Offers Resources and Experts on Floods, Hurricanes and Insurance for Reporters Covering Hurricane Sandy October 26, 2012 IN THIS PRESS RELEASE Top 10 Most Significant Flood Events By National Flood Insurance Program Payouts (1) SHARE THIS EN ESPAÑOL DOWNLOAD TO PDF FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New York Press Office: (212) 346-5500; [email protected] NEW YORK, October 26, 2012 — Hurricane Sandy is predicted to strike the mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states with dangerous winds and heavy rain early next week. That, combined with the potential for a Nor’easter, could result in major flooding. The Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.) has available a variety of resources for reporters covering the insurance-related aspects of the storm. In August of 2011, Hurricane Irene caused $4.3 billion in privately insured losses plus almost $1.3 billion in insured flood losses. In fact, Irene was the fourth costliest flood event in U.S. history.

PASCH NOAA/NWS/Tropical Prediction Center/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 19 July 2002, in ®nal form 9 December 2002) ABSTRACT Activity during the 2001 hurricane season was similar to that of the 2000 season. Fifteen tropical storms developed, with nine becoming hurricanes and four major hurricanes. Two tropical depressions failed to become tropical storms. Similarities to the 2000 season include overall activity much above climatological levels and most of the cyclones occurring over the open Atlantic north of 258N. The overall ``lateness'' of the season was notable, with 11 named storms, including all the hurricanes, forming after 1 September. There were no hurricane landfalls in the United States for the second year in a row. However, the season's tropical cyclones were responsible for 93 deaths, including 41 from Tropical Storm Allison in the United States, and 48 from Hurricanes Iris and Michelle in the Caribbean. 1.

More deadly than Hurricane Alicia (22 lives lost with Allison). Allison caused 43 deaths nationwide. Tropical Storm Claudette holds national rainfall record of 43” in a 24-hour period. Tropical Storm Allison is close behind with 36.99” at the Port of Houston and 29.86” at Thibodaux, LA. TSA Rainfall exceeded 500-year intensity in 2/3 of Harris County’s 22 watersheds. TSA (continued) The maximum rainfall rate recorded in the Greens Bayou watershed was 28.5” in a 10.5 hour period where the PMP is estimated to be 32.5” in a 12 hour period. 73,000 residences and 95,000 automobiles were flooded. Damages exceed $5B. NFIP has paid over 30,000 flood damage claims in Texas and Louisiana for over $1B. Allison flooded portions of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia TSA (continued) The average annual rainfall for Houston is 46.07 inches and the first nine days in June 2001 produced 35.7% of the annual expected rainfall. Thanks to excellent flood forecasting and warning there were no drowning deaths in flooded homes. This is remarkable with over 73,000 flooded homes. The 22 deaths in Houston related to TSA: – 12 driving – 6 walking – 3 electrocutions – 1 elevator TSA (continued) Prior to TSA, the Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) completed over $4 Billion in structural and non-structural flood control projects.

  • Flooding Is Hurricane Season's Real Danger by Basil Housewright, Jr
    Flooding is Hurricane Season's Real Danger By Basil Housewright, Jr. As all eyes turn toward the Gulf of Mexico at the start of the 2013 hurricane season we would like to remind Texans that they should beware of the potential for deadly floodwaters across the entire state. It doesn't take a Class 5 hurricane to paralyze portions of the Texas coastline and inland. Several of the state's worst natural disasters have come from downgraded hurricanes and tropical storms that have stalled over areas of Texas hundreds of miles beyond coastal waters. One of the State's costliest storm was Tropical Storm Allison that dumped nearly two feet of rain over Houston on June 8, 2001. Tropical Storm Allison had actually stalled over Fort Bend county for several hours before moving a little further north and dropped 12 inches of rain causing flooding in areas which many would have thought would never experience flooding. Other tropical storms have stalled over Del Rio, south central Texas and north central Texas dropping record rainfall amounts and causing deadly floodwaters. On August 23, 1998, Tropical Storm Charley stalled over Del Rio. The storm dumped 18 inches of rain on the Texas border city in less than 24 hours. More than 600 homes and businesses in the city of 38,000 were destroyed. Hurricane Alice was tracked more than 300 miles inland before its storm system stalled over Albany creating the state's largest one day rainfall total of 29 inches on August 4, 1978. Tropical Storm Amelia caused little damage when it came ashore on July 30, 1978.

BLAES NOAA/National Weather Service, Raleigh, North Carolina KRISTOPHER D. WHITE NOAA/National Weather Service, Huntsville, Alabama CHRISTOPHER R. HAIN and CHRISTOPHER J. SCHULTZ NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama (Manuscript received 3 April 2020; review completed 6 December 2020) ABSTRACT Several historic rainfall and flooding events associated with Atlantic Basin tropical cyclones have occurred in recent years within the conterminous United States: Hurricane Joaquin (2015) in early October over South Carolina; Hurricane Harvey (2017) in late August over southeastern Texas; Hurricane Florence (2018) in September over North Carolina; and Tropical Storm Imelda (2019) in September, again over southeastern Texas. A common attribute of these events includes a dramatic transition from dry soils to exceptional flooding in a very short time. We use an observations-driven land surface model to measure the response of modeled soil moisture to these tropical cyclone rainfall events and quantify the soil moisture anomalies relative to a daily, county-based model climatology spanning 1981 to 2013. Modeled soil moisture evolution is highlighted, including a comparison of the total column (0-2 m) soil moisture percentiles (derived from analysis values) to the 1981-2013 climatological database.

  • Impacts and Responses
    Impacts and responses This information has been summarised from the Introduction to Tropical Meteorology (2nd Edition) which can be accessed, free of charge, on the MetEd/ COMET website (requires free registration). Introduction Tropical cyclones are the most hazardous tropical weather systems. Their hazards include: . strong winds . storm surge . wind-driven waves . heavy rainfall & flooding . tornadoes . lightning Their Impacts fall into two categories: . Direct impacts result directly from the storm itself, and include coastal erosion by storm surge and loss of infrastructure from wind stress. Indirect impacts occur as a consequence of direct impacts, and include diseases associated with water contamination, oil price increases when drilling platforms and refineries are damaged or closed, and fires started by live, downed power lines. Furthermore, some indirect impacts are longer term, including economic loss from damage to crops and fisheries where livelihoods are dependent on agriculture, post disaster stress, and insurance rate increases. The hazards created by tropical cyclones have a variety of impacts that vary spatially and temporally. Societal and Environmental Impacts Storm Surge and Wind-driven Waves Whenever there was a large loss of life from tropical cyclones, the predominant cause of death was drowning, not wind or windblown objects or structural failures. Globally, storm surge is the deadliest direct TC hazard. A storm surge is a large dome of water, 50 to 100 miles wide, that sweeps across the coast near where a hurricane makes landfall. It can be more than 5 metres deep at its peak (Fig. 1). Figure 1 A conceptual model of storm surge. NOAA The storm surge is created by wind-driven waves resulting from the low-pressure at the centre of the cyclone.

  • Tropical Storm Allison, June 2001
    Tropical Storm Allison, June 2001 RMS Event Report TM Risk Management Solutions S UMMARY Tropical Storm Allison ravaged U.S. coastal areas with torrential rain and flooding for nearly two weeks in June 2001. Initially thought to be only a minor storm, Tropical Storm (TS) Allison caused 50 deaths, with damages topping $6 billion and insured losses of $2.5 billion, becoming the costliest tropical storm in U.S. history. This damage was caused by a storm that at its most intense point had maximum sustained winds of only 57 mph (92 km/hr). Minimum Central Pressure 1002 mb Maximum Wind Speed 57 mph (92 km/hr) Maximum Hourly Rainfall Recorded 5.51 inches (14 cm) Maximum Total Rainfall Recorded 35.7 inches (91 cm) Percent of Average Annual Rainfall (Houston area) 80% Percent of 500-year Rainfall Event (Houston area) 170% (USGS) Table 1. Key storm parameters for Tropical Storm Allison Allison hit Texas harder than any other state, with nearly 90% of the total losses for the storm occurring in the Houston metropolitan area. Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey were also impacted by flood losses. According to the Property Claims Service (PCS) of ISO, states with the largest losses after Texas were Pennsylvania with 9% ($215 million) and Louisiana with less than 3% ($65 million). In the early morning hours of June 9, the storm dropped extreme rains in several critical areas of Houston, and 5-day rainfall measurements of more than 30 inches (76 cm) were recorded across the region.
