BALTIMORE (May 19, 2005) —
Hurricane Adrian had killed two people and was damaging Central America’s Pacific coast by Thursday evening.

Some 2,500 people were evacuated from El Salvador, where schools were closed and fishing activities were banned, according to reports from Action by Churches Together (ACT), a global alliance of churches and related agencies that responds to emergencies worldwide.


The two deaths occurred in Guatemala, when a mudslide blamed on Adrian buried two construction workers near the Mexican border.


Forecasters warned Adrian could spawn flooding and mudslides in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The region was told to expect about 10 inches of rain, with as much as 20 inches in mountain areas.


Adrian was a Category 1 hurricane Thursday night, was expected to pick up speed before hitting El Salvador's coast.


By Thursday evening, Adrian was about 90 miles southwest of El Salvador's capital, San Salvador, with winds near 85 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.


Faith-based groups were working closely with government officials in the region to prepare for the storm and to deploy an immediate response.


The ACT National Forum in El Salvador was activated to coordinate disaster preparedness activities with local community networks in Cara Sucia on the southwest coast.


In Guatemala and Honduras, government officials were setting up temporary shelters, and making transportation is available for evacuation activities. ACT Forums in both countries were activated to follow the situation.


In Nicaragua, people living in the lower areas of Managua - those living close to Xolotlan Lake - were evacuated. The local government announced it does not have the resources to assist the population with the evacuation, according to ACT.


The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) was also planning to activate. SATERN helps train and acquire personnel skilled in emergency communications and message handling in disaster situations.


Adrian’s damage was not expected to approach that of Hurricane Mitch, which hit Central American in 1998, killing about 10,000 people in Honduras and Nicaragua.


The first hurricane of the Pacific season, Adrian has taken an unusual path - east instead of the usual west - toward the Caribbean. It is forecast to move across Central America, where it will likely break up over the mountains and be downgraded again to a tropical storm or tropical depression.


By Friday afternoon, the system was expected to continue on into the Caribbean and keep moving closer to Cuba. Forecasters said it would likely be out of the Caribbean by Monday morning. If the storm loses the circulation over the mountains and reforms over the Caribbean, it will get the name Arlene, the first name on the Atlantic names list for 2005.


According to weather historians, at least three storms have survived the trip over Central America in the past. The last one - an unnamed tropical storm - was in 1965. In 1923 and 1902, hurricanes survived the trek from the Pacific into the Gulf of Mexico.


The good news: Adrian might help relieve Cuba’s current drought.

Het is weer zover, vorig jaar volgde de ene op de andere storm in het Caribisch gebied en zorgde voor ravages en menselijk leed. Zal 2005 daar verandering in brengen?

We beginnen het jaar rustig met Adrian.

Nee, er moet ergens op internet een kaartje staan waarop de afwijking van het gemiddelde (met een duur woord heet dat anomalie) te zien is. Op dat kaartje was rondom floride een geheel blauw gebied te zien, fors lagere temperaturen dus ten opzichte van het gemiddelde.

Maar let dus op de lage zeewatertemperaturen bij Florida en voor de kust van Afrika, dat moet haast wel invloed hebben op de orkaan activiteit.

Hurricane Adrian Fizzles over Honduras

Posted May 20, 2005 6:53PM

Salvadoran President Tony Saca told local Channel 12 that officials were evaluating the damage, but said activities were turning to normal after the concern caused by the first hurricane on record to directly hit El Salvador.

Hurricane Adrian fizzled over Honduras Friday after slamming into El Salvador's coast and forcing the evacuation of 23,000 people, officials said.
The hurricane, first of the eastern Pacific season, caused relatively little damage and no reported deaths. It struck west of El Salvador's capital overnight with maximum sustained winds of almost 75 mph.

By midday, the rapidly moving storm had largely broken up over neighboring Honduras, leaving scattered showers, some flooding, blocked roads and the loss of a few shacks.

Officials linked one death to the storm. Rodrigo Flores, deputy chief of civil defense in Nicaragua, said a person drowned Thursday night during flooding in that country's capital, about 240 miles from the storm's center.

In Honduras, "there were no deaths or damage to mourn," said President Ricardo Maduro. "So we are fortunate."

Salvadoran President Tony Saca told local Channel 12 that officials were evaluating the damage, but said activities were turning to normal after the concern caused by the first hurricane on record to directly hit El Salvador.

He said most of the 23,000 people evacuated in El Salvador had returned home. The Salvadoran-based airline TACA also resumed service.

In Honduras, schools were closed as a precaution and many public workers were on a half-day schedule.

Officials in Guatemala and Nicaragua also reported some small-scale evacuations and flooding.

In 1998, Hurricane Mitch rolled across the region from the Caribbean side and killed at least 9,000 people.

Hurricane Dennis nears Jamaica

Storm could be menacing Gulf by weekend

Thursday, July 7, 2005; Posted: 2:51 a.m. EDT (06:51 GMT)


This satellite image shows Hurricane Dennis moving Wednesday though the Caribbean.

Hurricanes

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- People in Jamaica, southeastern Cuba and southwestern Haiti were bracing early Thursday for the menace of Dennis, which strengthened Wednesday to become the first full-fledged hurricane of the 2005 Atlantic season.

The storm is churning along a path toward the Gulf of Mexico, where it could begin threatening the U.S. Gulf Coast late this weekend.

As of 2 a.m. EDT, the center of Dennis, which was packing maximum sustained winds of almost 85 mph, was about 160 miles east-southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and about 235 miles south-southeast of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm, now a minimal Category 1 hurricane, was getting better-organized and was expected to strengthen, possibly reaching Category 2 status -- with winds in excess of 95 mph -- by the time it passes over or near Jamaica Thursday afternoon, forecasters said.

The strengthening Dennis was moving west-northwest at about 15 mph, and forecasters said that motion was expected to continue over the next 24 hours.

A hurricane warning was in effect for Jamaica, the southwestern peninsula of Haiti and the eastern Cuban provinces of Granma, Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo. Hurricane conditions were expected in those areas within the next 24 hours, and forecasters warned people there to rush storm preparations to completion.

A hurricane watch in effect for the Cayman Islands was expected to be upgraded to a warning, forecasters said. Other portions of central and eastern Cuba were also under a hurricane watch.

Forecasters said the storm was expected to dump 4 inches to 8 inches of rain over southern Haiti, Jamaica, eastern Cuba and the Caymans, with isolated amounts of 12 inches possible in mountainous areas of Jamaica. The heavy rains could produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, forecasters warned.

Officials at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, said that while hurricane preparations were under way, they did not expect to have to move the roughly 520 terror suspects held at a detention facility there.

With high winds expected, loose items were being secured, and a vehicle ferry from one side of the facility to the other was shut down, the officials said.

The hurricane center's latest five-day projection of Dennis' possible path has the center of the storm going across western Cuba Friday and then into the Gulf of Mexico. On that path, the storm would start approaching the central Gulf Coast Sunday and make landfall near Mobile, Alabama, about midday Monday.

However, hurricane movements can be erratic, and the potential forecast track of the storm varies from southwest Florida to Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. Forecasters cautioned that the storm was still too far away for a truly accurate prediction of where it would go.

However, forecasters said Dennis is likely to increase in intensity as it crosses the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, possibly developing into a Category 3 hurricane with winds of more than 115 mph.

Cindy raises oil prices

Mobile is already swamped by rains from Tropical Storm Cindy, which came ashore late Tuesday near the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana with sustained winds of 70 mph.

After coming ashore, Cindy faded into a tropical depression as it moved northward, but the system continued to drop rain on the southern Appalachians.

Cindy's move across the Gulf of Mexico forced the evacuation of 23 of 819 oil platforms and six of 135 oil rigs, according to the Minerals Management Service. Dennis' approach, as a stronger storm, could prompt more.

The shutdown has interrupted more than 3 percent of the Gulf's normal oil and natural gas production, pushing oil prices above $60 a barrel in trading Wednesday.

Vijf doden in Haïti door orkaan Dennis
Uitgegeven op 08 juli 2005 om 12:35 uur, bijgewerkt om 12:52

(Novum/AP) - Zeker vijf mensen zijn donderdag in Haïti om het leven gekomen door een orkaan, die naar verwachting vrijdag Cuba zal bereiken. Vier mensen kwamen om het leven toen een brug instortte. Het vijfde slachtoffer bevond zich in een lemen hut die werd getroffen door een door de wind uit de grond gerukte palmboom.

Ook in Jamaïca richtte de orkaan, die Dennis is gedoopt, grote schade aan. Tien procent van de bevolking kwam zonder stroom te zitten. In Cuba zijn honderdduizend mensen uit voorzorg geëvacueerd.

Hurricane Dennis pummels Havana, 32 dead in Caribbean

By Anthony Boadle
HAVANA, July 9 (Reuters) - Deadly Hurricane Dennis pummeled Havana into the early morning hours on Saturday, uprooting trees and leaving the city's 2.2 million people in darkness after earlier killing 32 people in southeastern Cuba and Haiti.

The storm weakened as it crossed Cuba from a ferocious Category 4 hurricane on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale to a less severe Category 2, but its 110-mph (180 kph) winds still screamed through the deserted streets of the Cuban capital, where many live in decrepit colonial buildings.

Residents said trees were plucked from the ground.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Dennis -- the strongest hurricane recorded so early in an Atlantic storm season -- would strengthen again on Saturday as it re-emerged over warm open water and skipped south of the Florida Keys.

Thousands of tourists and residents were evacuated from the vulnerable and low-lying island chain at the southern tip of the Florida peninsula, and many more prepared to leave coastal homes along the U.S. Gulf Coast, where Dennis was expected to land on Sunday evening.

Natural gas and oil production was also curtailed as oil platforms in the U.S. Gulf, where a quarter of U.S. crude and natural gas comes from, were evacuated.

Cuban authorities had evacuated more than 600,000 people in different parts of the country as Dennis approached the southern city of Cienfuegos. But the measures, which usually allow the Communist island to escape hurricane strikes with minimal casualties, failed to prevent 10 deaths on Thursday night.

Cuban President Fidel Castro said most of the victims died in collapsed houses in two coastal towns in Granma province. An 18-day-old baby was among those who died, he said on state television, calling the hurricane a "diabolical force."

Officials said 15,400 of the adjacent towns' 20,000 homes were destroyed or damaged. Television images showed rows of clapboard houses flattened by the storm.

On Friday, gusts of up to 149 mph (240 kph) also caused extensive damage in Cienfuegos, where the storm made landfall. It ripped up trees and downed electricity lines, but no casualties were reported there.

In southern Haiti, 15 people died when a swollen river tore away a bridge. The total number of deaths in Haiti reached 22, according to various officials.

Orkaan Dennis is op dit moment krachtiger dan "Ivan" die vorig jaar de golf van Mexico trof. 10 miljoen amerikanen maken zich op de voor de eerste echte storm van 2005 die waarschijnlijk vanmiddag Alabama bereikt.

Cuba heeft behoorlijk te lijden gehad, hoewel het nomaal gesproken het land is dat het beste georganiseerd is met dit soort dingen. Contact met een Cubaanse vriend is al dagen onmogelijk, blijkbaar ligt de electriciteit er al meer dan 36 uur uit.
Als vakantieganger zul je er weinig van merken (behalve een dagej binnenblijven), maar voor de Cubanen wordt het leven er (andermaal) niet makkelijker op...

Orkaan Dennis bereikt Amerikaanse kust
Uitgegeven op 10 juli 2005 om 22:13 uur

(Novum/AP) - Na zeker twintig dodelijke slachtoffers te hebben gemaakt in Haïti en Cuba heeft de orkaan Dennis zondag de zuidkust van de Verenigde Staten bereikt. Honderdduizenden mensen in de staten Florida en Alabama, waar de orkaan aan land ging, zijn geëvacueerd, evenals mensen uit de nabijgelegen staat Mississippi. De orkaan heeft voor de kust iets aan kracht verloren, maar nog steeds werden gevaarlijk hoge windsnelheden van ruim 190 kilometer per uur gemeten.

De meeste doden in Cuba vielen in de zuidoostelijke provincies. Volgens de autoriteiten hadden meer dan 1,5 miljoen Cubanen hun huizen verlaten en elders onderdak gezocht. Volgens de Cubaanse leider Fidel Castro vonden desalniettemin tien mensen de dood. De schade aan de Amerikaanse marinebasis Guantanamo Bay is beperkt gebleven tot een ingestorte wachttoren en een omgewaaide omheining.

Na op Cuba wat aan kracht te hebben verloren, zwol Dennis op zee weer aan tot een orkaan van de vierde categorie, waarbij windsnelheden zijn gemeten van 230 kilometer per uur. Sinds juni 1957, toen de orkaan Elizabeth de kust van Texas en Louisiana teisterde, zijn de VS niet meer zo vroeg in het jaar aangedaan door een orkaan.

Het gloednieuwe boorplatform Thunder Horse na Dennis. Ding staat punt van op zinken. Het platform was nog niet in gebruik, kostte één miljard dollar en is het grootste platform ter wereld.

BP in race against time to secure tilting platform
NEW YORK (Reuters) - BP workers in the Gulf of Mexico are racing to level the company's Thunder Horse oil platform, which is tilting precariously following Hurricane Dennis, before the possible arrival of another storm.
Thunder Horse, the largest semi-submersible oil platform in the world, had become more secure overnight, BP said on Wednesday.

A team of engineers on board is inspecting the damage and working to start pumps in an attempt to level the platform, which is listing 20 degrees, with its lower deck almost touching the water.

The tilting was discovered Monday, after the facility was evacuated Friday due to the approach of Hurricane Dennis.

Their work could be hindered by Tropical Storm Emily, which is moving westward from the Atlantic.

BP, the world's second-largest oil company by market capitalization, has said it does not know what caused the problem.

Thunder Horse, which cost $1 billion (567,996 billion pounds), is seen as the biggest hope for a small recovery in U.S. crude production, which has been falling since the 1970s. It was scheduled to start producing oil and gas in the fourth quarter of 2005.

"Chances are it will be delayed, how long and how much is still being discussed," said Mir Yousufuddin, an upstream oil analyst at the U.S Energy Information Administration.

BP owns 75 percent of Thunder Horse, with Exxon Mobil holding the rest. Both majors self-insure their portions of the platform.

BP said a survey by unmanned miniature submarines had not found any damage to Thunder Horse's hull. Analysts said this suggested a problem with its ballast tanks.
