Friday Facts - September Storms
We’ve had several days of dark, stormy clouds racing overhead. That made me wonder whether September was known as a stormy month.
Actually, it is. Here’s a little research I did on the subject.
1. September is the busiest month for tropical activity. The peak usually occurs around September 10.
2. Statistically, there have been more hurricanes in September than in any other month. This is because of the warm surface water temperature and the low wind shear.
3. September averages 2-3 hurricanes in most years, but some years like 2020 had a record number of storms. Historically, most tropical storms and hurricane landfalls happen in early and mid-September, for example, we just had Tropical Storm Eduardo sweep through here this week.
4. On September 2, a hurricane in the Caribbean made first landfall in the Dominican Republic.
5. The storm intensified to a Category 4 with 145 mph winds. Then in the early morning hours of September 9, it made landfall on Galveston Island, south of Houston.
The storm all but leveled the island. There are no firm death count from the Galveston devastation because many people were washed out to sea. Estimated deaths range between 8,000 and 12,000.
I grew up on the Gulf Coast and have known storms all of my life. When I was in my twenties, I moved to Japan and learned all about typhoons. The one thing they both have in common is deadly danger.
One thing I’ve learned is to always be prepared for the unexpected with survival foods, water, flashlights, candles, charged phones, medicines and valuable papers that can be packed in a short amount of time, and a bug-out bag when evacuation becomes necessary.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
Storms can be awe-inspiring and the weather effects can be dramatic and breathtaking, but they should always be respected because the power of nature is greater than any other thing on the planet.
