Two Year Anniversary of Hurricane Harvey

 

Hurricane Harvey studies: Yesterday’s 100-year storm is today’s 30-year storm

It's hard to believe it's been two years from Hurricane Harvey, a 2017 Category 4 hurricane.  

Some called it a biblical storm dropping over 40 inches of water in four days.  

While the storm moved generally northwest, Harvey's intensification phase stalled slightly overnight from August 24–25; however, Harvey soon resumed strengthening and quickly became a major hurricane and attained Category 4 intensity later that day.   Hours later, Harvey made landfall at San José Island, Texas, at peak intensity, followed by another landfall at Holiday Beach at Category 3 intensity. Afterwards, rapid weakening ensued, and Harvey had downgraded to a tropical storm as it stalled near the coastline, dropping torrential and unprecedented amounts of rainfall over Texas. On August 28, it emerged back over the Gulf of Mexico, strengthening slightly before making a fifth and final landfall in Louisiana on August 29. As Harvey drifted inland, it quickly weakened again as it became extratropical on September 1, before dissipating two days later.

Harvey was one the costliest tropical cyclones on record, tied with 2005's Hurricane Katrina, as inflicting $125 billion in damage, primarily from catastrophic rainfall-triggered flooding in the Houston metropolitan area and Southeast Texas. Harvey caused at least 107 confirmed deaths: 1 in Guyana and 106 in the United States, the first one in Rockport, Texas. Total damage from the hurricane is estimated at $125 billion (2017 USD), making it among the costliest natural disasters ever in the United States, comparable with Hurricane Katrina in 2005.  Due the extensive damage, the name "Harvey" was retired in April 28 and will not be used for another Atlantic tropical cyclone.
