	Timeline 1200 to 1299
		The mega hurricane seems to happen on average every 600 years.
		1226 The last mega hurricane struck the gulf coast of Alabama.
		In 1983 Olivier Messiaen premiered his opera “Saint Francis d’Assise.” In 2001 Adrian House authored “Francis of Assisi: A Revolutionary Life;” Valerie Martin authored “Salvation: Scenes From the Life of St. Francis.” In 2002 Donald Spoto authored “Reluctant Saint: The Life of Francis of Assisi.” [see Oct 4]

	A Wind Scale: Beaufort
		The Beaufort Wind Scale categorizes various wind speeds up to hurricane strength (74 miles per hour) and is used in weather forecasting.
		The scale is named after its creator, Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort of the British Navy, who developed it in the early 1800's.
		The 13-point scale, from 0 to 12, defines breezes, gales and hurricane force winds and also gives information on how various wind speeds affect land and sea.

	Fortress Louisbourg
		The hurricane was to leave Holburne's fleet in a vulnerable condition; and, the fact that he got most of it, eventually, back to port, was, a highly creditable piece of seamanship on his part and on the part of his captains and their crews.
		Holburne, was concerned for his fleet and for Halifax thinking it likely that the French navy would swoop down upon them.
		Amongst the first troop sent to the emergent American conflict was the 35th Regiment of Foot, embarking from Plymouth on the 11th April with the Black Watch (42nd Regiment).

	Florida Hurricane Relief
		Hurricane Francis caused damage at two of our churches in Florida, both in the Daytona area on the east side of the state.
		Faith had a 1% rider, which is no big deal.
		A large part of Faith UB church in Port Orange was destroyed.

	BEAUFORT
		Beaufort’s scale culminates in a Force 12 hurricane ‘which no canvas can withstand,’ when the speed of the wind is above 63 knots and the ‘air is filled with foam and spray: sea completely white with driving spray; visibility very seriously affected’.
		Beaufort, an individual Irishman born when we had no navy of our own and were a dependent province of another state, made a contribution of unsurpassed importance to the development of understanding of the sea.
		Beaufort’s insistence on objective accuracy (and perhaps his Irish background?) led to his absolute refusal to allow hydrographic expeditions to be used for the imperialistic purpose of ‘showing the flag’.

	Beaufort scale on Encyclopedia.com
		BEAUFORT SCALE [Beaufort scale] a scale of wind velocity devised (c.1805) by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort of the British navy.
		An adaptation of Beaufort's scale is used by the U.S. National Weather Service; it employs a scale from 0 to 12, representing calm, light air, light breeze, gentle breeze, moderate breeze, fresh breeze, strong breeze, moderate gale, fresh gale, strong gale, whole gale, storm, hurricane.
		Beaufort's original scale was later correlated to wind speed in two different ways.

	Hurricane Hugo
		Hurricane Hugo churned through the same section of the Caribbean as Donna, but had weakened from its peak intensity by the time it smashed the U.S. Virgin Islands on Sept. 17, and then struck a glancing blow to Puerto Rico with winds gusting to 160 mph the next day.
		Hurricane Hugo's impressive intensity made it the strongest storm to strike the East Coast north of Florida since Hazel in Oct. 1954.
		Hugo devastated South Carolina's barrier islands and flattened the Francis Marion National Forest, to the north of Charleston.

	Recommendations for the Rehabilitation of Grand Anse, Grenada, following the Erosion Caused by Hurricane Lenny
		This hurricane was unusual for two reasons: firstly its direction was predominantly from west to east (a once in a century occurrence); secondly its strength was very unusual for so late in the hurricane season (only four other storms reached category 3 or higher strength during the month of November this century).
		November, 1999, Hurricane Lenny moved in a west to east direction across the Caribbean Sea, from an area north of Colombia to the Lesser Antilles.
		This hurricane generated severe swells which affected all the territories bordering the Caribbean Sea: the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, the coast of Venezuela and the Netherlands Antilles (Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao).

	Hurricane Damage to Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) Cavity Trees
		During hurricane Kate, downbursts of wind gusting to 160 km per hour were estimated for Leon County, Florida (Clark 1986).
		Nevertheless, the 25% mortality of cavity trees during autumn 1985 appears to be at least an order of magnitude greater than the mortality expected to occur during the same interval in nonhurricane years.
		In the spring of 1986, Engstrom visually inspected trees in the Wade Tract during a study of hurricane damage to the entire forest.

	Hurricane Francis
		You may think at first that I am nuts for saying a blessing, but, If Charlie had not come when and as it did, the people of Daytona would be scoffing at Frances as they have the other Hurricanes in recent past.
		During Hurricane Charlie, they sent the Tampa and Ocala people to Daytona for them to find out that they would have been missed if they just stayed home, but rather, they came here to find themselves put in harms way.
		Charlie was just a sweep of the area in Daytona compared to what we expect from Frances as it bears down on this area with at least 3 times the force than we got from Charlie.

	BBC - Weather Centre - Weather A-Z - Beaufort Scale By Bill Giles OBE
		A further set of Beaufort numbers from force 13 to force 17 was added by the United States Weather Bureau in 1955 to cope with the exceptional winds that they can get during a hurricane.
		The Beaufort Scale, as it came to be known, was adopted by the Royal Navy in 1838 when it became mandatory for all ship's log entries.
		It was quite a lot later in the century that the Beaufort Scale was adapted for use on the land.

		This means that in counties such as Polk and Hardee, two of the three largest yielding counties in Florida that were hit by both Francis and Charlie, harvest in many groves may not take place at all.
