**Hurricanes**

**Part II of IV**

In 1900 at Galveston Texas, a hurricane hit the Texas coast resulting in more than 6,000 deaths

In 1969, "Hurricane Camille" produced a storm surge of 25 feet at Pass Christian, Mississippi. Sustained wind speeds were estimated in excess of 200 mph when the storm made landfall.

Hurricane Andrew hit southern Florida August 24, 1992. Resulting in 25 deaths, and $25 billion in damage.

In the Western Pacific we call them Typhoons. In the Indian Ocean they are called Cyclones.

Typhoons are larger and stronger then Atlantic hurricanes for they travel over a larger expanse of warmer water than the Atlantic.

The Hurricane season in the Atlantic is June 1 through Nov. 30th. In the Eastern and Central Pacific the season is from May 15th, through Nov. 30th
