Hazel Moved Inland At A Rapid Rate
Washington weather experts explained that Hurricane Hazel’s inland advance was accelerated by warm tropical energy and high altitude wind currents. The storm’s fast inland motion stemmed from rapid northward acceleration after landfall and energy confined aloft, while officials noted the unusually long overland power of Hazel. The report also notes a drop in U S school districts from 127,529 in 1932 to 66,472 in 1953.
