In southern Florida, the city of Hollywood decided to open the city’s three public parking garages for free to residents living in flood-prone areas, according to. The long-lasting impact of Hurricane Harvey that badly hit Houston, the fourth largest U.S. city, is hard to estimate. But the storm seems one of the costliest.

Hurricane Irene was a large and destructive tropical cyclone, which affected much of the Caribbean and East Coast of the United States during late August 2011. Hurricane Irma barreled through the Caribbean earlier this month, killing at least 38 people in the region and destroying thousands of buildings. Unfortunately, 2017.

Hurricane Irene was a large and destructive tropical cyclone, which affected much of the Caribbean and East Coast of the United States during late August 2. Irene is ranked as the ninth- costliest hurricane in United States history.[2] The ninth named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane of the 2. Atlantic hurricane season, Irene originated from a well- defined Atlantictropical wave that began showing signs of organization east of the Lesser Antilles.

Due to development of atmospheric convection and a closed center of circulation, the system was designated as Tropical Storm Irene on August 2. After intensifying, Irene made landfall in St. Watch Curious George 3: Back To The Jungle Online Hulu there. Croix as a strong tropical storm later that day. Early on August 2. Puerto Rico. While crossing the island, Irene strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane.

The storm paralleled offshore of Hispaniola, continuing to slowly intensify in the process. Shortly before making four landfalls in the Bahamas, Irene peaked as a 1. Category 3 hurricane. Thereafter, the storm slowly leveled off in intensity as it struck the Bahamas and then curved northward after passing east of Grand Bahama. Continuing to weaken, Irene was downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane before making landfall on the Outer Banks of North Carolina on August 2.

United States since Hurricane Ike in 2. Early on the following day, the storm re- emerged into the Atlantic from southeastern Virginia. Although Irene remained a hurricane over water, it weakened to a tropical storm while making yet another landfall in the Little Egg Inlet in southeastern New Jersey on August 2. A few hours later, Irene made its ninth and final landfall in Brooklyn, New York City. Early on August 2.

Irene transitioned into an extratropical cyclone hitting Vermont after remaining inland as a tropical cyclone for less than 1. Throughout its path, Irene caused widespread destruction and at least 5.

Meteorological history[edit]On August 1. African coast, and emerged into the Atlantic, characterized by distinct low- level cyclonic rotation and deep tropical humidity.[6] It remained well- defined while moving steadily westward for several days to the south of the Cape Verde Islands, although at the time any notable convection occurred well to the southwest of its axis.[7] As the wave distanced itself from the islands, development of thunderstorms and showers in its proximity continued to remain scarce, and it became rather broad in appearance.[8] On August 1. The strong thunderstorm activity continued to become more pronounced around the main low- pressure feature. By August 2. 0, the National Hurricane Center noted that tropical cyclone formation was imminent as the wave neared the Lesser Antilles,[1. Tropical Storm Irene at 2. UTC that day.[1. 2]Irene was positioned about 1. Dominica in the Lesser Antilles when it was classified and named, along weakening high pressure over the west- central Atlantic, inducing a roughly west- northwestward path for most of its journey through the eastern Caribbean.[1.

Its mid- level circulation continued to become better established as hints of pronounced banding features curved north of the surface center.[1. On August 2. 1, the surface center reformed closer to the deepest convection; furthermore, an anticyclone aloft provided supportive outflow over the cyclone.

With the improved structure, as well as light wind shear and high sea surface temperatures, Irene was forecast to strengthen to near hurricane force prior to landfall in Hispaniola.[1. Over the subsequent day (August 2. Saint Croix in the U.

S. Virgin Islands,[1. Irene traced toward Puerto Rico, more northward than initially expected, where it underwent a considerable increase in strength and organization.[1. Hours later, Irene moved ashore, approaching from the southeast at landfall near Punta Santiago, Humacao, Puerto Rico, with estimated sustained winds of 7. Watch Good Kill HIGH Quality Definitons.

Despite the storm's interaction with land, radar imagery showed a ragged eye- like feature, and Doppler weather radar data indicated wind speeds in excess of hurricane force. Just after its initial landfall, Irene was accordingly upgraded to a Category 1 hurricane, the first of the 2. Atlantic hurricane season.[1. Loop showing Irene's progress as viewed from the GOES- EAST satellite. With the hurricane then situated just north of the mountainous coast of Hispaniola, the storm deepened little after reemerging over water, and any additional organization during the rest of the day was gradual.[2. After briefly weakening on August 2.

Irene began to develop a distinct eye encircled by an area of deepening convection the next morning. Moving erratically through the southeast Bahamas over very warm waters,[2. Irene quickly expanded as its outflow aloft became very well established; the cyclone intensified into a Category 3 major hurricane as it recurved toward the northwest along a weakness in the subtropical ridge.[2. The cyclone subsequently underwent a partial eyewall replacement cycle, which resulted in some reduction in its winds. Although a distinct eye redeveloped for a few hours, it obscured once again soon thereafter; Irene was unable to recover from the cycle, with no further significant intensification expected thereafter.[2. Hurricane Irene's remnants on August 3. Early on August 2.

Irene further weakened to a Category 1 hurricane as it approached the Outer Banks of North Carolina.[2. At 7: 3. 0 am EDT (1. UTC) the same day, Irene made landfall near Cape Lookout, on North Carolina's Outer Banks, with winds of 8. After having tracked over land for about 1. Irene became cloud- filled, although the center remained well- defined on radar images.[2.

Early in the evening of August 2. Irene re- emerged into the Atlantic near the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia as a marginal Category 1 hurricane, slowly weakening as it continued northward and weakening to a tropical storm early on August 2.

Shortly before sunrise, at 5: 3. EDT (0. 93. 5 UTC) on August 2. Irene made a second landfall at Brigantine in southeastern New Jersey with winds of 7. New Jersey coastline. About 3 1/2 hours later, Tropical Storm Irene made landfall with 6.

Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. Following its final New York landfall, Irene moved northeast over New England while maintaining its strength, before it was declared an extratropical cyclone early on August 2.

New Hampshire/Vermont border.[3] During that day, the system continued to move towards the northeast, before it was absorbed by a frontal system early on August 3. Preparations[edit]Caribbean[edit]In response to the formation of Irene, tropical storm warnings were issued for all of the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico.[3.

Also in the Lesser Antilles, the storm's approach prompted authorities in the U. S. Virgin Islands to close off air- and seaports, as well as to open public shelters.[3.
