Hurricane Floyd



‘What is a hurricane?’ you might ask yourself. A hurricane is a violent storm of the Western North Atlantic and has wind speeds of up to 72 miles per hour. They form when the temperature is at least 26 degrees, as it slowly gets taller it releases latent heat which is a source of energy for a cyclone, there needs to be a lot of moisture in the air, there needs to be a low wind shear because if it had high wind shear the hurricane would break apart and it has to be 500 km away from the equator. The dangers a hurricane poses to human society is that causes a large amount of death, loss of housing, little to eat and billions of dollars in property damages. The people who issue warnings and watches are weathermen who tell us if the hurricane is mild or if its extremely bad you have to take shelter immediately.
Have you ever wondered what categories they place hurricanes and what they call the scale that classifies the devastation of a hurricane? The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane scale classifies the most Western Hemisphere cyclones that range from either “tropical depression” to “tropical storms” wich eventually become hurricanes. Category 1 doesn’t really do much damage to houses and buildings but will do some damage to mobile homes and trees and some flooding. Category 2 would do some damages to houses, the flooding will damage some piers and the boats who aren’t well anchored be damaged. Category 3 there will be minor damage to some houses and buildings, any mobile homes will be completely destroyed, and the flooding would destroy smaller structure but will damage higher structures. Category 4 would destroy the roofs of houses, large erosion areas by the beach. Category 5 is the most devastating hurricane of them all. Houses would be destroyed, building structures would be either blown away or damaged, the flooding would cause extreme damage to all lower floors that are near the shoreline, and people would need to evacuate as soon as possible. Hurricane Floyd was a very strong category 4 and almost had a category 5 rating and was the largest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded.
Hurricane Floyd was formed off the coast of Africa and lasted from September 7th to September 19th and became a category 4 hurricane and almost became a category 5. It struck the Bahamas and caused heavy damage. It went to the East Coast of the U.S which enormous evacuations. Floyd was responsible for 57 deaths and $4.5 billion in damages and this was in North Carolina. While Floyd was crossing the Bahamas it was almost becoming a category 5 for 12 hours and was weakened to a category 3 and was soon had enough strength to become a category 4. As it went through Florida it slowly started to weaken because of all the dry air. As Floyd accelerated to the north it weakened so much that Floyd became a category 2 on September 16. As of the 17th the storm continued to the northeast and later disappeared in Newfoundland
After the devastation of hurricane Floyd came a lot of criticism saying that there was a very slow response. The runoff from the hurricane made problems for North Carolina’s rivers. One major concern was with all the freshwater in the ocean that people were afraid that fish and shrimp would die off killing the fishing and shrimp industries. Amazingly however, both industries were thriving because many marine animals moved to saltier waters so could become less vulnerable to Floyd’s effects. Pollution was also a scare because there were a ton of pesticides in river waters but unlike hurricane Fran the pesticides were lower because Floyd had more rain, which diluted the pesticides making them weaker. Child abuse was also a problem near the hardest hit areas in North Carolina which was probably caused by the aftermath of Floyd which caused parental stress because of all their losses and rebuilding.
The East Coast, Florida and Massachusetts were under a hurricane warning at one point. Even with those specific areas that were mentioned only half actually were hit by hurricane like winds. Hurricane trackers were afraid that Florida was going to be the worse hit with a category 4 hurricane. Because of the warning one million Florida residents were told to evacuate. As the storm went north more people evacuated and caused the largest peacetime evacuations ever in the U.S with 2.6 million evacuating Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas alone.
Hurricane Floyd was the deadliest U.S hurricane since hurricane Agnes. 57 people died and cost 4.5 billion dollars. In the Bahamas 1 person died, in North Carolina 35 people died, in Virginia 3 people died, in Delaware 2 people died, in Pennsylvania 6 people died, in New Jersey 6 people died. In New York 2 people died, in Connecticut I person died and in Vermont one person died as well. In the Bahamas the hurricane knocked out power and communication lines. Abaco Island, Cat Island, San Salvador Island, and Eleuthera Island was where the most damage had occurred where Floyd had uprooted trees and destroyed houses, restaurants, hotels and shops. Despite all the damage Bahamian citizens felt really lucky because only one person died and only a small number of injuries had occurred.
North Carolina received most of the storms impact and had 35 deaths and caused billions in damage. Floyd also created some tornados but only caused minimal damage. 500,000 costumers were left without electricity due to the damage of the power lines. The rainfall and strong winds affected many homes across North Carolina destroying 7,000 houses, due to the storm 17,000 houses were in a state of disrepair and damaged 56,000 houses and made ten thousand people to live in shelters.
