Hurricane Gracie
Hurricane Gracie was a major hurricane that formed in September 1959, the strongest during the 1959 Atlantic hurricane season and the most intense to strike the United States since Hurricane Hazel in 1954.〔National Hurricane Center. (Preliminary Report on Hurricane Gracie: September 22-October 1, 1959. ) Retrieved on 2008-01-07.〕 The system was first noted as an area of thunderstorms east of the Lesser Antilles which moved just north of the Greater Antilles, quickly intensifying into a hurricane on September 22. Gracie was a storm that was very difficult to forecast, with its movement unpredictable.〔Allan Huffman (Hurricane Gracie. ) Retrieved on 2008-01-07.〕 After five days of erratic motion, Gracie became a major hurricane which struck South Carolina, and weakened as it moved up the Appalachians, bringing much needed rain to a drought-plagued region. Much of the destruction related with Gracie was centered on Beaufort, South Carolina. Gracie became an extratropical cyclone on September 30 while moving through the Eastern United States.
==Meteorological history==
An area of squally weather was first noted a few hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles on September 18.〔National Hurricane Center. (San Juan Weather Bureau Weather Bulletin for Press Radio and Television 3 PM September 18 1959. ) Retrieved on 2008-01-07.〕 The convective area organized into a tropical depression near the north coast of Hispaniola on September 20. After moving west-northwestward for a day, it turned northeastward, where upper level winds were very favorable and steering currents were very weak. On September 22 Gracie was named as a tropical depression before it developed into Tropical Storm Gracie,〔National Hurricane Center. (Miami Weather Bureau Advisory Number 1 Tropical Depression Gracie 1030 AM EST September 22 1959. ) Retrieved on 2008-01-07.〕 followed by reaching hurricane strength later that night. It turned to the east on September 25, and turned back west to west-northwest on September 27 as a stable anticyclone built in to its north.〔
Gracie quickly strengthened and reached its peak of winds on September 29, but cooler air and land interaction weakened it to a Category 3 major hurricane at the time of its landfall at 1625 UTC over St. Helena Sound near the south end of Edisto Island in South Carolina.〔National Hurricane Center. (Local Statement from Weather Bureau Charleston South Carolina Hurricane Gracie 12 Noon EST September 29 1959. ) Retrieved on 2008-01-07.〕 After landfall, Gracie moved inland and north and became extratropical on September 30.〔
