1999 Atlantic hurricane season Season summary map First storm formed June 11, 1999 Last storm dissipated November 23, 1999 Strongest storm Floyd – 921 mbar (27.21 inHg), 155 mph (250 km/h) Total storms 12 Hurricanes 8 Major hurricanes 5 Total fatalities 465 Total damage $5.9 billion (1999 USD) Atlantic hurricane seasons There are six lists of names for Atlantic and Pacific storms. The storm then curved westward and weakened over colder SST's, until dissipating on late September 9. Franklin heavily damaged the East Coast with strong winds and affected it twice. It formed the same monsoon trough that Tropical Storm Neil developed from to the east. 1,500 houses were destroyed and $240 million of damage occurred in the province. Select a 1999 Hurricane Model Currently operating under the Nautic Global Group, the Hurricane brand features a product offering of sporty looking deck boats and pontoon-like crafts. As the storm turned northwards under the influence of a subtropical ridge to the east it entered a high shear environment and rapidly degenerated, dissipating on February 19 220 km (140 mi) to the east of Luzon. [49], As the developing depression was crossing the Philippines, it brought heavy showers of up to 400 mm (16 inches), which caused some flooding in the Cagayan Valley[50] Eighteen people were killed in landslides in northern Luzon. [16], Further intensification occurred, and Beatriz became the first major hurricane of the season at 1800 UTC on July 12. Around this time, Cam's motion gradually turned towards the north. Tropical depressions in this basin have the "W" suffix added to their number. As it neared the Vietnamese coast the depression strengthened slightly and became Tropical Storm Eve. On August 9 it turned to the northwest and accelerated before its landfall near Owase the next day, with 45 km/h (30 mph) winds. They are now maintained and updated througha strict procedure by an international committee of the World Meteorological Organization. When hurricanes are particularly destructive, their names are retired from the list of usable names. Maggie passed just to the north of Hong Kong before it turned into the mouth of the Pearl River and dissipated inland on June 8. Storm names. [74] Typhoon Gloria did not approach land closely. By 1200 UTC on August 13, the National Hurricane Center began classifying the system as Tropical Depression Nine-E. Due easterly wind shear, the depression did not further intensify as it moved on a generally west-northwesterly track. [20], A tropical wave crossed Central America between July 28 and July 29, before entering the Pacific Ocean and slowly organizing. [22], Both the JMA and PAGASA considered Neil a tropical storm, with PAGASA naming it Helming. The depression made landfall on Samar Island the same day and moved to the northwest across the central Philippines throughout October 6. [7] The heavy rains damaged or destroyed more than 2,000 homes. The strongest storm on the list was Hurricane Isabel in 2003, a category 5 hurricane with minimum pressure of 915 millibar (mbar). Eugene passed south of the Hawaiian Islands on August 14, with minimal impact noted. Rachel briefly became a minimal tropical storm for a second time as it approached the Japanese island, before it turned to the northwest. Dora continued to intensify despite upper-level wind shear, and became a hurricane on August 8. Hurricane Irene was a hurricane that produced somewhat heavy damage across southern Florida in October 1999. Later that day, the typhoon's motion accelerated to the northeast and it passed 9 km (5.6 mi) to the north of Iwo Jima. [68] Dan was the worst typhoon to hit Xiamen in 46 years, killing five and injuring over 100 in the city. [64], Tropical Depression 26W developed over the Philippine Sea on October 1 about 750 km (470 mi) to the east of Luzon. The compact system intensified as it moved west under the influence of the subtropical ridge to the north, with the JTWC upgrading it to Tropical Storm Tanya early the next day. [5] In the remainder of August, there was a series of short-lived tropical cyclones that did not effect land, including Tropical Depression Nine-E, Tropical Storm Fernanda, and Tropical Depression Eleven-E.[2], During the month of September, the deadliest tropical cyclone of the season, Hurricane Greg, was spawned near the Pacific coast of Mexico. With wind speeds up to 190mph, it … Mergers of such systems rarely occur, it is much more common for tropical cyclones which form in this manner to move independently of the non-tropical system. However, later that day, Hilary weakened back to a tropical storm. Floyd triggered the third largest evacuation in US history (behind Hurricane Gustav and Hurricane Rita, respectively) when 2.6 million coastal residents of five states were ordered from their homes as it approached. Four other people were killed when they drowned in rough seas produced offshore the Mexican coastline. [53], Tropical Storm Zia brought heavy rain to western Japan, which exceeded 500 mm (7.9 inches) in places. Stable air and increasing wind shear caused Irwin to weaken and fall to tropical depression intensity early on October 11. Hurricane Camille was the first hurricane in modern world to bear a person’s name. HERE ARE THE NAMES FOR THE 1999 TROPICAL STORMS AN HURRICANES: NAME PRONUNCIATION NAME PRONUNCIATION ---- ----- ---- ----- ARLENE LENNY BRET MARIA MA-REE-AH CINDY NATE DENNIS OPHELIA O-FEEL-YA EMILY PHILIPPE FE-LEEP FLOYD RITA GERT STAN HARVEY TAMMY IRENE VINCE JOSE HO-ZAY WILMA KATRINA KA-TREE-NA [Mon, 24 May 1999] - What will 1999 bring us? [65], A broad area of convection to the northeast of Mindanao over the Philippine Sea began to develop on October 15 as it moved to the west, becoming Tropical Depression 27W. 8 Signal for the fifth time in the year; the last time this had occurred was in 1964. At least 118 people were killed [47] and over 2,600 people were injured; the province of Wenzhou was significantly impacted by Wendy's effects. This excludes anything except tropical storms (winds between 62 and 117 km/h) and hurricanes (winds above 117 km/h), since lesser storms are not named. [49] Typhoon Bart reached its peak on September 22 with 260 km/h (160 mph) winds when it passed 75 km (47 mi) to the west of Okinawa, becoming the only super typhoon during the 1999 Pacific typhoon season. [10], Both JMA and PAGASA considered Kate to have been a tropical storm at its peak, in both cases considering this the first tropical storm of the season. [61] An additional $5 million (1999 USD) in damage occurred to the Japanese economy. The following names were used during the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season in North Atlantic for systems that reached at least tropical storm intensity. After a strong mid-tropospheric ridge developed over northern Mexico, Irwin moved northwestward and remained offshore Mexico. [23], A tropical wave developed into Tropical Depression Ten-E at 0600 UTC on August 17, while located about 460 miles (740 km) in south-southwest of Socorro Island, Mexico. The NHC does not control the naming of tropical storms. As the cyclone continued to intensify, it became Tropical Storm Sam on August 19. The names of destructive hurricanes are retired. The list of Florida hurricanes from 1975 to 1999 encompasses 83 Atlantic tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida.Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in at least $45 billion (2008 USD) in damage, primarily from Hurricane Andrew.Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for 54 fatalities during the period. September 16, 1999 – Hurricane Floyd strikes near Cape Fear with a 10-foot (3 m) storm surge and wind gusts of up to 122 mph (197 km/h); the hurricane drops heavy rainfall of over 20 inches (500 mm), which causes record-breaking river flooding that is considered a 1 in 500 year event. The National Hurricane Center's Tropical Cyclone Reports contain comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties and damages, and the post-analysis best track (six-hourly positions and intensities). This article talks about the collective list of retired names from Tropical Cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean since official naming began in 1953. The storm entered an increasingly unfavorable environment and rapidly weakened on August 9. [12], The following names were used for named storms in the Pacific in 1999. [2] The final system, Tropical Storm Irwin, produced scattered areas of heavy rainfall over Mexico in October,[12] but caused no significant flooding. Neil made landfall to the southwest of Suncheon the next day as a minimal tropical storm and soon reemerged over the Yellow Sea as a tropical depression. However, the total of six hurricanes and two major hurricanes during the season was near the averages of eight and three, respectively. The depression turned to the west after it emerged into the South China Sea, and turned to the southwest on October 18 in response to increasing mid-level ridging over southeastern China. As Ann approached the Chinese coast to the north of Shanghai on September 18, it reached its peak with 85 km/h (50 mph) winds and began to recurve to the northwest. The JTWC initially forecast that the storm would only intensify slightly, as they predicted it to move north-northeast into an unfavorable environment. At first, it was only female names, but after 1978, they used male and female names alternately. [4], A monsoon depression began to develop between Pohnpei and Chuuk on February 10 as it moved west. Calvin continued west-northwestward as a sheared cyclone. A storm was named Lenny for the first (and only) time in 1999. The lists of hurricane names are chosen by the World Meteorological Organization (not The Old Farmer’s Almanac). [58] Heavy flooding and landslides led to total of a 30 deaths and over 1,000 injuries in Japan. The JTWC issued its last warning while the storm was still at sea, shortly before it made landfall over Hong Kong with 35 km/h (25 mph) winds. [5][17] By this time, however, the depression was already becoming disorganized and dissipated early on the following day. Storm names are retired if they were so deadly or destructive that the future use of the name would be insensitive. Tracks of hurricanes over Florida from 1975 to 1999 The strongest hurricane to hit the state during the time period was Hurricane Andrew, which was one of only four Category 5 hurricanes to strike the United States. [20] At the atoll, Dora produced large waves and wind gusts between 40 and 45 mph (75 and 85 km/h). [38], On August 19, Tropical Depression 17-W formed at a usually high latitude of over 30°N from a westwards moving low pressure area. [35], On August 17, an area of circulation within the monsoon trough located in the Philippine Sea became more organized and the JTWC issued a TCFA. No storms were retired during the season, thus this same list was used again in the 2005 season. By December 11, when the storm was to the south of Vietnam, it became more sheared and the low-level circulation became exposed. Neil caused a fishing boat off the Korean coast to capsize, killing its crew of eight. An area of low pressure just off Palawan became more organized as it moved to the northwest, away from the island, becoming Tropical Depression 31W early on December 1. For example, the six-year cycle of permanent lists began in 1979. A total of 300 mm (12 inches) of rain fell on the territory as York passed directly over it and the resulting floods had a severe effect on agriculture throughout Hong Kong. The depression strengthened further becoming Tropical Storm Zia later that day as it approached Kyūshū. As a result, it is estimated that Tropical Depression Six-E developed at 1800 UTC, while located nearly 1,150 miles (1,850 km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California and about 415 miles (668 km) southwest of Tropical Depression Calvin. The hurricane weakened to a tropical storm at 0000 UTC on July 16, and further to a tropical depression by 1800 UTC that day. [23] There were reports of damage from flooding and winds gusts from Tropical Storm Neil in Japan, with a ferry running aground near Kannoura. Retired Hurricane Names Since 1954. Overall damage was relatively limited, however. As the storm crossed the Date Line, the JTWC assumed responsibility for the storm and downgraded it to a tropical storm on its first advisory. Names have been given to Atlantic hurricanes for a few hundred years. The storm passed over the north of the island on August 20 and entered the South China Sea reaching typhoon strength the next day. Moving towards west-northwestward, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Adrian about 12 hours later. It then became the trend to give hurricanes human names. Andrew, at the time, was the costliest tropical cyclone in United States history. At 0000 UTC on August 18, the cyclone was upgraded to Tropical Storm Fernanda while centered about 520 miles (840 km) southwest of Socorro Island. The deadliest storm to date has been Hurricane Mitch which took 10,000 lives. Any country may request that the name of a hurricane be “… This developed into a tropical depression and moved slowly to the north away from Borneo, becoming Tropical Storm Hilda early on January 6. It continued to move westward through the tropical waters of the Atlantic into the Caribbean. After crossing Kyūshū and western Honshū, the storm accelerated to the northeast in the Sea of Japan, becoming extratropical shortly before it reached northern Hokkaidō. Typhoon Dan reached its peak with 205 km/h (125 mph) early on October 5 and hit northern Luzon at that strength. However, Kate instead moved on a more northerly route and entered an area with minimal wind shear. It continued to deepen, reaching hurricane status late on August 8. [18], A tropical wave that previously crossed the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea reached the eastern Pacific basin until late July. The low level circulation became completely exposed and the weakening system made landfall on southern Luzon on April 10. [23], As the depression passed near Hong Kong, it dropped 31 mm (1.2 inches) of rain on the territory and sustained winds of 72 km/h (45 mph) were recorded on Waglan Island. Nonetheless, it produced up to 2 inches (51 mm) of rainfall on the Big Island of Hawaii. The 1999 Atlantic hurricane season was a hyperactive Atlantic hurricane season, producing 17 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 7 major hurricanes. When Hurricane Floyd hit the coasts of first North Carolina and then Virginia in September 1999, it sent winds whipping up to 130 mph (209 kph) across the storm's 580-mile (988-kilometer) path. PAGASA considered Wendy to have stronger winds than the JTWC, despite the fact that PAGASA uses a 10-minute averaging period to measure sustained winds, which generally results in a lower speed. Kate then began to lose its convection and became an extratropical on April 28 to the northeast of Iwo Jima. The list below only includes human names given to North Atlantic storms. No other tropical cyclones formed in June. Below is a list of retired hurricane names for the Atlantic, the years the hurricanes occurred, and the areas affected since 1950 when the current naming convention was established: Agnes (1972): Florida, Northeast U.S. Alicia (1983): North Texas The JMA considered this storm to have been a tropical depression. On July 21 it began to intensify, becoming Tropical Depression 08W to the northeast of Okinawa. The depression initially moved slowly north-northwestward and strengthened into Tropical Storm Irwin about six hours later. Retired Hurricane Names. However, wind shear exposed the low-level circulation and halted intensification. As it moved to the north-northwest it intensified to its peak with 150 km/h (90 mph) winds as it approached Korea. [33] No storms were retired during the season, thus this same list was used again in the 2005 season. Six hours later at 1800 UTC, Adrian degenerated into a swirl of low clouds while situated 300 mi (480 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. [1] The 1999 Pacific hurricane season was well below average, due to the strong La Niña that was occurring at the time, which causes wind shear to be increased and water temperatures to decrease, resulting in conditions less conductive for tropical cyclones in the East Pacific. On August 2 the JTWC issued a TCFA for the developing disturbance as it moved to the northwest, and it became Tropical Depression 12W the next day. Every hurricane or Atlantic tropical storm is given a name from a list which is maintained by the National Hurricane Center in the USA. The use of easily remembered names greatly reduces confusionwhen two or moretropical storms occur at the same time. Peak sustained winds of 90 km/h (55 mph) were recorded on Waglan Island as Typhoon Leo passed to the south of Hong Kong and the storm dropped over 100 mm (4 inches) of rain on the territory. A soon-to-be-married man encounters an exciting stranger after his plane suffers an accident on takeoff. [18] Maggie also brought rain of up to 100 mm (4 inches) to northern Vietnam, causing some localised flooding. As it moved towards China under a high-level ridge Typhoon Leo rapidly intensified to its peak with 205 km/h (125 mph) winds. [41], Dora became the first storm since 1994's John to have existed in all three Pacific basins, and no significant damage was caused by the system anywhere along its path. Gloria is the last name to use English names in the basin. [19], A tropical wave moved off Africa on July 23 and crossed the Atlantic Ocean without development. The typhoon burst a dike in Kaohsiung and another in Tainan, that had been damaged by the earthquake. If a storm forms in the off-season, it will take the next name in the list based on the current calendar date. Further, 2 of these became major hurricanes, which is Category 3 intensity or higher on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The storm soon weakened due to increasing wind shear and interaction with land, and it dissipated on November 11. PAGASA named the storm Auring. The depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Beatriz at 1200 UTC on July 9. Two people died in the storm and over 500 were injured, 11 seriously. Names can be repeated after an interval of six years, but the names of especially severe storms are permanently retired from use. Dora weakened to a tropical depression on August 22 well to the north of Wake Island and drifted to the north before dissipating the next day. [27], On July 26, a disturbance began to develop at the eastern end of a well-defined monsoon trough well to the east of the Philippines. With Sandra Bullock, Ben Affleck, Maura Tierney, Steve Zahn. The remnants moved northeast into the East China Sea and the system redeveloped into a tropical depression the next day as it approached Okinawa. [36] PAGASA named the developing storm Luding shortly before the JTWC began to issue advisories. Due to the development of an eye feature and large increase in deep convection, Hilary was upgraded to hurricane on September 20, while located about 200 miles (320 km) southwest of the Baja California Peninsula. It gradually developed as it moved to the west, becoming a strong depression with 55 km/h (35 mph) winds. Florida Hurricanes in 1999 . Cindy moved west, west-northwest, then eventually recurved to the northeast, never affecting land. [56], Tropical Depression 24W developed on September 17, to the east of Taiwan. As a result, there was widespread power outages and isolated damage to houses and vehicles, as well as causing several small wildfires. On August 4 the depression became Tropical Storm Paul and began to merge with the gyre from which it had formed. Luis was one of the four tropical cyclones active from August 22 to September 1 along with Humberto, Iris, Jerry, and Karen. The storm drifted to the northwest, becoming Tropical Storm Bart on September 19 and reaching typhoon strength the next day. The season will officially start on June 1 and will end on November 30; these dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Atlantic basin. The influence of a developing ridge to the southeast led to Frankie becoming quasi-stationary over the Sibuyan Sea. Video reuploaded from old channel. Curving towards the west-northwest, Beatriz began to encounter an area of cooler sea surface temperatures, which led to gradual weakening. The depression strengthened slightly to its peak with 55 km/h (35 mph) the next day, before increasing vertical shear took its toll on the system. Hurricane Luis was one of the most powerful storms of the very active 1995 Atlantic hurricane season. [32] This is the same list used in the 1993 season. Hurricane and Tropical Storm names; Names of hurricanes and tropical storms. This is a table of all the storms that have formed in the 1999 Pacific hurricane season. [2], Tropical cyclogenesis began with Hurricane Adrian, which developed on June 18. Below is a complete list of these names as well as the year they were originally designated. [29] The flooding killed ten people. The season produced fourteen tropical cyclones and nine named storms, which was well below the average of sixteen named storms per season; this was largely due to a strong La Niña taking over much of the Pacific. After becoming better organized, the system developed into Tropical Depression Fourteen-E at 1200 UTC on October 8, while situated about 145 miles (233 km) south-southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico. After the cloud pattern consolidated, it is estimated that Tropical Depression Eight-E developed at 0600 UTC on August 6, while located about 975 miles (1,569 km) southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Two oil barges docked in the territory sank, one fully laden with oil which polluted a nearby beach. Retiring hurricane names therefore helps avoid public confusion with another storm of the same name. [37] Sam became the wettest tropical cyclone to affect Hong Kong since records began in 1884, dropping over 616 mm (24.2 inches) of rain, exceeding the previous record set in 1926. PAGASA named the depression Diding soon after it formed and upgraded it to a tropical storm before the JTWC. One person was injured in Macau and 120 incidents related to the storm were reported there. [9][10][11] The other in the month of September was Hurricane Hilary, a storm that approached Baja California, but dissipated offshore on September 21, resulting in no impact. Landfall: Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana on Aug. 28, 2005, then the Lousiana/Mississippi border with winds of … The system continued westward without development until August 11, when convection began to increase. [5], A low pressure area 220 km (140 mi) to the west of Yap developed into a tropical depression on April 6. Damage amounts to over $3 billion (1999 USD, $3.7 billion 2007 USD), with over 7,000 homes destroyed and another 56,000 … For example, one hurricane canbe moving slowly westward in the Gulf of Mexico, while at exactlythe same time another hurricane can be moving rapidly northward alongthe Atlantic coast. Due to vertical wind shear, it did not re-strengthen in the western Pacific basin. Storm names. The naming administration is held by the WMO which assigned the names to each list and decides what names to retire each year as well as their replacement. [33], Tropical Depression 14W formed 120 km (75 mi) to the north of Iwo Jima on August 8. Dora dissipated late on the following day, while situated several hundred miles east of Wake Island. However, it briefly restrengthened into a Category 3 as it passed south of Hawaii on August 16. Only two that gave us any excitement. [6] In addition, 2,000 people were rendered homeless and 2,000 others were affected in some way. After the depression reached its peak with 55 km/h (35 mph) winds it began to accelerate to the west. [40], The JMA also monitored Tanya and made it a severe tropical storm at its peak. Every six years, the lists of names repeat. The depression passed near to the Japanese island and soon strengthened into Tropical Storm Neil. After entering the South China Sea, the system turned more to the west and reached its peak as a 75 km/h (45 mph) tropical storm. [34], For storms that form in the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area of responsibility, encompassing the area between 140°W and the International Date Line, all names are used in a series of four rotating lists. Around that time, Calvin turned northwestward in response to a mid-tropospheric trough. The next system, a short-lived Tropical Depression Three-E, did not result in impact as a tropical cyclone,[2] though the precursor brought heavy rainfall and gusty winds to Central America. [45], Late in August, a broad area of convection developed over a low pressure area in the Philippine Sea to the east of Luzon. The 1998 Atlantic hurricane season was the second deadliest Atlantic hurricane season. As it began merging, Paul strengthened to its peak with 95 km/h (60 mph) winds, to the east of Okinawa. [29], Early in August, a low-level circulation center formed within a monsoon gyre to the southwest of Guam. [15], The sixth tropical depression of the season formed in the monsoon trough to the east of the Philippines on June 1. Dan knocked down a large number of trees on Kinmen, which led to the disruption of 70% of the island's power supply. To recurve through a weakness in the spring of 1999: Georges Mitch.
