Hurricane Baker (1950)
Hurricane Baker was a major hurricane that affected the Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, and the Gulf Coast of the United States. The tropical cyclone was the second intense hurricane, second hurricane, and second tropical storm of the 1950 Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricane Baker attained peak winds of 120 mph (195 km/h) near the Leeward Islands, traversed Antigua, and weakened to a tropical depression southwest of Puerto Rico. It re-intensified south of Cuba, strengthened to a strong Category 2 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, and hit the United States near Gulf Shores, Alabama, with winds of 85 mph (140 km/h). Hurricane Baker produced extensive damage in the Lesser Antilles and Cuba, but impacts were minimal in the United States.
==Meteorological history==
On the morning of August 20, a strong tropical storm developed about 446 miles (718 km) east of Basse-Terre, Guadeloupe. The tropical storm deepened to hurricane intensity. On August 21, it rapidly attained maximum sustained winds of 120 mph (195 km/h), equivalent to a Category 3 hurricane. The hurricane passed over Antigua during the evening, while still producing winds of 115 mph (185 km/h).〔 On August 22, it lost intensity and weakened to a tropical storm. On August 23, Baker made landfall near the Puerto Rican town of Guánica as a minimal tropical storm.〔 The highest winds on the island of Puerto Rico were 35–40 mph (55–65 km/h).〔 The storm then degenerated into an easterly tropical wave,〔 and moved west-northwestward over northeastern Hispaniola. On August 24, it re-entered the Atlantic Ocean, and Tropical Depression Baker crossed the coast of eastern Cuba early on the next day.〔
On August 25, Baker redeveloped a center over the Caribbean Sea off southern Cuba,〔 and re-intensified to tropical storm status.〔 On August 27, Baker affected the Pinar del Río Province with 60 mph (75 km/h) winds, and then turned northward over the southern Gulf of Mexico.〔 On August 28, Baker re-strengthened to hurricane intensity; reconnaissance and ship reports〔 suggest the hurricane attained a second peak intensity of 110 mph (175 km/h) on August 30. The minimum central pressure was 979 mbar (28.92 inHg) on this date.〔 The cyclone diminished in intensity prior to landfall.〔 On August 31, the hurricane struck Gulf Shores, Alabama〔 as a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds estimated near 85 mph (140 km/h).〔〔 The estimated central pressure at landfall was 980 mbar (28.95 inHg).〔 Baker moved inland over Alabama and dissipated over southeastern Missouri on September 1.〔
