Hello! Did you know that it was not until 1953 that U.S. scientists, like myself, even gave names to hurricanes? 00:00:00
Of course! Back then it was Ladies First! 00:00:11
Now, the first tropical storm ever named began with the letter A. 00:00:16
After that came the letter B, and then so on and so forth. You get the idea. 00:00:20
In 1979, it was decided to add men's names to the list. 00:00:26
Hello, my name is Bob. I want a hurricane named after me. 00:00:30
Oh, it's only fair! 00:00:34
In 1900, the Great Galveston Hurricane was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history. 00:00:36
The hurricane pounded the island with great force off the coast of Texas. It killed many, many people. 00:00:43
It had wind forces of 125 miles per hour, much of what I'm going to demonstrate right now. 00:00:49
Oh, well. At any rate, 2,600 homes were devastated, and it destroyed over three-quarters of the city. 00:00:58
On August 26, 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit south of Miami with wind gusts of up to 195 miles per hour. 00:01:06
Oh, I need a fan that works! 00:01:18
Hurricane Andrew cut a 25-mile-wide path through the Everglades National Park, and there's more! 00:01:22
Andrew left a huge path of destruction, 62 people dead, 25,000 homes destroyed, another 100,000 damaged. 00:01:30
Well, be that as it may, I will now demonstrate the power of hurricanes! 00:01:40
Uh-oh! 00:01:47
What a very good idea! 00:01:57
This has been the History of Hurricanes with Dr. Textbook. 00:02:01
