	Hurricane Hattie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hattie swept across the Caribbean and came ashore in the town of Belize City, British Honduras (now Belize), on October 31.
		Hattie held Category 5 intensity on the dates of October 30 and October 31, making it the latest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.
		Hattie damaged Belize City badly enough to force the government to relocate to a new capital further inland: its present location in Belmopan.

		Hurricane Carla had the stronger winds, a Category-5 storm — the seventh strongest in US history — and caused the most monetary damage, $400 million in current dollars, but Hurricane Hattie became a killer storm taking 275 lives, most of them dying near the British Honduras capital, Belize City.
		Hattie came late in the hurricane season, the last of 1961, properly organizing as a storm on October 25 in the waters off Panama.

	Encyclopedia: Hurricane Wilma
		Hurricane Allen, which was the first hurricane given a male name, was the strongest hurricane of the 1980 Atlantic hurricane season and one of the strongest hurricanes in recorded history, with sustained winds reaching a maximum of 190 mph.
		Hurricane Camille was a Category 5 hurricane that struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast region on August 17 and August 18, 1969.
		Though the pressure of a hurricane is the best indicator of its strength since it can be precisely measured whereas winds have to be estimated, it is still important to note that it is actually the difference in the hurricane's pressure and that of its environment that actually gives it its strength.

	Hurricane formation and climate change
		This point is illustrated by the Caribbean: Water temperatures are sufficient for the formation of hurricanes all year, but only in late summer and autumn low shear conditions prevail enabling the formation of hurricanes.
		It is well known that hurricanes mix warm surface waters with cooler water within the thermocline, leaving colder wakes that over a period of weeks are restored to normal conditions by mixing and reheating by the sun.
		The strong sensitivity of tropical cyclone intensity to tropical ocean temperatures in turn implies that the net poleward heat flux by the ocean is sensitive to tropical temperature, reducing tropical climate sensitivity and increasing climate sensitivity at higher latitudes.

		The 2000 Atlantic Hurricane Season will be long remembered for several mid and late season storms that formed throughout the Atlantic Basin along with the devastation caused by Hurricane Keith in October.
		In October, 2000, we had Hurricane Keith, which became the most powerful hurricane of the season to date with sustained winds as high as 145 mph before it made landfall near Belize City.
		The storm took dead aim on the small Central American country of Belize, which was last hit hard by a major hurricane in 1961 when Hurricane Hattie ripped through Belize City, and eventually forced the government there to move its capital city inland to Belmopan.

		He needed to be a magician to wend his way through the intrigue of dealing with Americans of questionable character and to adjust to a society in which the city manager ran a bordello and the police commissioner drove a stolen American car.
		He suggests that Hurricane Hattie may have been, as it were, a watershed in Belize's history, the turning point from the old colonial backwater past to self-government and a move to a new order of politics and business on a wider stage.
		The final laugh of this memorable memoir, this one on Vice Consul Conroy himself, may be that the Belize of the 1950s, with its entertaining eccentrics, bordellos, heavy drinkers, comic politicians, inept diplomats, dope airstrips in the bush, auto-theft rings, and port thieves, is not that much different from the Belize of 1998.
