Hi All,Hurricane season is traditionally from June 1st to November 30th in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. And now that the hurricane season has past - and now that we can breathe a bit easier....we can take a quick look-see at an interesting hurricane related website...Wikipedia has a great article to learn more about the Atlantic Hurricane season.
Click here for a table from Wikipedia which lists the number of hurricanes by year.
But what's really interesting is the link to a site called Long Island Hurricane History.... the site has tables of powerful hurricanes, videos, a list of significant weather events (hurricanes, blizzards, strong wind storms, Nor'Easters, etc), satellite and radar imagery links, historical weather maps, evacuation roots, tidal surge maps and much more on the site. Click on this link for more information about flood zones on Long Island...
Click here for a list of hurricanes and nor'easters on Long Island. Maximum strength, local impact of the event and the year of the event are listed in the table. Note that the table and the information come from Newsday.
Regards - and here's to having a moderately cool and somewhat snowy winter!
