend to the equator in Figure 11.2).
		Hurricane Andrew's ferocious winds caused considerable damage in southern Florida, but the brute force of the storm surge, as evidenced in Color Plate 39, was truly remarkable.
		Hurricane Iniki (1992) was such a storm, breaking through these outer defenses and striking the western part of the island of Kauai (see Color Plate 42 taken during landfall) with sustained winds of 210 km/hr (130 mph).

	Tropmet.com - Image Archives - 1965 Hurricane Betsy
		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.

		Climatological studies of the tropics reveal that ignition of hurricane heat engines does not occur within 5ø latitude of the equator, where the Coriolis effect is simply too weak to induce a circulation (note that the basins of hurricane genesis do not extend to the equator in Figure 11.2).
		Although hurricanes and tropical storms, taken as a whole, are responsible for only about 2% of energy transport out of the tropics, they account for as much as 30% of the energy transport during the peak of hurricane season.
		These waves propagate away from the hurricane, eventually organizing into swells that break on distant shores, foretelling the approach of the storm (for example, during hurricane season, surfers flock to the southern shores of Hawaii to ride the big waves generated by storms passing south of the Islands).

		Hurricanes begin as a tropical depression (a low pressure center); if conditions are right, a tropical storm may develop and strengthen until it becomes a hurricane.
		Hurricanes often spawn tornadoes or cause flooding from extensive rains.
		Storm surge heights and associated waves are dependent upon the configuration of the continental shelf (narrow or wide) and the depth of the ocean bottom.

	Remembering Hurricane Gloria--20 Years Later--July 9, 2005
		The powerful hurricane drew national attention, and it marked the first time in my personal memory that the term, Storm of the Century was used.
		As Hurricane Gloria churned up the waters of the North Atlantic from its tropical origins off the African Coast and Cape Verde Islands to its ultimate demise in the Canadian Maritimes, the media began to cover it as the Storm of the Century, a term, which has also been used several times since September, 1985.
		Gloria, which along with Hurricane Elena, had its named retired, was also responsible for some 8 deaths in the United States including one in Long Island, New York, two in Connecticut, two in Rhode Island, and one in New Hampshire.

	Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Hurricanes and Hospital Emergency-Room Visits -- Mississippi, Rhode Island, Connecticut
		In September 1985, Hurricanes Elena and Gloria struck the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts of the United States, respectively, causing injuries, fatalities, and property damage.
		During the hurricane period, both the total number of ER visits and the number of ER visits for trauma were increased, compared to the pre- and posthurricane periods (Figure 3).
		Compared to the posthurricane period, the proportion of total ER visits during the hurricane period was significantly greater in two of the 31 diagnostic categories (corneal abrasion, odds ratio 3.9; bee stings, odds ratio 17.3) and signifi- cantly less in one (psychiatric, odds ratio 0.23) (for all three, p 0.05).

	Remembering Hurricane Elena--20 Years Later--July 10, 2005
		Hurricane Elena was not exactly your classic Cape Verde storm, but it did form during the peak period of the 1985 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
		Within 24 hours, Elena strengthened even further to a Category Two Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale with its maximum sustained winds increasing to 90 knots, or 105 mph while its pressure had steadily dropped from 994 mb, or 29.35 inches of Hg to 974 mb, or 28.76 inches of Hg.
		Elena, now a major hurricane, had by that time moved back to the east, and was threatening the Florida Gulf Coast again.

		Basically the data cover (for various hurricane intensities) storm surge penetration, road inundation, and evacuation requirements; flood (evacuation) and wind damage (contingency) zones for the counties involved are delineated.
		Prior to the hurricane season, decisions should be made as to where the safest place for the vessel would be, the adequacy of the present mooring or dock, and what type of equipment is necessary to have onboard.
		Hurricanes present special problems to the owners of docks, fish houses, and vessels, who must prepare for the storm season as part of normal maintenance.

	HURRICANE ELENA DAMAGE SURVEY: SEPTEMBER 2, 1985 by Timothy P. Marshall
		Hurricane Elena originated from a tropical depression which had traveled westward over the Atlantic Ocean during the last week in August 1985.
		The forward speed of the hurricane was close to 30 mph to the west-northwest direction on August 29, 1985.
		The storm surge was relatively small since Elena had paralleled the coastline minimizing the effectiveness of the coastline, bays and estuaries as a barrier for water to be pushed into.

		To quantify the changes in deep convection in various quadrants of Elena, time series of the percent of area covered by >40 dBZ within 75 km of the center were constructed with respect to both true geography and the direction of vertical wind shear.
		With respect to vertical wind shear, the quadrants are oriented such that the division between quadrants lies along the shear vector, or that “downshear left” represents the 90° wedge counterclockwise from directly downshear to left of the shear vector.
		Again looking at only the time period after 13 UTC, the increase in the coverage of deep convection is initially confined to the upshear left quadrant, with a later increase in coverage in the upshear right quadrant as the convection seems to rotate cyclonically around the storm with time.

		Hurricane Elena, Gulf of Mexico September 1985 Hurricane Elena, with wind speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour (177 kilometers per hour), was photographed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 1, 1985.
		For instance, a number of thunderstorms with their overshooting tops, the spiral bands of numerous thunderstorms leading to the eye of the hurricane, and numerous cloud gravity waves within the spiral bands can be seen.
		Some portions of the eye wall, where the most destructive winds of the storm occur, are also visible.

	Hurricane Elena (1985) Overview
		Hurricane Elena's erratic path over the Gulf of Mexico forced the evacuation of nearly one million people from low-lying coastal areas from Tampa, Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana.
		Three days after Elena made landfall a higher turbidity signal can be seen in the area off Cape St. George, Florida (partially obscured by clouds) as well as in a band of turbid water in Waccasassa Bay, Florida.
		This image is in contrast to other hurricane SST images that depict regional areas of cooling that are more likely due to upper ocean heat loss rather than upwelling.
