This report presents the results of a poststorm reconnaissance to determine the extent of flooding caused in Tropical Storm Chris along the Texas-Louisiana coastline in September 1982. This survey covered the coastal area from Sabine Pass, Texas, to Cameron, Louisiana. Tropical Storm Chris made landfall 7 miles east of Sabine Pass at 0600 CDT 11 September 1982. The highest storm-generated surge, in the range of 8.5 to 9 ft, occurred at Peveto Beach, 8 miles east of the point of landfall. Storm-induced flooding west and east of the point of landfall is estimated to have reached 2.8 ft above perdicted tide level 17 miles to the west and 2.5 ft above predicted tide 19 miles to the east. The meteorological history of Tropical Storm Chris is included as an appendix to this report. (Author).
The eye of Hurricane Sally made landfall Sept. 16, 2020, near Gulf Shores, Alabama, immediately west of the Alabama/Florida state line. At landfall, Sally was a strong Category 2 hurricane on the SaffirSimpson hurricane intensity scale, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph and a minimum central pressure of 965 mb (28.50 inches). Hurricane Sally was the first hurricane to effect Pensacola, in west Florida, since hurricanes Ivan (2004) and Dennis (2005). Given that Sally’s strongest winds, waves and storm surge were on the hurricane’s east side, Florida’s northwest coast was substantially affected. Beach erosion and coastal damage was the greatest along Escambia County, while Santa Rosa County eastward through Gulf County received the fringe effect of the hurricane. This report documents the post-storm beach conditions and coastal impact of Hurricane Sally in northwest Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) developed this post-storm beach conditions and damage assessment report to quantify the damages caused by Hurricane Sally. This report provides an assessment of storm impact, beach and dune erosion and structural damages to the northwest coastal regions of Florida fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Although structural damage occurred inland, the damage assessment in this report specifically focuses on damage within the coastal building zone as defined in Chapter 161, Florida Statutes.
The aftermath was almost as devastating as the storm itself. In the ten years since Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, New Orleans has changed drastically, and The Washington Post returns to the region to take the full measure of the city’s long, troubled, inspiring, unfinished comeback. When Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005, it wrenched more than a million people from their homes and forever altered New Orleans—one of the country’s cultural capitals. It reordered the city’s economy and population in ways that are still being felt today. What changed? And what was lost in the intervening decade? Dozens of Washington Post writers and photographers descended on New Orleans when Katrina hit, and many of those same journalists went back for the anniversary. What they found was a thriving city, buttressed by a new $14.5 billion complex of sea walls, levees, pump stations and outfall canals. What they heard was that, while some mourn the loss of the New Orleans’ soul and authenticity, others—who saw a desperate need for improvement even before the storm—welcome the rebuilding of New Orleans into America’s latest tech hub. This insightful, elegiac eBook, then, is both a backward and forward look at New Orleans’ comeback, full of the voices of those who were pushed by Katrina’s winds in directions they never imagined. “The city, on balance, is far better off than before Katrina,” says Jason Berry, a prolific New Orleans author. “But it’s still a break-your-heart kind of town.”
