    2021 Rio Grande Valley/Deep S. Texas Hurricane Guide

    The Official Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM! weather.gov/rgv A Letter to Residents After more than a decade of near-misses, 2020 reminded the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas that hurricanes are still a force to be reckoned with. Hurricane Hanna cut a swath from Padre Island National Seashore in Kenedy County through much of the Rio Grande Valley in late July, leaving nearly $1 billion in agricultural and property damage it its wake. While many may now think that we’ve paid our dues, that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth! The combination of atmospheric and oceanic patterns favorable for a landfalling hurricane in the Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas region can occur in any season, including this one. Residents can use the experience of Hurricane Hanna in 2020 as a great reminder to be prepared in 2021. Hurricanes bring a multitude of hazards including flooding rain, damaging winds, deadly storm surge, and tornadoes. These destructive forces can displace you from your home for months or years, and there are many recent cases in the United States and territories where this has occurred. Hurricane Harvey (2017), Michael (2018, Florida Panhandle), and Laura (2020, southwest Louisiana) are just three such devastating events. This guide can help you and your family get prepared. Learn what to do before, during and after a storm. Your plan should include preparations for your home or business, gathering supplies, ensuring your insurance is up to date, and planning with your family for an evacuation.

    ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2008*

    MAY 2010 A N N U A L S U M M A R Y 1975 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2008* DANIEL P. BROWN,JOHN L. BEVEN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, AND ERIC S. BLAKE NOAA/NWS/NCEP, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 27 July 2009, in final form 17 September 2009) ABSTRACT The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season is summarized and the year’s tropical cyclones are described. Sixteen named storms formed in 2008. Of these, eight became hurricanes with five of them strengthening into major hurricanes (category 3 or higher on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale). There was also one tropical de- pression that did not attain tropical storm strength. These totals are above the long-term means of 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 major hurricanes. The 2008 Atlantic basin tropical cyclones produced significant impacts from the Greater Antilles to the Turks and Caicos Islands as well as along portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Hurricanes Gustav, Ike, and Paloma hit Cuba, as did Tropical Storm Fay. Haiti was hit by Gustav and adversely affected by heavy rains from Fay, Ike, and Hanna. Paloma struck the Cayman Islands as a major hurricane, while Omar was a major hurricane when it passed near the northern Leeward Islands. Six con- secutive cyclones hit the United States, including Hurricanes Dolly, Gustav, and Ike. The death toll from the Atlantic tropical cyclones is approximately 750. A verification of National Hurricane Center official forecasts during 2008 is also presented. Official track forecasts set records for accuracy at all lead times from 12 to 120 h, and forecast skill was also at record levels for all lead times.

Tropical 1 cyclone activity is reviewed by oceanic basin, covering those that developed in the North Atlantic, Northwest Pacific, Northeast Pacific, North Indian Ocean and Australia. This report includes estimates of the economic and insured losses sus- tained from each cyclone (where possible). Predictions of tropical cyclone activity for the 2009 season are given per oceanic basin when permitted by available data.

    William M. “Buster” Horak William M. “Buster” Horak Born October 25, 1920 Killed in Action November 13, 1943 This document is to honor the life of Buster Horak, who was serving with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific when he died. Buster on Palace Grounds in Honolulu, August 13, 1941 Buster’s sister, Pearl Horak Griggs, with the help of a neighbor for military information, developed the record below in 2000. It was felt appropriate to provide her biography of Buster here, with additional pictures added. Buster survived the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the Battle of Midway on June 4 & 5, 1942, both of which are discussed herein. PREFACE Although many years have passed since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, I recently received information that I previously had no knowledge. I must acknowledge my neighbor, Ed Bravo, who as a former Navy man took it upon himself to search the internet seeking information pertaining to the ships that Buster served on during World War II in the South Pacific. As a result of his effects, he obtained copies of "U.S.S. Maury, The Ship and Her History", "U.S.S. Denver Deck Log Book and War Diary, December 1, 1942 to December 31, 1942," and the "U.S.S. Denver Deck Log Book & War Diary, November 1, 1943 to November 30, 1943". The Log and War Diary were transcribed as a tribute to the 2700 men who served in the ship during her brief career. Mr. Bravo also e-mailed a letter to Paul L.
