    FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER DAY-BY-DAY Bartlett C. Hagemeyer JoAnn S. Carney National Weather Service Office Melbourne. Florida November 1995 National Weather Service Southern Region Headquarters Fort Worth, Texas FLORIDA HAZARDOUS WEATHER BY DAY (to 1994) Bartlett C. Hagemeyer JoAnn S. Carney National Weather Service Office Melbourne, Florida 32935 1. Introduction An extensive search of weather records and publications was undertaken to document the occurrence of hazardous weather elements in Florida. The hazardous weather events were then organized with the goal of having at least one event for every day of the year - in other words - a Florida hazardous weather calendar. The authors felt this was a method for a variety of users to better understand, and put into perspective, all the hazardous weather elements Florida is subject to. Initially, brief descriptions of every event that caused a weather-related fatality were included, and any other hazardous weather events that caused significant injuries or property damage, or that was of an unusual nature. Most days of the year were covered in this fashion. To have an event for each day, events that did not cause injury or serious property damage were included on some days. Many days had several major events and several days had only one minor event. In the interest of brevity not all non-fatal events could be included on days with multiple occurrences. There are literally hundreds of minor events that are not included in this document. The authors attempted to include the most significant events. This document concerns short-term hazardous weather events ranging in time from several minutes to several days.

    October 24, 2005 Hurricane Wilma sets a record as the most rapidly expanding storm in the Atlantic by exploding from a tropical storm category to category 5 in 24 hours. Wilma makes landfall near Cape Romano as a major hurricane. The winds of the hurricane leave 98% of South Florida without power. The passage of Wilma results in hundreds of damaged or destroyed homes, with damage reaching $20.6 billion (2005 USD), the third costliest tropical cyclone in United States history. 5 people die in the state as a result th 5 Anniversary of the hurricane. 2010 2005 The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was record-breaking in many categories. It was the busiest Atlantic hurricane season on record with 28 named storms. 2005 also holds the record for the most July hurricanes, earliest Category 3 to hit the U.S, and the most hurricanes for an entire season. This was the first time 4 storms had been named by July 5. In all, the 2005 hurricane season claimed over 3865 lives and did more than 150 billion in damage. Florida experienced impacts from 3 hurricanes (Dennis, Katrina, Wilma) and 3 tropical storms (Arlene, Rita, Tammy). Hurricane volunteers logged more than 4.7 million hours of service and organizations donated over $18 million worth of food, ice, and water during the 2005 hurricane season. June 11, 2005 Tropical Storm Arlene strikes just October 5, 2005 August 25, 2005 west of Pensacola. Damage totals over $3.5 million (2005 USD), and one person dies in Miami Beach from Hurricane Katrina rip currents caused by the storm.

    Climate Variability and Socioeconomic Consequences of Vermont’S Natural Hazards: a Historical Perspective

    Climate Variability and Socioeconomic Consequences of Vermont’s Natural Hazards: A Historical Perspective The climate of Vermont has been described as changeable, with inherent variations. Today, in the face of inherent climate shifts and enhanced greenhouse gas effects, understanding the role of climate variability becomes critical. By Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux ver the last three centuries, Vermonters have lived with, learned from, and come to love the weather and climate Oaround them. In turn, the relentless march of the seasons, each with its own series of weather events, has shaped our activities and the landscape. From the completion of the state’s constitution during a severe thunderstorm in 17771, to the necessity-driven creation of rec- ipes during the January 1998 ice storm, weather and climate have greatly influenced the socioeconomic fabric of our lives. The climate of Vermont has been described as changeable, with in- herent variations. Climate variability refers to the natural fluctua- tions that occur in hydroclimatological variables such as precipita- tion and temperature patterns, storm tracks, and frequency at a number of time scales (annual, decadal, centennial, and even millen- nial). Such naturally occurring variations make it difficult to distin- guish long term trends in the climate record. Our knowledge about the climate around us is ever improving, although actual observa- tions of climatic parameters remain somewhat limited. The interac- tion and inter-relatedness between the weather (i.e., daily tempera- tures, storms, precipitation) and climate (e.g. the recurring patterns of droughts and floods) on human activities and vice versa has long Vermont History 70 (Winter/Spring 2002): 19–39.

U.S History # 1954 - Mount Rainier in Washington State was still covered with sixteen inches of snow at the 5500 foot level following a big snow season. (David Ludlum) # 1985 - A nearly stationary thunderstorm deluged Cheyenne, WY, with rain and hail. Six inches of rain fell in six hours producing the most damaging flash flood of record for the state. Two to five feet of hail covered the ground following the storm, which claimed twelve lives, and caused 65 million dollars property damage. (Storm Data) # 1986 - A powerful thunderstorm produced 100 mph winds and large hail in eastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri causing 71 million dollars damage, and injuring nineteen persons. It was one of the worst thunderstorms of record for Kansas. Crops were mowed to the ground in places and roofs blown off buildings along its path, 150 miles long and 30 miles wide, from near Abilene to southeast of Pittsburg. (The Weather Channel) # 1987 - Record heat gripped parts of the Midwest. A dozen cities reported record high temperatures for the date, including Lincoln, NE, with a reading of 105 degrees, Moline, IL, with an afternoon high of 103 degrees, and Burlington, IA, with a reading of 102 degrees.
