Tropical Storm Case Studies

The wonderful Hurricane Song is here! Factually all correct, even if it does hurt your ears!
Hurricane Mitch -hit Central America & created killer landslides. Very heavy rainfall. Check here for more details.

Essential information on Hurricane Katrina can be found here
Hurricane Andrew was only the third category 5 Hurricane to make landfall in the USA & most of its damage was caused by the wind, making an interesting contrast with the other two tropical storms included here. This site gives a good overview of the behaviour & impact of the storm. Make suitable notes to enable you to make comparisons with Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Mitch & Hurricane Hanna (the one in the text book).

Must have a map!
