  • The 1993 Superstorm: 15-Year Retrospective
    THE 1993 SUPERSTORM: 15-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE RMS Special Report INTRODUCTION From March 12–14, 1993, a powerful extra-tropical storm descended upon the eastern half of the United States, causing widespread damage from the Gulf Coast to Maine. Spawning tornadoes in Florida and causing record snowfalls across the Appalachian Mountains and Mid-Atlantic states, the storm produced hurricane-force winds and extremely low temperatures throughout the region. Due to the intensity and size of the storm, as well as its far-reaching impacts, it is widely acknowledged in the United States as the ―1993 Superstorm‖ or ―Storm of the Century.‖ During the storm’s formation, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued storm and blizzard warnings two days in advance, allowing the 100 million individuals who were potentially in the storm’s path to prepare. This was the first time the NWS had ever forecast a storm of this magnitude. Yet in spite of the forecasting efforts, about 100 deaths were directly attributed to the storm (NWS, 1994). The storm also caused considerable damage and disruption across the impacted region, leading to the closure of every major airport in the eastern U.S. at one time or another during its duration. Heavy snowfall caused roofs to collapse in Georgia, and the storm left many individuals in the Appalachian Mountains stranded without power. Many others in urban centers were subject to record low temperatures, including -11°F (-24°C) in Syracuse, New York. Overall, economic losses due to wind, ice, snow, freezing temperatures, and tornado damage totaled between $5-6 billion at the time of the event (Lott et al., 2007) with insured losses of close to $2 billion.

  • Great Atlantic Coastal Snowstorms
    Great Atlantic Coastal Snowstorms Capt. John Smith in his general history referred to the extreme cold of the winter of 1607-1608. Details as to the occurrence of snowfall and the duration of cold are missing from the records. But the severity of the first winter is responsible for the deaths of more than half the colony. However, the following winter was warmer than average. During the first years of the New England colonies the winter of 1632 – 1633 stood out for its deep January snows and cold freezing up ponds and rivers in the Boston area. The next winter of note was 1637 – 1638 which also ranked as being severe with snow in Boston area standing 18 inches deep. Beyond the Merrimac River it was said that the snow was 36 inches deep on the level with even greater depths occurring in southern Maine. Early American Winters 1604-1820 by David M. Ludlum p. 32.

Blake Christopher W. Landsea NHC Miami Ethan J. Gibney I.M. Systems Group NCDC Asheville National Weather Service National Hurricane Center Miami, Florida August 2011 PREFACE This version of the Deadliest, Costliest, and Most Intense United States Tropical Cyclones extends the work of Blake et al. (2007) to include 2007-2010 and revised hurricane best track data from the period 1915-1930. In addition, estimates from several storms are updated to correct errors as well as to include a more standardized methodology. In most storms since 1995, estimates of flood damage from the National Flood Insurance Program are included in the total damage estimates for a more realistic total. The technical memorandum also continues the methodology of Pielke et al. (2008) to produce an estimate of the monetary loss that historical hurricanes could exact on the current property-at-risk in the same location.
