  • ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005
    MARCH 2008 ANNUAL SUMMARY 1109 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005 JOHN L. BEVEN II, LIXION A. AVILA,ERIC S. BLAKE,DANIEL P. BROWN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, RICHARD D. KNABB,RICHARD J. PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1. Introduction intervals for all tropical and subtropical cyclones with intensities of 34 kt or greater; Bell et al. 2000), the 2005 By almost all standards of measure, the 2005 Atlantic season had a record value of about 256% of the long- hurricane season was the most active of record.

    PAMLICO SOUND REGIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN SECTION 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS I. INTRODUCTION As part of the Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Hyde, and Pamlico counties hazard mitigation efforts and the preparation of this plan, the five-county region will need to decide on which specific hazards it should focus its attention and resources. To plan for hazards and to reduce losses, the Pamlico Sound Region needs to know: 1) the type of natural hazards that threaten the region, 2) the characteristics of each hazard, 3) the likelihood of occurrence (or probability) of each hazard, 4) the magnitude of the potential hazards, and 5) the possible impacts of the hazards on the community. The following section identifies each hazard that poses an elevated threat to the counties and municipalities located within the Pamlico Sound Region. A rating system that evaluates the potential for occurrence for each identified threat is provided (see Table 39). The following natural hazards were determined to be of concern for the five-county region: 1. Hurricanes 2. Nor’easters 3. Flooding 4. Severe Winter Storms 5. Thunderstorms/Windstorms 6. Tornados 7. Wildfire 8. Earthquakes 9. Dam/Levee Failure 10. Tsunamis 11. Droughts/Heat Waves 12. Coastal Hazards A detailed explanation of these hazards and how they have impacted the five-county region is provided on the following pages. The weather history summaries provided throughout this discussion have been compiled from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as provided through the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). The NCDC compiles monthly reports that track weather events and any financial or life loss associated with a given occurrence.
