NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Hurricane Emily (2005)

Hurricane Emily was the fifth named storm, third hurricane, second major hurricane and first Category 5 of the record-breaking 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm formed in July as a Cape Verde-type hurricane before passing through the Windward Islands, where it caused heavy damage in Grenada. Emily then made landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula as a Category 4 storm, first on the island of Cozumel and then just north of Tulum on the mainland of Quintana Roo. After crossing the Bay of Campeche the hurricane made a final destructive landfall in the state of Tamaulipas in northern Mexico.

Storm history

Tropical Depression Five formed in the central tropical Atlantic the evening of July 10.^[1] Late on July 11, it strengthened and was named Tropical Storm Emily. Initially forecast to strengthen rapidly and move west-northwest through the Greater Antilles, Emily instead moved almost due west toward the Windward Islands, remaining a moderate tropical storm. The storm languished while moving quickly west, and struggled with maintaining its form. Contrary to the normal occurrence that hurricanes leave a cold wake behind, Hurricane Dennis had made portions of the Caribbean Sea warmer,^[2] and therefore more favorable for tropical cyclone development. Late on July 13, Emily strengthened rapidly and reached hurricane strength while passing Tobago and entering the eastern Caribbean. On July 14, Emily made landfall in northern Grenada.^[1] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (1024x633, 463 KB) Summary Hurricane Emily (2005) track. ...

The intensification trend picked up again the next day with a fairly rapid drop in the storm's central pressure as it entered the southeastern Caribbean Sea, a region typically unfavorable for intensification. Hurricane Emily's winds increased in reaction, briefly bringing the storm to Category 4 strength early on July 15. During the day, the storm's strength fluctuated greatly, dropping to a Category 2 storm and then rebuilding to Category 4. On July 16, Emily strengthened considerably, making it the strongest hurricane ever on record to form in the month of July with peak winds of 160 mph (260 km/h), the earliest Category 5 in the Atlantic basin. Initially at this point Emily was thought to have peaked as a Category 4 storm, but the post-storm analysis showed it was indeed a Category 5 storm.^[1] The storm weakened slightly as it continued westward, and remained a Category 4 while passing south of Jamaica and, on July 17, the Cayman Islands. Hurricane Emily continued on its nearly straight track to the west-northwest, weakening somewhat but remaining at Category 4 until striking Cozumel just before mainland landfall at Playa del Carmen at 2:30 am EDT on July 18. Sustained winds were 135 mph (215 km/h), and the eyewall passed directly over Cozumel. Atmospheric pressure is the pressure at any given point in the Earths atmosphere. ...

The center of circulation emerged over the Gulf of Mexico later that morning.^[1] Passage over land disrupted the hurricane's center of circulation, and it had weakened to a minimal hurricane with wind speeds of 75 mph (120 km/h). However, several hours over the warm waters of the western Gulf provided the energy needed for Emily to regenerate, and by midnight wind speeds were increasing. The increase in wind speed stalled, but the storm continued to become better organized. Emily started to show very symmetrical outflow, but the hurricane's strongest winds were being found at three different distances from the center. However, the outer wind radii subsided in the end, and the inner core prevailed. The result was a rapid strengthening of the inner core on the evening of the 19th. The pressure dropped about 30 millibars and the winds went from 90 mph (145 km/h) to more than 125 mph (200 km/h), all within a few hours.^[1] Image File history File links Download high resolution version (5600x7200, 4473 KB) source: http://www1. ...

Further strengthening was expected by forecasters, but did not come.^[1] The storm's motion slowed, and the center began wobbling erratically toward the coast. The storm made landfall around 6:00 am CDT (1100 UTC) on July 20 near San Fernando in Tamaulipas. The storm had sustained winds of 125 mph (200 km/h), Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Impact

Caribbean

On July 14, Emily hit Grenada which was still recovering from the impact of Hurricane Ivan less than a year earlier. Emily resulted in one reported fatality and significant damage in the northern part of the country, including Carriacou which had been spared the worst effects of Ivan. 16 houses were destroyed and well over 200 more were damaged, and two of the main hospitals were flooded.^[3] The estimated damage from Emily in Grenada was USD $110 million. is the 195th day of the year (196th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Landslides were reported in eastern Jamaica, triggered by heavy rain as the storm passed south of the island. Four people were reported dead.

Yucatán Peninsula

In Mexico, tens of thousands of tourists and residents were evacuated from the beach resorts in and around Cancún, the Riviera Maya, and Cozumel ^[4]. Hotel guests were evacuated on Saturday afternoon, and staff on Sunday afternoon. Though some hotel guests in second floor rooms and above were given the option to be bussed into the center of Cancun to safe houses and shelters or to stay and wait out the storm in only the modern built hotels and resorts. Most of the remaining guests were restricted to their rooms and were not allowed out on the beach areas. No alcohol was sold in Cancun for 36 hours prior to the arrival of the storm, in an attempt to avoid drunken tourists being injured during the night. Two helicopter pilots were killed when their aircraft crashed while evacuating offshore oil platforms operated by Pemex. A German resident was electrocuted while on his roof in Playa del Carmen. The area was hit a second time just three months later by Hurricane Wilma, which caused even more damage as it tracked much more slowly across the Yucatán (despite having a similar intensity as Emily).

Emily caused havoc for Yucatán's tourism industry. Many hotels sustained significant damage, especially those built in a traditional style with thatched roofs. While Cancún remained relatively unscathed, further down the coast some hotels remained closed for many months, some reopening shortly before Hurricane Wilma hit; others having their re-openings delayed even further.

Northeast Mexico and Texas

Emily's second landfall as a strong Category 3 hurricane brought significant damage to the northeast coast of Mexico. In the fishing community of Laguna Madre, over 80% of the buildings were destroyed as a result of the storm surge.^[1] Several communities on the remote coast of Tamaulipas were isolated after the storm, and major coastal flooding was reported along with heavy wind damage, with numerous homes destroyed.

Communication to the Riviera Maya area was difficult after the storm; not all cellular phones were receiving coverage to the area, land lines were down, and electricity was out. About 18,000 people in 20 low-lying communities in the state of Tamaulipas, just south of the U.S.-Mexican border, were evacuated. Insured damages in Mexico were estimated at $200 million. The total damage estimate for Emily in Mexico was $400 million. Tamaulipas is a state in the northeast of Mexico. ... The international border between Mexico and the United States runs a total of 3,141 km (1,951 miles) from San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Baja California, in the west to Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and Brownsville, Texas, in the east. ...

In the southernmost tip of Texas, damage was relatively minor despite the close proximity of the storm. No significant structural damage was reported, although some trees were down and over 30,000 customers lost electricity.^[6] Eight tornadoes were also reported in Texas as a result of Emily, destroying several homes.^[5] Some positive effects were noted; the remains of Emily passed farther west into Texas and delivered some badly needed rainfall, helping relieve a drought. Damage in Texas was less than $50 million.^[5] For other uses, see Texas (disambiguation). ...

Lack of retirement

Despite the extensive damage across several countries and its intensity, in addition to the several records it broke, the name was not retired and is on the 2011 season's list.
