2005 Hurricane Season Impacts: Dade & Monroe Counties, Florida 2005 Hurricane Season Impacts: Dade & Monroe Counties, Florida POST-STORM BEACH CONDITIONS AND COASTAL IMPACT REPORT Hurricane Dennis Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Rita Hurricane Wilma Florida Department of Environmental Protection Division of Water Resource Management Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems December 2005 Foreword The Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection is responsible for protection and management of Florida’s sandy beaches fronting the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean and the Straits of Florida, and the regulation of coastal development adjacent to those coastal beaches. The monitoring and assessment of hurricane impacts to Florida’s beaches and coastal construction and the preparation of post-storm recovery responses and management strategies are important elements of the Bureau’s responsibilities. This report provides documentation of the impacts of Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma on the south coast of Florida along Dade and Monroe County beaches. The report also provides preliminary recommendations for post-storm response activities. This report was prepared by the Coastal Engineering Section for the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems. The report was written by Ralph R. Clark, P.E., P.L.S., with major contributions and preparation of graphics by James LaGrone, Coastal Engineer, and additional contributions by Jennifer Koch, Coastal Geologist. Field data of beach and dune erosion and structural damage were obtained by Ralph Clark, James LaGrone, Jennifer Koch, and Guy Weeks. Aerial videography and oblique aerial photography were supplied by Stacey B. Roberts of PBS&J and Camera Copters, Inc.

  • Hurricanes Katrina and Rita – Louisiana's Response And
    HURRICANES KATRINA AND RITA – LOUISIANA’S RESPONSE AND RECOVERY Ray A. Mumphrey, P.E., Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Hossein Ghara, P.E., MBA, Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Baton Rouge, Louisiana KEYWORDS: Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Contra flow, Inundation, Fixed and Movable Bridges, Open Water Bridges, Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority ABSTRACT: Louisiana’s transportation and hurricane protection system took a tremendous blow from two major hurricanes that struck the coast of Louisiana in 2005, hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This presentation will introduce the audience to the transportation infrastructure damage Louisiana experienced as a result of these two storms and will describe how Louisiana is responding to the disasters and our road to recovery. Figure 1 - Hurricanes that hit the coast of Louisiana since 1900 As Louisiana residents, we become accustom to the ever present threat of hurricanes. Refer to figure 1. Much like other parts of the country, which have other natural disasters such as tornados, mud slides, avalanches or earthquakes, we just prepare for the worst, minimize loss of life and property, and thank God when it’s all over. As engineers we know we can always rebuild structures, and possibly restore livelihoods, but loss of life is not replaceable. 2005 STORMS Hurricane Katrina was a category 4 storm when it made landfall on August 29, 2005, along the Louisiana – Mississippi Gulf Coast. The storm was fast moving and provided minimum time for preparation. Refer to figure 2. “Hurricane Katrina was the most destructive hurricane to ever strike the U.S.” NOAA Just as we were getting back on our feet from the impacts of Hurricane Katrina, BAM! We were faced with another storm, Rita.

  • Hurricane Andrew and Insurance: the Enduring Impact of An
    HURRICANE ANDREW AND INSURANCE: THE ENDURING IMPACT OF AN HISTORIC STORM AUGUST 2012 Lynne McChristian Florida Representative, Insurance Information Institute (813) 480-6446 [email protected] Florida Office: Insurance Information Institute, 4775 E. Fowler Avenue, Tampa, FL 33617 INTRODUCTION Hurricane Andrew hit Florida on August 24, 1992, and the tumult for the property insurance market there has not ceased in the 20 years since. Andrew was the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history in terms of insurance payouts to people whose homes, vehicles and businesses were damaged by the storm when it struck Florida and Louisiana in 1992. The insurance claims payout totaled $15.5 billion at the time ($25 billion in 2011 dollars). Even today, the storm is the second costliest natural disaster; Hurricane Katrina, which hit in 2005, is the most costly natural disaster. But the cost is only part of Andrew’s legacy. It also revealed that Florida’s vulnerability to hurricanes had been seriously underestimated. That reality was not lost on other coastal states nor on the insurance industry, which reassessed their exposure to catastrophic storm damage in the aftermath of Andrew. The event brought a harsh awakening and forced individuals, insurers, legislators, insurance regulators and state governments to come to grips with the necessity of preparing both financially and physically for unprecedented natural disasters. Many of the insurance market changes that have occurred nationally over the last two decades can be traced to the wakeup call delivered by Hurricane Andrew. These include: . More carefully managed coastal exposure. Larger role of government in insuring coastal risks.

  • Investigation and Prediction of Hurricane Eyewall
    INVESTIGATION AND PREDICTION OF HURRICANE EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLES By Matthew Sitkowski A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 4/9/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: James P. Kossin, Affiliate Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Daniel J. Vimont, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Steven A. Ackerman, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Jonathan E. Martin, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Gregory J. Tripoli, Professor, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences i Abstract Flight-level aircraft data and microwave imagery are analyzed to investigate hurricane secondary eyewall formation and eyewall replacement cycles (ERCs). This work is motivated to provide forecasters with new guidance for predicting and better understanding the impacts of ERCs. A Bayesian probabilistic model that determines the likelihood of secondary eyewall formation and a subsequent ERC is developed. The model is based on environmental and geostationary satellite features. A climatology of secondary eyewall formation is developed; a 13% chance of secondary eyewall formation exists when a hurricane is located over water, and is also utilized by the model. The model has been installed at the National Hurricane Center and has skill in forecasting secondary eyewall formation out to 48 h. Aircraft reconnaissance data from 24 ERCs are examined to develop a climatology of flight-level structure and intensity changes associated with ERCs. Three phases are identified based on the behavior of the maximum intensity of the hurricane: intensification, weakening and reintensification.
