[14], The depression emerged into the Gulf of Mexico on August 15 near Tampa, and later turned to the northeast ahead of an upper-level low. Further north, moderate rainfall and winds spread through the Mid-Atlantic states, although no significant damage was reported outside of North Carolina. [25] Edith caused moderate to heavy damage in portions of Louisiana due to flooding and a tornado outbreak from the storm. Edith steadily weakened over land and dissipated over Georgia on September 18. The storm moved ashore on Belize,[4] one of only four November storms to affect the country. On this day September 20 th, in 1971 Hurricane Irene evolves into Hurricane Olivia, becoming the first known system to go through the Atlantic and Pacific. It originated as a tropical depression on September 11, 1971, in the tropical Atlantic. [4][12] In nearby Savannah, Georgia, the rainfall forced about 100 families from their houses in low-lying areas. [6][4], Despite the intensity, the cyclone was not purely tropical; although the radius of maximum winds was only 35 mi (56 km), the thermal structure did not resemble a tropical cyclone, and there was no precipitation or convection near the center. The newly developed cyclone tracked slowly northeastward, eventually encountering conditions favorable for development. Hurricane Fern struck Texas after executing an unusual track, dropping heavy rainfall and producing flooding. Subsequently, dry air became entrained in the circulation, and Olivia began to weaken as it moved over cooler waters. [18] The rainfall led to record-breaking river levels and flooding in several houses, resulting in damage to dozens of houses across the state. An unnamed storm in August attained hurricane status further north than any other Atlantic hurricane. Irene made landfall on southeastern Nicaragua on September 19, and maintained its circulation as it crossed the low-lying terrain of the country. On September 25, the eye became very pronounced on satellite imagery, and based on a report from the Hurricane Hunters, it is estimated Olivia reached peak winds of 115 mph (185 km/h), about 245 miles (395 km) southwest of Manzanillo, Colima. On September 14 Ginger slowed and turned to a general westward track, passing near Bermuda on September 23;[4][6] there, the hurricane produced gusty winds and high waves, but no damage. Shortly thereafter, Beth was swept up by a nearby cold front and transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. It continued northeastward and dissipated on August 7 to the southwest of Greenland. On September 19, the hurricane made landfall in the Nicaraguan South Caribbean Coast Autonomous Region;[4] it was the first tropical cyclone of hurricane intensity since 1911 to strike Nicaragua south of Bluefields. [9] One person was indirectly killed by the hurricane in a traffic accident induced by heavy rainfall. On September 15, shortly after Heidi moved ashore in Maine, it was absorbed by a broad extratropical cyclone over the northern Appalachians. [13] The remnants continued northeastward through the Mid-Atlantic States and New England, crossing into Canada on August 20. The first storm, Arlene, developed on July 4 off the coast of North Carolina. [49], There were three non-developing tropical depressions in September, the first of which just off the coast of Africa on September 3. [2] It existed at a fairly low latitude and failed to intensify due to the unfavorable combination of Hurricane Ginger and a long trough to its northwest. "1971 hurricane season" redirects here. Irene made landfall in Nicaragua and restrengthened as it approached Baja California. [4] The plane dropped silver iodide into the center of Ginger, although there was no effect due to Ginger's large eye and diffuse nature; Ginger was the last seeding done by the project. [33] Damage in the state was estimated at $10 million (1971 USD, $63.1 million 2020 USD). [34] The heavy rains triggered extensive flooding that caused over a dozen fatalities and left thousands of residents homeless in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The rainfall resulted in widespread flooding, killing three people in Rivas. After a June devoid of activity, three tropical depressions developed within the first ten days of July. [4], Tropical Storm Heidi was the last of the four tropical systems to develop from the extended surface trough of low pressure, forming on September 11 northeast of the Bahamas and intensifying into a tropical storm the next day.
In the southwest Caribbean Sea, it intensified to a tropical storm and later a hurricane.
While moving across the state, it dropped heavy rainfall of around 10 in (250 mm) along the west coast.
[10] In Costa Rica, Irene's passage resulted in more than $1 million (USD) in damage to the banana crop. Despite the activity, damage in the United States totaled about $235 million (1971 USD, $1.48 billion 2020 USD), which National Hurricane Center forecaster Paul Hebert noted was "pretty small considering we had five storms in a row strike the U.S."[3] Most of the damage came from Tropical Storm Doria, which affected much of the East Coast of the United States. It made landfall in Louisiana three days later, eventually dissipating over Mississippi. [4][6], The final storm of the season, Laura, formed on November 12 in the western Caribbean Sea, and reached winds of 70 mph (120 km/h) as it approached western Cuba. [18] The storm's moisture also produced locally heavy snowfall in higher elevations in the Rocky Mountains. [4][6], Heidi did not directly cause any fatalities or severe damage. [47], In August, there were two tropical depressions, in addition to the named storms and the notable Tropical Depression Eight. [1] Prior to its arrival, officials noted the potential for the depression to bring flash flooding to northern Venezuela, as well as heavy rainfall to the ABC islands. [9] When it moved ashore, the hurricane produced sustained winds of 46 mph (74 km/h) in Bluefields.
As it approached the western Caribbean, the depression was able to organize more, with less influence from landmass or the trough to its north. It was not named operationally, but it was later added to the Atlantic hurricane database. [3], Tropical Storm Irene gradually intensified as it continued across the southwestern Caribbean Sea. Storms. [19] Moderate damage and rainfall continued along its path into New England and southeastern Canada. [51] Names that were not assigned are marked in gray. It moved quickly north-northeastward, followed by a curve to the northeast. [4], Hurricane Fern was the first of four tropical systems to develop in association with an extended surface trough across the Gulf of Mexico into the open Atlantic, along with Ginger, Heidi, and a strong tropical depression. The circulation became elongated and separated from the convection, and on September 24 the storm weakened to a tropical depression. In neighboring Costa Rica, Hurricane Irene caused more than $1 million (1971 USD, $6.31 million 2020 USD) in damage to the banana crop. Hurricane Edith, the strongest of the season, was a Category 5 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, the highest category on the scale. As it struck Texas, Fern produced strong winds up to 86 mph (138 km/h), along with 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8 m) storm tides and heavy rainfall; the highest precipitation total was 26.0 in (660 mm) in Beeville. [4], In addition to the named storms and otherwise notable cyclones, there were several weak depressions during the season. [17] Tropical Storm Doria dropped heavy precipitation in New Jersey, peaking at 10.29 in (261 mm) in Little Falls. For the Pacific region, see, List of wettest tropical cyclones in Cuba since 1963, "Six Tropical Cyclones At Once in the Pacific Ocean: How Rare Is That? Ginger moved ashore in North Carolina, producing heavy rains and damaging winds. [36], A tropical wave spawned a tropical depression on September 11 about 800 mi (1300 km) east of the Windward Islands.
After reaching peak winds of 85 mph (137 km/h) off the coast of Cape Cod, Beth slightly weakened and later moved ashore near Copper Lake, Nova Scotia. Tropical Storm Arlene; Tropical Depression Two; Tropical Depression Three; Unnamed Hurricane; Tropical Depression Five; Hurricane Beth; Tropical Depression Seven Until 2003, Hurricane Ginger held the record for the longest known duration of a North Atlantic tropical cyclone, lasting 27.25 days from early September to early October; it is currently the second longest-lasting Atlantic hurricane. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical or a wave or low. It moved rapidly southwestward before turning to a northwest drift. It quickly moved ashore, reaching Lake Okeechobee before looping to the northwest. The origins of the hurricane were from a tropical wave that exited the west African coast on September 7. The 1971 Atlantic hurricane season was fairly active with several notable storms. It quickly reached peak winds of 90 mph (140 km/h), but later weakened as it curved to the southwest, moving ashore on September 10 between Freeport and Matagorda, Texas as a tropical storm. [44] Initially, Laura was forecast to move across the island and impact the southern United States, but it executed a small loop and turned to the southwest. The depression accelerated to the northeast, strengthening into a tropical storm on August 5. On August 14, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Beth off the coast of North Carolina, and it quickly strengthened into a hurricane by August 15. [16], Irene–Olivia is unusual in that it survived passage from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean. [14][15] The National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings throughout the region.
Looking back at Hurricane Gustav's record 211 mph wind gust, Global warming and the frequency of intense Atlantic hurricanes: model results. Damage in the United States totaled $25 million (1971 USD, $158 million 2020 USD). After initially moving to the northwest, Heidi curved northeastward and attained its peak intensity of 65 mph (100 km/h) on September 14 off the coast of Virginia. A total of 96 homes were destroyed, and 1,200 people were left homeless. [6] The storm developed in a large region of convection across the Gulf of Mexico and western Atlantic, and for the first nine days of its duration tracked generally east- or northeastward while gradually strengthening to peak winds of 110 mph (175 km/h). [13] Light precipitation was also reported in western Texas and southeastern California. [4] For several days it continued generally westward, gradually losing organization. [24] In Texas high tides caused coastal flooding but little damage.
