Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tropical cyclones (TCs) pose a persistent threat to North Carolina. The state's coastal plain and outer banks lie between 78 and 75 degrees W, farther east than any other southeastern state. In the last 150 years there have been more than 400 tropical and subtropical cyclones that have affected the state. This project seeks to examine what has become a recurring problem. The storms come, they flood, and the most vulnerable members of society lose everything. Major research questions include: 1) How do the geographic extent of the individual floods compare to the 100-year floodplain and its margins? 2) How many buildings fell within the flooded area? 3) How do the individual floods compare to one another, and what factors explain their differences? The methodology for this study used NASA Landsat 5 and NOAA aerial imagery to examine the extent of the flooded area. Supervised and unsupervised land cover classifications were created to compare the floods on a pixel-by-pixel level. Key results from this study included the number of total buildings in the study area that had been flooded in any one or all of the TCs, the observation that TC Matthew was by far the most disastrous of the three TCs studied, and that both TCs Matthew and Florence met or exceeded the defined 100-year floodplain in the area of study. Although this study is limited in scope, it may provide a stepping stone to further examination of how best to deal with the new reality of 100-year floods every decade in a socially vulnerable urban landscape."--Abstract from author supplied metadata

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is a compilation of the tropical cyclones for which historical information could be found that have struck North Carolina, had any effect on the state, or passed close enough offshore to have been a serious threat to the coastal area during the period from 1586 through the 2005 hurricane season. The decision as to whether some early storms met these criteria was made rather subjectively, since information as to both path and effects was incomplete and highly variable"--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative and engaging book tells the true stories of the hurricanes that had the greatest impact on North Carolina and South Carolina, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Hurricane historian Jay Barnes offers an illuminating and compelling account of the Carolinas' most recent storm disasters, Matthew and Florence, as well as thirteen other memorable hurricanes in the Tar Heel and Palmetto States, including Hazel, Hugo, Fran, and Floyd. In Barnes's hands, the examination of these powerful tropical cyclones leads to a broader view of the history of the Carolinas, revealing not only their terrifying and deadly consequences but also the perseverance of the region's people in the face of such extraordinary disasters. In recounting the rich hurricane history of the Carolinas, from the mountains to the coast, Barnes urges readers to consider the storms to come and profiles how a warming planet and rising seas will affect future Carolina hurricanes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous tropical cyclone risk assessment studies have been national in scope. This study demonstrates the need for regional risk assessments, using the tropical cyclone history of North Carolina as an example. The standard normalization procedure for historical damage data was reevaluated. A housing factor was used instead of the more conventional population factor to go along with inflation and changes in wealth. For coastal counties in North Carolina, housing figures from 1940-2000 increased 780% while population figures increased only 370%. It is believed that use of housing data in lieu of population data in the normalization procedure provides a more realistic measure of impact. Using the new normalization method, 1954-55 tropical cyclone storm totals in North Carolina added together would have caused over $18 billion in damage (expressed in 2000 dollars). By comparison, the destructive period from 1996 to 1999 in North Carolina added up to $13 billion. Storm damage totals were separated into damages caused by wind, flooding, and storm surge. For all 36 direct landfalling tropical cyclones in North Carolina from 1925-2000, flooding caused approximately 40% of all damages, while wind and storm surge caused an estimated 35% and 25%, respectively. From these results, it is clear that flooding produced relatively greater damage in North Carolina compared to the United States in general. Rainfall was correlated to meteorological parameters of tropical cyclones making landfall in North Carolina. There was a weak relationship between intensity of the tropical cyclone and maximum rainfall totals. There was a stronger relationship between rainfall and translation speed. For those tropical cyclones that did not directly interact with synoptic-scale features such as upper-level troughs, lows, or surface fronts, the relationship between rainfall and translation speed can be expressed by the equation Y=29.529X-0.6134 where Y is the average of the five highest recorded rain.
