In Puerto Rico, flooding and high winds combined resulted in $70 million in damage and seven fatalities, four from electrocution. Although officially, subtropical storms are not included in the ACE value,[7] the figure above includes periods when storms were in a subtropical phase. On the 16th, a surface circulation developed about 450 miles east of the Leeward Islands. As the storm moved westward, it encountered wind shear, weakening it back to depression status when it hit Puerto Rico. One fatality occurred when an attempted to drive across a swollen creek near Guayanilla. [46] Storms were named Ana, Bob, Claudette, David, Frederic and Henri for the first (and only, in the cases of David and Frederic) time in 1979.
Portions of western Louisiana experienced 10 to 17 in (250 to 430 mm), resulting in severe flooding, with the worst impacted parishes being Allen, Calcasieu, and Rapides. [8], A tropical disturbance formed over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec on August 24. [1] It is estimated that a tropical depression developed after a surface circulation became evident at 1200 UTC on July 16.
Claudette moved across islands of Hispaniola and Cuba as a tropical depression before reforming in the Gulf of Mexico on July 21. Early the next day, Elena peaked with winds of 40 mph (65 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,004 mbar (29.6 inHg).
It moved across the Lesser Antilles in late August, with the worst hit islands being Dominica and Martinique.
Rice crops were also ruined.
Tropical Storm Claudette - July 16-31, 1979 The tropical wave that spawned Claudette was the strongest of the season in the mid-levels of the troposphere, with 85 knot winds being reported at the 550 hPa level at Dakar, Senegal on the morning of July 12. In Dominica, rain fell for 15 hours and gusty winds were reported. In South Carolina, a person went missing and was later presumed to have drowned after their boat was torn loose from its mooring. Two additional tropical depressions developed in November, the second of which dissipated on November 15. It turned east, passing south of Bermuda early on the morning of July 13 while accelerating eastward, with the depression dissipating that afternoon. The 1979 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season to include both male and female names, as well as the common six-year rotating lists of tropical cyclone names. [8] Henri disrupted cleanup efforts from the Ixtoc I oil spill by damaging a cap designed to stop oil from flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.
She then struck eastern Texas and left behind incredible flooding that caused almost $400 million in damage.
Accelerating to a forward speed of 29 mph (47 km/h), the storm intensified further and peaked with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 km/h) – equivalent to a minimal Category 1 hurricane – at 18:00 UTC on October 24.
Hundreds of cars were stalled or submerged in downtown Houston and 45 buses suffered water damage. The subtropical depression moved rapidly north-northeastward and strengthened into a subtropical storm early on October 24,[3] based on satellite imagery classification. At Constance Beach in Cameron Parish, up to 40 feet (12 m) of sand was eroded along a 1 mile (1.6 km) long section.
On Saint Kitts, rainfall peaked at 1.5 inches (38 mm) and wind gusts topped at 35 mph (56 km/h).
