This captures both hurricanes Gustav and Ike. [68] Wind gusts in Louisiana peaked at 62 mph (100 km/h), ripping the roofs of mobile homes, downing numerous trees, and toppling power lines across Cameron, Calcasieu, and Vermilion parishes. Preliminary reports suggest it is the . Figure 1: NDBC Stations within 300NM of Hurricane Gustav's Track. [5] WSI, meanwhile, issued their final seasonal outlook on August 27, reaffirming their numbers from the previous month. [32] Ike was the second-costliest hurricane in the Atlantic at the time, but has since dropped to sixth following Sandy, Harvey, Irma, and Maria. The third landfall occurred near Flagler Beach on August 21 and the final southwest of Carrabelle on August 23. On August 24, Julio made landfall in the southern tip of Baja California and quickly weakened, but not before producing heavy rainfall which resulted in locally heavy flooding thus killing two people. . Winds again increased to 130 mph (215 km/h) as Ike moved ashore near Cabo Lucrecia, Cuba. It curved northeast once inland, merging with one cold front over southern New England and a second near Newfoundland. NOAA National Hurricane Center. Current Tropical Atlantic Analysis. The unusual number of storms with impact led to one of the deadliest and destructive seasons in the history of the Atlantic basin, especially with Ike, as its overall damages made it the second-costliest hurricane in the Atlantic at the time, although it would later drop to seventh after hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Ida. [26] Four storms formed before the start of August,[24] and the season also had the earliest known date for three storms to be active on the same day: Hurricane Bertha, and Tropical Storms Cristobal and Dolly were all active on July 20. A northward motion brought the storm over progressively cooler waters on October 1, and it degenerated to a remnant area of low pressure by 12:00 UTC that day. An impinging upper-level trough directed Paloma toward the northeast while enhancing outflow, prompting a period of rapid intensification that brought the storm to its peak as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 145 mph (230 km/h) around 12:00 UTC on November 8, the third strongest November hurricane on record in the Atlantic. Most meteorological organizations rate the intensity of a storm by this figure, so the lower the minimum pressure of the storm, the more intense or "stronger" it is considered to be. 2012 Hurricane Isaac August 28, 2012 . Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport, Texas, on August 25, 2017, as a Category 4 hurricane with wind gusts exceeding 150 miles per hour. TED JACKSON; S. Broad Street, August 29, 2005. Meanwhile, Bertha produced large waves and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast, resulting in 3 deaths offshore New Jersey and 57 water rescues in Atlantic City alone. Throughout the United States Virgin Islands, only the eastern sections of Saint Croix received hurricane-force winds, with tropical storm-force winds in surrounding locales.

SUMMARY The cost of hurricanes is something that we bear as a society . The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image of the storm at noon Central Daylight Time (17:00 UTC). [11], In April, CSU slightly raised their values owing to a favorable Atlantic sea surface temperature configuration during the preceding month, upping the projected numbers to 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes. The low paralleled the coastline of Nicaragua for a few days while associated convection became better organized; this ultimately led to the development of a tropical depression around 12:00 UTC on October 14. September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike, a category 2 on . Major Disaster Declaration declared on August 23, 2021. [18] On July 2, WSI held firm to their April forecast;[19] the organization was forced to slightly increase the number of named storms and hurricanes later that month. From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season is when many of the tropical cyclones formed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2008. Hurricane Hernan became the first major hurricane of 2008 in the Pacific Ocean on August 9 when its max winds reached 194 km/h (121 mph or 105 knots). [105], A tropical wave moved off Africa on September 30 and failed to organize appreciably until reaching the eastern Caribbean Sea on October 9. It moved north amid a favorable environment, becoming Tropical Storm Paloma twelve hours after formation and attaining hurricane intensity by 00:00 UTC on November 7.

This feature organized into Subtropical Storm Laura by 06:00 UTC on September 29 after shedding its frontal boundaries, and it further developed into a fully tropical system on September 30 as deep convection formed over the center. The storm maintained a poorly-organized structure throughout its duration, with the low-level center embedded within a larger gyre and little central thunderstorm activity. Total damage was estimated at $78 million, and five deaths were recorded. Before Hurricane Ivan hit Alabama and northwest Florida, Category 4 Hurricane Charley struck southwest Florida, just west of Ft. Myers, on August 13, 2004. If average activity for August-November, as defined over 1991-2020, occurs over the remainder of the season, that would result in 17 named storms and 7 hurricanes overall. While inland over Lake Okeechobee, Fay developed a well-defined eye and reached peak winds of 70 mph (110 km/h).

A reconnaissance aircraft measured peak winds of 30 mph (45 km/h), and the depression maintained these winds as it made landfall just west of Punta Patuca, Honduras, at 12:30 UTC on October 15. Tropical cyclones include depressions, storms . On nearby Little Cayman, a fewer number of buildings were destroyed while trees and power lines were downed. August 31, 2008 President Bush Attends Briefing on Hurricane Gustav at FEMA Video Audio : August 30, 2008 President's Radio Address Audio In Focus: Economy Statement on Federal Disaster Assistance for Mississippi Statement on Federal Disaster Assistance for Alabama : August 29, 2008 Fay curved north and zigzagged across Florida, making a record four separate landfalls in the state. [58] Moisture from the tropical cyclone became intertwined with an approaching frontal system, producing a maximum rainfall total of 6.5 in (165 mm) in Baccaro, Nova Scotia. Hurricane warnings are up for Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. Coastal locales were inundated by a combination of storm surge, large waves, and high tides, particularly in Shelburne, where streets were flooded. Hurricane Gustav September 1, 2008. Additionally, sea surface temperatures in the deep tropics and the Caribbean Sea were fifth warmest since 1950. Maximum central pressure reached 1007 mbar (29.74 inches). The team will issue seasonal updates of its 2008 Atlantic basin hurricane activity forecast on June 3, Aug. 5, Sept. 2 and Oct. 1. Upper-level conditions were not favorable for development and dissipated on August 16. The system quickly weakened once inland and was downgraded to a tropical depression early on August 6 before degenerating into a remnant low at 06:00 UTC that day. At least 74 deaths were attributed to the hurricane in Haiti, and an additional 2 occurred in the Dominican Republic. [33], Other notable storms included Tropical Storm Fay, which became the first Atlantic tropical cyclone to make landfall in the same U.S. state on 4 occasions; Tropical Storm Marco, the smallest Atlantic tropical cyclone on record;[26] Hurricane Omar, a powerful late-season major hurricane which caused moderate damage to the ABC islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands in mid-October;[45] and Hurricane Paloma, which became the third-strongest November hurricane in recorded history and caused about $454.4 million in damage to the Cayman Islands and Cuba. The effects of strong wind shear mitigated further organization, weakening the storm back to tropical depression intensity by 12:00 UTC on October 13 and causing it to degenerate to a remnant low a day later. [107] Total damage was estimated at $19 million in Saint Kitts and Nevis,[108] $54 million in Antigua and Barbuda,[109] and $2.6 million in Saint Lucia. Heavy rainfall across Massachusetts and Connecticut led to significant flooding. storm surge from Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, caused devastating flooding that inundated New Orleans, Louisiana, and destroyed most structures on the Mississippi coastline.

Gustav. [46] The 211 mph (340 km/h) wind gust, observed at Paso Real de San Diego weather station in Pinar del Río Province, was the second highest wind gust ever recorded on land in a tropical cyclone, behind only Cyclone Olivia's 253 mph (407 km/h) gust on Barrow Island, Australia.

At this time the storm was a category 1 hurricane with sustained winds of 65 knots (75 mph) and a pressure reading of 992 millibars. August and September is hurricane season in the Caribbean and other countries such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic were also badly hit by the quadruple whammy . [23], A well-defined tropical wave left Africa on July 1 and organized into a tropical depression by 06:00 UTC on July 3. Irma was the first Category 5 hurricane of the 2017 season, and is currently the third-most powerful storm to make landfall in the U.S. (behind the Labor Day Hurricane and Hurricane Dorian in 2019). The storm continued northeast through the Anegada Passage and into the central Atlantic. A second upper-level low caused Hanna to conduct a counter-clockwise loop north of Haiti before reaching the western periphery of the subtropical ridge, sending the storm ashore near the North Carolina–South Carolina border at 07:20 UTC on September 6 with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h). Hurricane Gustav has intensified from a Category 2 (110 MPH sustained winds) to a Category 4 (150 MPH sustained winds) in just 12 hours. While run-off ultimately helped replenish Lake Okeechobee and surrounding reservoirs,[78] the immediate impact of the rain event was more destructive. Overall, Paloma inflicted about $300 million in damage there. Cuba also received extensive impacts from Gustav, Ike, and Paloma, with Gustav and Ike making landfall in the country at major hurricane intensity and Paloma being a Category 2 when striking the nation. The messages were sent during the height of the 2008 hurricane season from August 15 though October 15. The cyclone caused a particularly devastating storm surge along the western Gulf Coast of the United States due to in part to its large size. Storm surge and heavy rainfall contributed to flooding, particularly in low-lying locales and across New Hampshire. Earthquakes (July 2008) A magnitude-5.8 earthquake struck just east of Los Angeles on July 29. The depression intensified into Tropical Storm Fay as it struck the coastline of Haiti, and it maintained its status as a minimal tropical storm while progressing through the Cayman Trough and into south-central Cuba. Found inside – Page 31Towards the end of August 2008 a hurricane named Gustav gathered strength from the warm seas in its path north to the USA. Wind speeds of 150 mph were recorded, making it a category 4 storm on the threshold of category 5. An equal proportion of homes were damaged in South Caicos, including over one-third that were significantly damaged or destroyed. The storm was rated a 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricanes which [112] The storm's remnants moved northward into Florida, resulting in a daily rainfall record in Tallahassee and localized heavy rainfall in surrounding locales. Winds just shy of tropical storm intensity damaged the roofs of homes and downed several trees. Fay was the first storm on record to make four landfalls on the state of Florida (or any state). [46][90], While progressing across the Gulf of Mexico, Ike's slow movement and unusually large wind field led to a huge storm surge, upwards of 15–20 ft (4.5–6.1 m), that devastated the Texas coastline. Remember: Storm surge can occur far from where the storm's center goes ashore and outside the envelope of hurricane-force winds. Quakes of that magnitude are considered "moderate" by the U.S. Geological Survey, and . [89] Total damage was estimated at $160 million. [nb 2] The season ranked as the third costliest ever at the time, but has since fallen to ninth costliest. Hernan formed from a low pressure area southwest of Mexico on August 6 and quickly strengthened into a tropical storm. Hernan formed from a low pressure area southwest of Mexico on August 6 and quickly strengthened into a tropical storm. The system began to organize almost immediately after entering the Atlantic, developing into a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on September 2 and intensifying into Tropical Storm Josephine six hours later. [34] The storm caused $210 million in damage across Jamaica and resulted in 15 deaths. [17] Meanwhile, on June 18, the UKMO released their seasonal forecast, assessing a 70 percent probability the number of tropical storms would fall between 10 and 20, with 15 tropical storms noted as the most likely value in 2008. Omar attained hurricane strength around 00:00 UTC on October 15 before ultimately reaching peak winds of 130 mph (215 km/h) a little over a day later shortly after passing near Saint Croix. Tropical vacations should be a time to unwind, and there's nothing relaxing about extreme weather. Hurricane Connie was the first of two back-to-back hurricanes to strike the East Coast in August 1955, causing massive flooding in New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania and New York City (pictured here). [46] Floodwaters cut off several communities as roads were inundated and bridges were swept away. The island of Aruba saw significant flooding from heavy rains. One very unusual feat was a streak of tropical cyclones affecting land, with all but one system impacting land in 2008. Some buildings of lesser construction were severely damaged as well. [24] Despite a La Niña dissipating early in the summer months, atmospheric conditions remained favorable for tropical cyclogenesis, including abnormally low wind shear between 10°N and 20°N. On a northwest course, the cyclone failed to organize initially; however, a more conducive environment in the Gulf of Mexico allowed Dolly to attain hurricane strength by 00:00 UTC on July 23 and reach its peak as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h) twelve hours later. The 2008 hurricane season has already produced 5 named storms, two hurricanes, and one major hurricane. It continued to move northwestward across Texas and dissipated around 00:00 UTC on August 7. [37], At 06:00 UTC on September 1, the season's ninth tropical depression developed from a well-defined tropical wave that left Africa on August 28. Atlantic Tropical Storm Edouard developed in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico on August 3 and made landfall two days later near Port Arthur, Texas as a strong tropical storm.

Phil hanging outside on Main St. during a break Gabe, Max, and Chris hanging out during the break. The CPC, alongside TSR and CSU, highlighted the ongoing multi-decadal period of enhanced Atlantic tropical cyclone activity, the ongoing La Niña in the Pacific, and warmer than average ocean temperatures across the eastern tropical Atlantic as the basis for their predictions. Land interaction prompted structural changes to the storm's core, and Ike only slowly rebounded to an intensity of 110 mph (175 km/h) before its landfall on the northern end of Galveston Island, Texas, early on September 13. After making landfall just north of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, at 00:00 UTC on September 29, Kyle accelerated northeastward.

The system organized as bands of convection coalesced around the center, leading to the formation of a tropical depression around 06:00 UTC on October 12. [32], In Haiti, Ike compounded the flooding disaster imparted by previous storms Fay, Gustav, and Hanna. Further, the absence of an increase in moderate duration tropical storm counts is consistent with expectations from high-resolution dynamical models of a modest (and possibly negative) sensitivity of North Atlantic tropical storm counts to increasing greenhouse gases (e.g., see Bengtsson et al 2007, Knutson et al 2008, FAQ on Knutson et al 2008 . As Harvey moved inland, the forward motion of the storm slowed down and produced tremendous rainfall amounts over southeastern Texas, with 8-day rainfall amounts exceeding 60 inches in some locations,. A range of 12 to 16 named storms, 6 to 9 hurricanes, and 2 to 5 major hurricanes was provided, each with 60 to 70 percent probability. [38][33], A tropical wave entered the Atlantic on August 19, leading to the formation of a tropical depression around 00:00 UTC on August 28 approximately 315 mi (505 km) east-northeast of the northernmost Leeward Islands. [48], Overall, the season's activity was reflected with a total cumulative ACE rating of 146. It hasn't just been in the past year - since 2002, 11 hurricanes have made landfall in Louisiana, including the infamous duo of Katrina and Rita in 2005, and Gustav in 2008. [78], A tropical wave departed Africa on August 13, coalescing into a tropical depression south of Puerto Rico by 00:00 UTC on August 25 and intensifying into Tropical Storm Gustav twelve hours later. Steering currents directed the disturbance into the southwest Atlantic, where a decrease in wind shear led to the formation of a tropical depression by 00:00 UTC on September 25 and organization into Tropical Storm Kyle six hours later. [4] TSR released their final outlook for the season that day, raising their values to 18.2 (±2.9) named storms, 9.7 (±1.7) hurricanes, 4.5 (±1.4) major hurricanes, and an ACE index of 191 (±42) units. Fay had maximum sustained winds of 65 km/hr (35 knots or 40 mph) and a minimum pressure of 986 mb. 10 posts published by steelparade during August 2008. today we performed at Hurricanes Bar and Grill in Huntington Beach, CA. Numerous trees were felled, and downed power lines cut electricity to tens of thousands of homes. Hurricanes (August/September 2008) Learn what you can do to be prepared before a hurricane, what to do during the storm, and how to stay safe in the aftermath. So why was the water still . Near the end of August, a tropical disturbance west of the Windward Islands strengthened into first a tropical depression, then a tropical storm on August 25. The impacts of northerly wind shear initially curtailed intensification; the following day, however, a more favorable environmental regime allowed the storm to attain maximum winds of 65 mph (100 km/h).

Steered by an upper-level high pressure system, the storm moved west-northwest across Florida, emerging into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico and making its fourth Florida landfall on the morning of August 23 near Carrabelle in the Florida panhandle. [99] Kyle produced hurricane-force winds along the southwestern coastline of Nova Scotia that uprooted trees while damaging boats, docks, wharves, and a building under construction. [10] On January 3, 2008, WSI projected 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes, and 3 major hurricanes. [14] On May 22, the NOAA's Climate Prediction Center announced their first seasonal outlook for the 2008 season, highlighting 65 percent odds of an above-normal season, 25 percent odds for a near-normal season, and 10 percent odds of a below-average season. In Texas, the hurricane caused moderate structural damage to the roofs of homes on South Padre Island, where maximum sustained winds of 78 mph (126 km/h), gusting to 107 mph (172 km/h), were recorded. Examining conditions in April and May, the organization compiled a list of hurricane seasons with similar conditions: 1951, 1961, 2000, and 2001.

[64] The remnants of the storm heavy impacted Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, where five homes and a historic church were collapsed and about 2,840 acres (1,150 hectares) of corn and barley were ruined. [48] In mid- to late October, the tropical depression combined with another area of low pressure as well as a cold front to produce torrential rainfall across Central America. Emergency Declaration declared on August 22, 2021. The low ultimately dissipated on September 10. Dozens of residents were injured but no deaths occurred. The post-tropical storm continued northeast and merged with a larger extratropical low near Iceland on July 21. The combination of heavy rainfall and gusty winds resulted in over 2,400 homes being damaged across the Dominican Republic. The 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active Atlantic season on record and also the costliest season on record. A reprieve in upper-level winds allowed Hanna to attain hurricane strength at 18:00 UTC on September 1 and reach peak winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) six hours later. The Forbes methodology is quite different. The first occurred near Key West on August 18 and the second just east of Cape Romano on August 19. Adding auto update features to your AIR application in 3 easy steps Hurricane Gustav made landfall on Cuba first on Isla de la Juventude and later near Los Palacios and continued moving northwestward toward the Gulf of Mexico. [22], The season was devastating for Haiti, where four consecutive tropical cyclones – Fay, Gustav, Hanna, and Ike – killed at least 793 people and caused roughly $1 billion in damage. The highest concentration of damage in the Bahamas occurred on Inagua, where 70–80 percent of houses sustained roof damage, of which approximately 25 percent saw major damage or were destroyed. While the exact death toll is indiscernible due to the quick succession of tropical cyclones,[37] Hanna is believed to have killed at least 529 people in Haiti, most in the commune of Gonaïves, as well as 1 person in the Dominican Republic.
