Hurricane Matthew's first strike was its most catastrophic. Matthew was the first Category 4landfall in Haiti since Hurricane Cleo in 1964, coming ashore in the western Tiburon Peninsula near the town of Les Anglais on Oct. 4. This was the worst humanitarian disaster in the impoverished nation since the 2010 earthquake. The United Nations estimated...
Matthew's forecast was hair-raising, given its track near a broad swath of the Southeast U.S. coast. Matthew scraped the Space and First coasts of eastern Florida. The most destructive winds, often over hurricane force, paralleled just off the coast from Cape Canaveral through Northeast Florida and coastal Georgia before Matthew's center finally ca...
Matthew strengthened to a rare Category 5 late on Sept. 30, becoming the first Category 5 Atlantic Basin hurricane since Felix in early September 2007, a record drought. (MORE: Category 5 Hurricanes Prior to Matthew) According to Klotzbach, Matthew became the lowest latitude Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic on record, beating the old record set...
Hermine ended two so-called hurricane droughts in early September. Florida’s record-breaking streak with no hurricane landfalls that lasted more than a decade came to an end when Hermine pushed inland near St. Marks, Florida, early Sept. 1 as a Category 1. Wilma in October 2005 was the last hurricane to make landfall in the state prior to Hermine. ...
Earl ended a span of nearly four years with no hurricane landfalls in the western Caribbean Sea, a swath from roughly Jamaica to the Yucatan Peninsula. That streak-breaking landfall occurred on Aug. 4 when Earl pushed into Belize as a Category 1. Ernesto was the last western Caribbean hurricane landfall prior to Earl, impacting the Yucatan Peninsul...
Hurricane Alex formed before you could even abandon your New Year's resolutions in one of the strangest "starts" to a hurricane season. Alex became just the second hurricane on record to form in the Atlantic Basin during the month of January. The last hurricane that formed in the Atlantic during January was in 1938, according to NOAA's historical h...
Thanksgiving and hurricane landfalls don't belong in the same sentence – until 2016, that is. Hurricane Otto made landfall in southeastern Nicaragua on Nov. 24, intensifying to a Category 3 hurricane in the final 24 hours before landfall. Otto's hurricane landfall was the latest in any calendar year on record in the Atlantic Basin, according to Klo...
Bonnie was the second preseason named storm of 2016, following several months after Alex’s odd January journey near the Azores. Tropical Depression Two developed on May 27, just a handful of days before the official June 1 hurricane season start date. The depression then strengthened into Tropical Storm Bonnie a day later. Bonnie made an ill-timed ...
Twelve of the 15 named storms that roamed the Atlantic basin in 2016 affected land directly in some way. Fiona, Ian and Lisa were the only storms that did not impact land, instead taking a harmless path through the open Atlantic waters. Of the 12 named storms that affected land in 2016, five of them hit the United States. It’s interesting to note t...
While attention was mostly fixed on Matthew, what would eventually become Hurricane Nicole took a weird, meandering path south of Bermuda. Once Matthew's siege on the East Coast was finally over, Nicole was drawn northward and eventually rapidly intensified to a Category 4 hurricane on Oct. 12. Its eye then moved directly over Bermuda as a Category...
