The fear that cloud seeding could potentially change the course or power of hurricanes and negatively affect people in the storm's path stopped the project.

Hazel was particularly destructive in Toronto, as a result of a combination of a lack of experience in dealing with tropical storms and the storm's unexpected retention of power.

In addition to Halifax Regional Municipality's urban core, the town of Truro and all of rural Colchester County as well as the western part of Pictou County experienced property damage and power outages from falling trees ; numerous barns and other agricultural buildings were damaged east of the storm's path, including a replica of the Hector in Pictou Harbour.

In November 1999, Nevis was hit by Hurricane Lenny, which caused some heavy damage to the island's infrastructure on the western coast, because of the storm's unusual track from west to east.

This was immediately followed by an abrupt weakening, and the storm's maximum sustained winds dropped to later that day.

The storm's most powerful, unofficially recorded gust of wind was reported at Pearl River Community College, at.

One contributor to the intensification was the high oceanic heat content along the storm's path.

Throughout its duration, it was a small tropical cyclone, although with a radius of gale force winds spreading 100 miles ( 160 km ) to the north, the storm's thunderstorm area quickly spread over Cuba.

One of the major problems with the Blizzard of 1978 was the lack of foreknowledge about the storm's severity.

Less severe property damage was recorded west of the storm's track into St. Margarets Bay and Mahone Bay.

The storm's final death toll was 26 ; victims ranged in age from 9 months to 88 years of age.

The telethon featured an appearance by John Goodman, a native of Affton, Missouri who now calls New Orleans home and whose family was actually missing for a time during the storm's peak.

Charley initially was expected to hit further north in Tampa, and caught many Floridians off-guard due to a sudden change in the storm's track as it approached the state.

The storm's greatest impact was the loss of sugar crops in Louisiana.

Upon coming ashore, the storm's eye was about 20 km ( 12 mi ) wide, with gale-force winds within 95 km ( 60 mi ) of the center.

However, the 1991 storm was significantly more destructive, causing 1. 5 billion dollars in damage ( 2 billion inflation-adjusted ) compared to the 1970 storm's 86. 4 million dollars in damage ( inflation-adjusted: 480 million ).

The storm's wrath was widely felt across Scotland, with 19 fatalities reported.

Although damage was severe along coastal southeast Florida, relatively few deaths were reported in those areas ; the storm's deadliest blow was on Lake Okeechobee as the eyewall crossed.

This was the result of the storm's cyclonic motion, a phenomenon rarely seen on the Great Lakes.

The 160 mph ( 260 km / h ) wind measurement from Puerto Rico was taken by a cup anemometer in San Juan, 30 miles ( 50 km ) north of the storm's center, which measured 160 mph ( 260 km / h ) sustained winds three hours before the peak wind speed was reached ; however, the instrument was destroyed soon after and could not be calibrated.

Hurricane-force winds were measured in Guayama for 18 hours ; since the storm is estimated to have been moving at 13 mph ( 21 km / h ), the diameter of the storm's hurricane winds was estimated very roughly to be 234 miles ( 376 km ).< ref name =" mwr-pr "> After leaving the Caribbean, the hurricane moved across the Bahamas as a strong Category 4 hurricane.

The park was also the site of the storm's sole fatality, a Vanderbilt ROTC cadet.

However, reconnaissance data was at times inconsistent and inaccurate, leading to suspicious and unlikely jogs in the storm's track.

The 2003 reanalysis made only minor adjustments to the storm's intensity and track created by Partagás and Diaz, which included moving the point of landfall westward and increasing windspeeds on June 29 based on readings received in Jacksonville, Florida.

The effect of waves, while directly powered by the wind, is distinct from a storm's wind-powered currents.

Most of the locals who worked on the floats and rode on them were significantly affected by the storm's aftermath.

The NHC noted the deterioration could have been due to a disruption of the storm's small inner core by " subtle environmental changes ".

At first, the storm's proximity to Hispaniola prevented further strengthening, but by August 31, it had managed to intensify into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir – Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Contrary to predictions, by late on September 22, the storm had turned northeast, and some residents of Florida were still unaware of the storm's threat despite the issuance of hurricane warnings 24 hours in advance.

According to President Antonio Saca, roughly 23, 000 people evacuated by the storm's arrival.

With Mount Pinatubo having already erupted once by this time, there were fears that the storm's heavy rains, combined with ash from the volcano, would create massive mudflows capable of burying towns 40 km ( 25 mi ) away from Pinatubo.

An unspecified number of deaths were caused by the hurricane, and despite the damage, an August 1911 issue of the Monthly Weather Review described the storm's effects as lighter than expected, estimating total damage in Pensacola at $ 12, 000 ( 1911 USD, $ 280, 000 2011 USD ).

Savannah itself received only minor damage, although the storm's center passed close by.

Although much of the storm's damage was caused by straight-line winds ( see downburst ), several tornadoes were reported.

Further intensification was precluded by the storm's proximity to land and by shear associated with the upper level low near the Baja California peninsula.

The storm's eye is clearly visible, surrounded by the strong storms of the eye ( cyclone ) | eyewall.

Other than debris on the mainline, the biggest problem facing crews working to reopen the line is the damage to the Bayou Boeuf bridge in Morgan City ; the bridge and bridge piers were struck by a barge propelled by the storm's winds and wave action.

In many cases, the only evidence that a hurricane existed was reports from ships in its path, and judging by the direction of winds experienced by ships, and their location in relation to the storm, it is possible to roughly pinpoint the storm's center of circulation for a given point in time.

The storm's path curved back to a northwesterly heading by the October 15.

The bridge and bridge piers were struck by a barge propelled by the storm's winds and wave action.
