Hurricane Camille of a 1969

When the storm was about 60 miles [100 km] off the coast of the Persian Gulf, the test plane measured an average wind speed of more than 200 mph, which was much higher than the wind speed of 155 mph required for the storm. 5 levels. The storm reached the coast of Texas. On September 8, 1900, south of Galveston became a Category 4 hurricane, with a massive drop of about 25 to 40 feet [8 to 15 m]. The storm hit the Florida coast with a Category 4 storm and quickly hit the mainland with strong winds.

As the storm approached the west coast of Cuba, it began to intensify, reaching a hurricane, and less than 12 hours later, the wind blew at 110 mph (175 km / h). It grew rapidly and when it reached western Cuba the next day it was a Category 3 storm. Camilla quickly climbed into a Category 2 storm and landed in western Cuba on Friday 15 August with a wind of about 105 mph. When Camilla moved to the Gulf of Mexico, the storm forecast was difficult due to a lack of data.

Early on Friday morning, August 15, Camilla turned into a tiny but powerful northwest hive of water about nine miles [9 km] an hour. At noon on August 15, just 12 hours after the storm, Camilla had turned into a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 185 km / h (115 mph). Camilla followed the NNW route across the Gulf of Mexico and was hit by a Category 5 hurricane on August 16th.

It intensified the next day, with winds of 257 km / h (160 mph) and low pressure of 905 bar, making Camilla the second strongest storm in Atlantic Basin history at the time, second only to Hurricane Nikkei. in 1935. ... On August 17, Camilla reached a moderate solid low pressure of 905 millibars (hPa) and continued to grow until it reached a maximum (possible) wind speed of more than 190 mph (305 km / h). It is the most powerful Atlantic storm in history)). Camilla accelerated from east to northeast and reached a maximum wind speed of 70 mph (110 km / h) when encountering Hurricane Debbie in the southeast (although negative local samples indicate that the storm did not occur. Estimated). After completing the ERC, Camilla was able to withstand a Category 5 hurricane 175 mph 12 hours before arrival.

At the first site of NHC history, Camilla landed at 190 mph, linking the hurricane with Super Typhoon Haiyan (2013 in the Philippines) to provide the unstable winds of any hurricane in human history. However, after carefully reviewing old radar and aircraft data and damage reports, Hurricane Camille Reanalysis estimates that Camille's wind speed at landing was 175 mph. The actual high winds going forward would not be known as the storm destroyed all windmills in the area of the ground touch. In fact, we do not know of many hurricane-force winds during a hurricane because, according to the National Meteorological Service, it "destroyed all wind turbines in the area of the crash site."

But the wind speed along the coast was about 175 miles per hour, and south of Mississippi storms reached 60 miles [100 km] an hour. At the time of arrival, the pressure was estimated at 900 bar, only the second hurricane on Labor Day, which hit the Florida Keys in 1935. In October 2018, Michael became the third most powerful storm to hit the continent. Panhandle with a minimum pressure of 919 bar.

Hurricane Andrew, the second-highest wind speed in U.S. history, has the second-highest wind speed in the world. When passing through South Florida, the wind speed is estimated at 167 mph. The fastest hurricane in U.S. history by the time we arrived. Hurricane Camille in 1969 had a strong current when it reached the Mississippi coast, about 190 miles an hour. On Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center withdrew 150 mph when it arrived in Port Fuljeong, Louisiana. On August 17, 1969, a Category 5 hurricane struck the Gulf Coast, making it the second-largest hurricane to hit the neighboring United States.

The storm was already well distributed and growing rapidly from August 14 to 15, turning into a severe storm at 115 mph (185 km / h) before hitting the western tip of Cuba that day. Despite the slightest calm on August 17, the storm quickly grew into a Category 5 storm and lasted half an hour before midnight in St. Louis. Louis Bay, Mississippi. On September 29, another severe storm, comparable to the August hurricane, struck the coast of Louisiana. A tropical storm turned into a hurricane nearly 97 miles (60 mi) southeast of Pinar del Rio, Cuba.

Camilla intensified in the Gulf of Mexico and descended with a force of 909 mbar (hPa), strong winds of 190 mph (305 km / h), and a height of 24 meters (7.3 m); With continuous high winds, Camilla was the strongest hurricane in the world and one of the four hottest storms in the world, with winds of up to 190 mph. Camilla hit the Mississippi Bay coast as a Category 5 hurricane, accompanied by destructive hurricanes and strong winds that destroyed buildings and gardens.

Upon arrival, Camilla climbed to the east coast and rained 12-20 "high, with a single amount of about 31" over Virginia and West Virginia, with heavy rainfall in just 3-5 hours. As a result, catastrophic floods killed 113 people, bringing Camilla's death toll to 256, making it the 15th hurricane in U.S. history. Hurricane Camilla started as a tropical storm on August 14, 1969, in the western Cayman Islands and gained momentum as we headed for Cuba.

As the storm was the second recorded storm to hit Puerto Rico on St. John's Day. Philips, known as Hurricane San Felipe II (Okeechobee). Hurricane Katrina, considered one of the worst hurricanes in U.S. history, reached phase 5 in August 2005 but climbed to Phase 3 when it hit Louisiana and Mississippi. The worst hurricane in U.S. history was Phase 4 when it struck Galveston, Texas in September 1900 and killed between 6,000 and 12,000 people.

Camilla and 1935 Springs Springs are the only Class 5 hurricanes to hit the United States in this century. Camilla sent the official lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin, a small 905 bar; The only hurricane that hit the United States with low coastal pressure was the 1935 Labor Day storm. Medium pressure of approximately 909 millibars (26.84 in) was recorded in St. Louis Bay, Mississippi, making Camilla the second highest. a hurricane once recorded in the United States.
