Hurricane Gloria 1985 – Weather Channel – PART #1 of 5 -
PART 1
Hurricane Gloria hit Long Island, New York on September 27th 1985 at approximately 9am. This was the last Hurricane to directly hit our area, it is now 2007 and 22 years since Gloria, we are long overdue for another like this or greater. This i recorded back in 1985 from the Weather Channel not only the Hurricane hitting Long Island, but broadcasts from weeks before when Glori was nothing but a mass of Thundershowers moving off the African Coast, to the Bildup to a Catergory 5 in the Carribean, to Tropical Storm Henri that hit Long Island 2 days prior to Gloria, to The uncertain landfall of Gloria, to the power going out on my VCR as i lost electricity with the Hurricane over Islip.
The total clip is 40 minutes, i had to break this up into 5 parts to fit, this is part #1.. This will show you where a Long Island bound Hurricane can form & the perfect track this Storm took.. Lucky for Long Island, it struck at a dead low tide & skirting the Outer Banks of North Carolina had helped to diminish the punch that it once had. It is amazing to think that this was 22 years ago & even more amazing that there has been nothing since that was direct. Albeit nothing like the “Long Island Express” of 1938, Hurricane Gloria was a borderline Catergory 2 upon landfal in Seaford, Long Island where the eye passed over.
THERE ARE MORE PARTS TO THIS, PLEASE CHECK MY VIDEOS, I HAD TTO BREAK THIS UP INTO 5 PARTS.

The 2005 Hurricane Season
This animation shows all of the cyclonic activity associated with the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season from June to November. The 2005 hurricane season was a record breaker: the most named storms, three of the six most intense storms on record, the latest forming storm, and the most costly season in property damages. The infrared imagery was captured by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GOES-12 satellite with 4km resolution. Names of all of the tropical storms and hurricanes are included in the animation.

Hurricane season 2008: Meteorologist Dr. William Gray
Grand Bahama Island – An exclusive interview by The Bahamas Weekly News Team with famed hurricane expert, Meteorologist, Dr. William Gray from Colorado State University. Dr. Gray is a keynote speaker at the 12th Annual Bahamas Weather Conference. At this conference, Dr. Gray and his colleague Phil Klotzbach released their predictions for the upcoming hurricane season.
In December, Gray’s group based at Colorado State University, forecast an above-normal season with 13 named storms, seven hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes. A hurricane is considered major when it reaches category 3 status or when winds reach 111 mph.
Wikipedia: William M. “Bill” Gray (born 1929) is a pioneer in the science of forecasting hurricanes. In 1952 he received a B.S. degree in geography from George Washington University, and in 1959 a M.S. in meteorology from the University of Chicago, where he went on to earn a Ph.D. in geophysical sciences in 1964.
Gray pioneered the concept of “seasonal” hurricane forecasting—predicting months in advance the severity of the coming hurricane season. Gray’s prognostications have been issued since 1984 and are used by insurance companies to calculate premiums.
Gray is Emeritus Professor of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University (CSU), and head of the Tropical Meteorology Project at CSU’s Department of Atmospheric Sciences. Gray is noted for his forecasts of Atlantic hurricane season activity.
Gray served as a weather forecaster for the United States Air Force, and as a research assistant in the University of Chicago Department of Meteorology. He joined Colorado State University in 1961. He has been advisor of over 70 Ph.D. and M.S. students. His team has been issuing seasonal hurricane forecasts since 1984.
After the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Gray announced that he was stepping back from the primary authorship of CSU’s tropical cyclone probability forecasts, passing the role to Philip J. Klotzbach. Gray indicated that he would be devoting more time to the issue of global warming. He is a controversial figure in the global warming debate, as he does not subscribe to anthropogenic causes for global warming.

Hurricane Katrina – Miami, Florida – August 25, 2005
This is a sample of my Hurricane Katrina storm chase video. The footage was taken during Katrina’s first landfall on the Southeast Florida coast near Miami. Peak winds occur after the eye and are near 85mph with gusts to 105mph.

Hurricane Storms Thunder Lightning Erin Ike Northern Lights Kitesurf Ohio
Shows Storms and Hurricanes over Ohio
Hurricane/Tropical Storm Erin over Ohio, showing thunder, lightening, mammatus clouds, sailboats, seagulls, bats, geese. Taken around 8-9:30 pm on 07.08.22. Near the center of the first formation shown are cumulous mammatus clouds, which can be associated with tornados. Later someone in the next county sighted a tornado and the Licking County sirens went off according to the 11:00 NBC news. Hurricanes are destructive not only on the coast, their remnants (as shown here) cause much interior damage. In Ohio, as much as 1 foot of rain fell within a few hours in some areas. Severe flooding inundated several places. Several counties were declared disaster areas.
A funnel cloud was reported over the Alum Creek Lake three days after this (while still in the weather pattern) and emergency procedures were activated: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WLV5XWdP7PE Note in the last portion of the video, that before many of the lightening strikes, the clouds could be seen dancing (especially the portion in the center of the cloud formation). Sometimes they became a little brighter. Then there would be a lightening strike.
Video also shows dangerous KiteSurfing during Hurricane Ike. The end of the 65 ft. jump begins at 1:31 (the beginning wasn’t filmed). The portion of the video showing the hurricane begins at :53 and ends at 1:57. Someone just photographed the end of the jump and let us use the film (trip43065 and Ron). Conditions were such that a person could hardly stand up, let alone film.

Hurricane Ike was Ohios worst natural disaster. Although most think of it as a costal disaster, it also hit Ohio. It hit Texas on September 13, and it is considered the the fourth costliest hurricane in US history behind only Katrina, Andrew, and Wilma. It hit Ohio September 14 with winds raging up to 78 mph a Category I hurricane. It is Ohios only hurricane. Much of the damage has yet to be repaired.
While most people stayed inside for safety (as branches and roof material flew by), some were out in the dangerous winds kitesurfing.

“As Ike tracked in a north to north northeast direction inland it maintained tropical characteristics until it reached Arkansas on Sunday, 14 September at which point it dissipated as a significant tropical cyclone and began extra tropical transition. Later that day the remnants of the storm merged with a frontal boundary across the lower Ohio Valley. The presence of a deep low pressure associated with the frontal boundary generated a tight pressure gradient to the south and east of the low as it tracked into northwest Ohio through Sunday evening, creating strong winds with gusts in excess of 70 mph over a large area across the Ohio Valley. The winds also persisted for several hours which is uncharacteristic of typical severe thunderstorm events. Whilst the strongest winds were recorded in Ohio, the effects of Ike’s remnants also spread across Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and Pennsylvania.”
