    From: Jeff Donnelly [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 4:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Martha's Vineyard and Hurricanes Hi Paul... The current hospital location is relatively safe from hurricanes making landfall to the west of Martha's Vineyard. For example storm surge from the 1938 hurricane at that location was between 4 and 6 feet. The location is much more susceptible to nor'easters. You might get 6 feet of surge associated with an intense nor'easter potentially with some large waves on top of that. However, my biggest concern is if an intense hurricane were to slowly pass to the east of the island. This would result in strong north and northeast winds that could pile significant storm surge and waves into Vineyard Haven Harbor. The October 3, 1841 hurricane was just such a storm. One of the key factors is the forward motion of the storm. If the storm track is to the east of the island and it is moving rapidly the speed of forward motion would be subtracted from the rotary winds of the west side of the storm and the duration of strong winds would be less (a couple of hours or less). If the storm moves slowly the duration of onshore hurricane force winds could be more like 6 to 10 hours. In this scenario the hospital might be in peril. You could get between 10 and 15 feet of storm surge in Vineyard Haven Harbor during such an event. From my read of the topographic map it looks like the hospital is between 10 and 20 feet above sea level.

  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

The firestorm destroyed Hinckley and Sandstone and burned a forest area the size of the Twin City Metropolitan Area. Smoke from the fires brought shipping on Lake Superior to a standstill. 1926 This was perhaps the most intense brief thunderstorm ever in downtown Minneapolis. 1.02 inches of rain fell in six minutes, starting at 2:59pm in the afternoon according to the Minneapolis Weather Bureau. The deluge, accompanied with winds of 42mph, caused visibility to be reduced to a few feet at times and stopped all streetcar and automobile traffic. At second and sixth street in downtown Minneapolis rushing water tore a manhole cover off and a geyser of water spouted 20 feet in the air.

  • Climatology of Tropical Cyclones in New England and Their Impact at the Blue Hill Observatory, 1851-2012
    Climatology of Tropical Cyclones in New England and Their Impact at the Blue Hill Observatory, 1851-2012 Michael J. Iacono Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory Updated September 2013 Introduction Over the past four centuries, extreme hurricanes have occurred in New England at intervals of roughly 150 years, as evidenced by the three powerful storms of 1635, 1815, and 1938. Histories and personal accounts of these infamous hurricanes make for fascinating reading (Ludlum, 1963; Minsinger, 1988), and they serve as an important reminder of the devastating impact that tropical cyclones can have in the Northeast. Most tropical systems in New England are less damaging, but they can still disrupt our daily lives with strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding. This article, which updates an earlier report in the Blue Hill Observatory Bulletin (Iacono, 2001), will describe the climatology of all 250 tropical cyclones that have affected New England since the mid-19th century and will summarize their intensity, frequency, and specific meteorological impact at the Blue Hill Observatory. A hurricane is a self-sustaining atmospheric process in which sunlight, water, and wind combine to transfer energy from the tropics to higher latitudes. The uneven distribution of solar heating at the Earth’s surface ultimately drives much of our weather as the atmosphere continually circulates to equalize the tropical warmth and the polar cold. In the tropics, this process is normally tranquil and slow, brought about through the life cycles of individual thunderstorms, the prevailing winds, and ocean currents. However, under the right conditions very warm air and water in the tropics trigger the formation of the most efficient heat transfer mechanism available to the atmosphere: a hurricane.

  • Aspects of Hurricane Structure: New Model
    MONTHLY - REVIEW VOLUME 92, NUMBER 2 FEBRUARY 4 964 BECBS OF WURRl STRUCUURE: NE SUGGESTED BY AND SWOJECU ERCUWY OBSERVATIO ROBERT W. FETT’ Air Weather Service Member, National Weather Satellite Center, U.S. Weather Bureau, Washington, D.C. ABSTRACT Satellite photographs of hurricanes reveal the complete storm in relationship to its environmcnt. In many instances “outer convective bands” or “pre-hurricane squall lnes” appear to partially “ring” the storm. These bands are usually separated from the rim of thc high cloud shield by a relatively clear channel, visible and distinct for long distances along the circumference. This channel may be formed through the action of a major subsiding branch of the hurricane’s circulation. Many photographs also reveal extensive areas of convective, cirrus-producing cloudiness in the wake of the storm. This cloudiness appears to be intimately associated with that of the hurricane, and strongly influenced by outflow effects. Time cross.section analyses of hurricanes Carla and Anna suggest peripheral subsidence. The area of possible subsidence, in both instances, occurred under an upper shear line, where air diverging in the outflow layer from the hurricane converged with air emanating from the subtropical High. A jet stream, in the case of hurricane Carla, appeared in the region of the subsident annular zone, at the edge of the high cloud shield. This high speed current curved anticyclonically along the northern quadrants of the storm-then, on being directed southward, split into two main branches. The eastern branch curved cyclonically into a trailing vortex, apparent as a cold Low at 200 mb. The western branch continued southward, in alignment with the curvature of cloud streaks forming the cirrus “tail” of hurricane Carla.
