Hurricane Floyd Case Study September 1999

Effects Hit the coast of Florida and then moved North towards Georgia and South Carolina. Torrential rain and 155mph winds battered the area, bringing down power and phone lines and snapping trees. It whipped up 20-foot waves along the coast.

Effects Anxious holidaymakers and local residents fleeing the storm jammed roads. Over a million people were evacuated from Key Biscayne, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale. Floyd was more than 600 miles in diameter and was the biggest storm to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992 (that left 26 dead, 160,000 homeless and caused $25billion of damage). Floyd was estimated to be three times as strong as Andrew.
