The 1926 Atlantic hurricane season featured the highest number of major hurricanes at the time. At least eleven tropical cyclones developed during the season. Of these eleven tropical systems, all of them intensified into a tropical storm and eight further strengthened into hurricanes. Six hurricanes deepened into a major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale. The first system, the Nassau hurricane, developed near the Lesser Antilles on August July 22. Moving west-northwest for much of its duration, the storm struck or brush several islands of the Lesser and Greater Antilles. However, the Bahamas later received greater impact. At least 287 deaths and $7.85 million (1926 USD) in damage was attributed to this hurricane. The next cyclone primarily effected mariners in and around the The Maritimes of Canada, with boating accidents and drownings resulting in between 55 and 58 fatalities. In late August, the third hurricane brought widespread impact to the Gulf Coast of the United States, especially Louisiana. Crops and buildings suffered $6 million (1926 USD) in damage and there were 25 people killed. The next three storms left relatively little to no damage on land. The strongest and most damaging storm of the season was Hurricane Seven, nicknamed the Miami hurricane. Peaking as a Category 4 hurricane, the hurricane struck the Bahamas and Florida at a slightly weaker intensity. Much of the Miami metropolitan area was devastated by the storm. Inland, a storm surge on Lake Okeechobee flooded towns such as Clewiston and Moore Haven. The storm was a factor in ending the Florida land boom of the 1920s. Overall, the Miami hurricane resulted in at least 372 deaths and $125 million (1926 USD) in damage. However, adjusted for wealth normalization in 2010, the damage toll would be $164.8 billion – far higher than Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The eight, ninth, and eleventh tropical cyclones left only minor or not impact on land. However, the tenth storm, nicknamed the ''Havana hurricane'', devastated Cuba, the Bahamas, and ships in the vicinity of Bermuda. About 709 deaths were linked to the system, with 600 in Cuba alone. Damage to towns on the island exceeded $100 million (1926 USD). Collectively, the storms of this season left over $267.4 million in damage and at least 1,554 fatalities. ==Season summary== ImageSize = width:800 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:20 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/06/1926 till:01/12/1926 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/06/1926 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TD value:rgb(0.38,0.73,1) legend:Tropical_Depression_(TD)_=_<39_mph_(0–62_km/h) id:TS value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Tropical_Storm_=_39–73_mph_(63–117 km/h) id:C1 value:rgb(1,1,0.80) legend:Category_1_=_74–95_mph_(119–153_km/h) id:C2 value:rgb(1,0.91,0.46) legend:Category_2_=_96–110_mph_(154–177_km/h) id:C3 value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Category_3_=_111–130_mph_(178–208_km/h) id:C4 value:rgb(1,0.56,0.13) legend:Category_4_=_131–155_mph_(209–251_km/h) id:C5 value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Category_5_=_>=156_mph_(>=252_km/h) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:10 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:22/07/1926 till:02/08/1926 color:C4 text:"One (C4)" from:29/07/1926 till:08/08/1926 color:C3 text:"Two (C3)" from:20/08/1926 till:27/08/1926 color:C3 text:"Three (C3)" from:01/09/1926 till:24/09/1926 color:C4 text:"Four (C4)" from:10/09/1926 till:14/09/1926 color:C2 text:"Five (C2)" from:11/09/1926 till:17/09/1926 color:TS text:"Six (TS)" from:11/09/1926 till:22/09/1926 color:C4 text:"Seven (C4)" barset:break from:21/09/1926 till:01/10/1926 color:C2 text:"Eight (C2)" from:03/10/1926 till:05/10/1926 color:TS text:"Nine (TS)" from:14/10/1926 till:28/10/1926 color:C4 text:"Ten (C4)" from:12/11/1926 till:16/11/1926 color:TS text:"Eleven (TS)" bar:Month width:15 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/06/1926 till:01/07/1926 text:June from:01/07/1926 till:01/08/1926 text:July from:01/08/1926 till:01/09/1926 text:August from:01/09/1926 till:01/10/1926 text:September from:01/10/1926 till:01/11/1926 text:October from:01/11/1926 till:01/12/1926 text:November TextData = pos:(570,30) text:"(From the" pos:(617,30) text:"Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale)" The season featured twelve named storms and eight of which strengthened into hurricanes. With six of those storms reaching major hurricane intensity, this was the highest number in a season on record, until being tied in 1933 and 1950 and then being surpassed in 1961.〔 There were several cyclones that brought devastating effects, including the Nassau hurricane, the Louisiana hurricane, the Miami hurricane, and the Bermuda hurricane. Collectively, the storms of this season left over $267.4 million in damage and at least 1,554 fatalities.〔〔〔〔〔〔〔 Tropical cyclogenesis began on July 22 with Nassau hurricane, followed by the second storm on July 29. Only one system, the Louisiana hurricane, developed in the month of August. September was much more active, featuring the forth, fifth, six, seventh (Miami hurricane), and eighth storms of the season. On September 17, four tropical cyclones existed simultaneously in the Atlantic Ocean,〔〔 three of which, in a rare occurrence, were then hurricanes; three hurricanes have only twice been active at the same time in the Atlantic Ocean, on both August 22, 1893, and September 25–27, 1998.〔 The Miami hurricane was the most intense tropical cyclone of the season, peaking as a Category 4 hurricane on the modern-day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale with a minimum barometric pressure of . In October, the ninth and tenth (Bermuda hurricane) storms formed. One final tropical cyclone formed in November and existed until November 16. The season's activity was reflected with an accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) rating of 230, the forth highest value on record, behind only the 1893, 2005, and 1933 seasons. ACE is, broadly speaking, a measure of the power of the hurricane multiplied by the length of time it existed, so storms that last a long time, such as the forth hurricane, as well as particularly strong hurricanes, such as the Miami hurricane and Bermuda hurricane, have high ACEs. It is only calculated for full advisories on tropical systems at or exceeding 39 mph (63 km/h), which is tropical storm strength. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1926 Atlantic hurricane season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
