	Historic Hurricanes--Some Of The Most Powerful Storms On Record.
		Hurricane Allen--The first named storm of the 1980 Atlantic Hurricane Season, Allen became a Category Five hurricane on three separate occasions, and is ranked as one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic.
		Hurricane Grace--Contrary to what was said in the movie, The Perfect Storm, Grace was only a Category Two Hurricane, but it would combine with a mid-latitude cyclone to form what would be known as the "Perfect Storm" in Meteorological terms during the final days of October, 1991.
		Hurricane Fabian--A hurricane that last for about a week, and a tropical system that lasted for nearly two weeks, Fabian was a Category Four Hurricane at one point with winds of 145 mph in September, 2003.

		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.

	Dr. Anne Cohen, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
		In the light of recent predictions of increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin, as well as explosive coastal population growth, it is important to determine how these powerful storms could change in response to changes in global climate (Knutson et al.
		One approach is to examine natural cycles in hurricane frequency over several centuries and during times when the world climate was different from that of today.
		Reliable and comprehensive hurricane records are sparse prior to the 1940's, which is too short a time-period to allow analysis of decadal and centennial-scale trends.

	Deaths Associated with Hurricanes Marilyn and Opal -- US, 9-10 1995
		The hurricane passed directly over St. Thomas (1990 population: 48,166) and affected St. John (1990 population: 3504) and St. Croix (1990 population: 50,139) in the USVI, and the islands of Culebra (1990 population: 1542) and Vieques (1990 population: 8602) in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Figure 1).
		Although the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm (i.e., sustained wind speeds of 39-74 mph) soon after landfall, accompanying heavy rains and high winds caused extensive damage as the storm moved northward across southern and northeastern Alabama, through northwestern Georgia, and into North Carolina (Figure 2).
		During Hurricane Marilyn, no deaths directly related to the impact phase of the storm occurred on any of the islands, possibly reflecting the effectiveness of measures to evacuate and shelter the population at risk.

	Surveillance for Injuries and Illnesses and Rapid Health-Needs Assessment Following Hurricanes Marilyn and Opal, ...
		During September 15-16, Hurricane Marilyn struck the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI), passing over St. Croix (1990 population: 50,139) on September 15, with sustained winds of 80 mph, and over St. Thomas (1990 population: 48,166) on September 15-16, with sustained winds of 100 mph and gusts of 125 mph.
		For Hurricane Marilyn, most (93%-99%) respondents reported having drinking water that had been purified, access to a motor vehicle (77%-89%), and having listened to a local radio station (79%-99%) (Table_2).
		The cluster sampling survey method used for hurricanes Marilyn and Opal were based on methods used after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 (4) and provided some of the earliest objective data describing the status of affected populations after the storm.

	Hurricane Marilyn at Culebra Puerto Rico
		Twenty-four hours before Marilyn arrived at St. Croix, a meteorologist with the National Hurricane Center in Miami, being interviewed on a Voice Of America shortwave broadcast, said that Marilyn was "far weaker" than Luis with maximum winds of "only" 80 mph extending out "only" 30 miles from the northeast side of the eye.
		At 5 PM as the eye of Marilyn was near the east end of St. Croix, the airport on the southwest of that island reported winds of 82 to 97 mph.
		Marilyn kept screaming at the top of her lungs for two more hours before showing the least sign of tapering off.

	Summary of the 2003 Atlantic Hurricane Season
		Isabel was the strongest hurricane since 1998, and Juan was the worst hurricane to make landfall near Halifax in over 100 years.
		A hurricane that had the potential to end up on the same level as that Mid-Atlantic hurricane from 1933 was Hurricane Isabel, the most powerful hurricane to develop in the Atlantic since Hurricane Mitch in October, 1998.
		Meanwhile, Kate would be the last hurricane of the season, and it ended up being a major hurricane with 125 mph winds in early October.

	1997 Building Publications - Hurricane Marilyn in the Caribbean: Measured Wind Speeds and Design Wind Speeds Compared.
		Sources of wind speed measurements during this period are described, along with procedures used to adjust these measured speeds to standard conditions, defined for the purposes of this report as the sustained speed (1-minute average) at 10 m above open water.
		It is concluded that the maximum over-water sustained speeds in Hurricane Marilyn were approximately 40 m/s at St. Croix, 46 m/s at St. Thomas, 43 m/s at Culebra, and 26 m/s along the east coast of Puerto Rico.
		In terms of the extreme wind climate for this region of the Caribbean, the maximum over-water sustained speeds at St. Thomas correspond to a mean recurrence interval of about 30 years, or an annual probability of 0.033 of being equalled or exceeded.
