Hurricane Flossy (1956) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hurricane Flossy (1956)
Hurricane Flossy originated from a tropical disturbance in the eastern Pacific Ocean and moved across Central America into the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical depression on September 21, 1956, which became a tropical storm on September 22 and a hurricane on September 23. The hurricane peaked with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 km/h) before it struck the central Gulf coast of the United States as a Category 1 hurricane on September 24, and evolved into an extratropical cyclone on September 25.〔National Hurricane Center. (Atlantic Hurricane Database. ) Retrieved on 2008-02-27.〕 It was the first hurricane to affect oil refining in the Gulf of Mexico. The tropical cyclone led to flooding in New Orleans, and broke a drought across the eastern United States. The death toll was 15, and total damages reached $24.8 million (1956 USD).〔W. F. Stokes, Jr. (Remembering Hurricane Flossie. ) Retrieved on 2007-02-01.〕〔 ==Meteorological history==
A tropical disturbance moved northward, crossing Guatemala from the eastern Pacific ocean into the northwest Caribbean Sea between September 20 and September 21. It became a tropical cyclone soon after emerging into the Caribbean, and moved across the Yucatán Peninsula as a tropical depression before becoming a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico on September 22 and a hurricane on September 23. It turned sharply east-northeast across the Mouth of the Mississippi river on September 24 as a minor hurricane.〔Canadian Hurricane Center. (Storms of 1956. ) Retrieved on 2007-02-01.〕 The storm continued east-northeast and made landfall in Florida east of Pensacola. The system evolved into an extratropical cyclone soon after passing out of the Sunshine State and continued moving east to northeast hugging the Atlantic Seaboard to near the Virginia Capes before moving slowly through the shipping lanes between Canada and Bermuda, blocked by a high pressure system in southeast Canada.〔Gordon E. Dunn, Walter R. Davis, and Paul L. Moore. (Hurricane Season of 1956. ) Retrieved on 2007-02-02.〕
