Hurricanes and Their Paths Across the Atlantic and Caribbean
Hurricanes form from tropical disturbances with air whirling around a low. Once winds reach 74 mph they become hurricanes in the Atlantic or typhoons in the Pacific. Seasonal activity spans May to December in the Caribbean and Gulf, with about 100 disturbances yearly and a dozen becoming tropical storms and roughly half turning into hurricanes. Tracks often move northwest through the Caribbean into the Gulf, then north toward the U.S. coast, or north from the eastern Caribbean toward Florida and the southeastern United States. The deadliest was the 1900 Galveston hurricane, with over 6,000 deaths. costliest was 1972's Agnes with over $2 billion in damage. The most powerful prior to Gilbert was the 1935 hurricane in the Florida Keys with 200 mph winds and a 26.35 barometric pressure.
