2005 canes that were the worst in lost of life and damage?

#1 Postby MiamiensisWx » Wed Nov 30, 2005 8:42 pm

I think the worst 2005 storms were Dennis, Emily, Katrina, Rita, Stan, and Wilma. Dennis caused people who were recovering from Ivan to go through another hardship storm, and Emily was destructive in the Caribbean, Yucatan Peninsula, and other areas of Mexico. For Katrina, I don't need to say anything since we know how terribly catastrophic it has been. Rita also caused, like Katrina, a destructive surge, though in a different area, along with wind and other types of damage. Stan caused huge amounts of flooding, deaths, and mudslides in Mexico. Wilma was destructive in the Yucatan Peninsula and southern Florida and was strong. I would say, then, that all of the above storms were the worst of 2005.

What storm(s) of 2005 do YOU think were most destructive?

I chose "others" just because each hurricane was bad in its own way... you look back now, and it makes you sad, im playing a song that fits perfectly with how i and it feels, and its making me cry...

Here's my quote I made earlier:
This is like Pearl Harbor all over again, except this time we can not defeat our enemies with our weapons, whether it be an M-16, or a nuke. The only thing that we CAN beat our enemy with is our smarts, we can out smart them, we can hide from the wind and run from the water. We can learn from our mistakes and build better houses and cities, we can find better ways to evactuate mass amounts of people. But, after its all said and done, and we return to the "off-season" we still wonder, why???? Why me??? What did I do to deserve this??? In all reality, no one unfortunely knows, why or how. That is why we must better prepare ourselves, so we can face this attack on our beachfronts. In the end, we may end up bloody, injured, or just doggon tired, but we will win, its just in our blood, we won't go silently into the night without a fight. Amen!!!
-Timmy Bruno

For me, it was a toss-up between Katrina and Stan. Those two were certainly the deadliest.

My initial thought, but then I remembered which one was stronger, so I went with Katrina.

1. Katrina (just by a nose over Dennis)
2. Dennis (leveled much of Cuba, enough said_
3. Wilma (leveled the Yucatan and severely damaged Sfla and the NW Bahamas)
4. Stan (killed many)
5. Emily (leveled NE Mexico and Grenada)
6. Rita (overall, had the least impact)

Depends where you live...

Katrina-for Miss and LA
Rita-for W LA
Wilma- for Yuk/FL
Dennis- for Cuba


But hands down the story of the year is Katrina...

Don't forget it would not have been nice to be in the 1 mile eye of Wilma when she tanked to be the strongest storm in history..

I haven't seen much mention of these two facts, that shouldn't be overlooked:

- Katrina has been mentioned, of course, for the MS and LA damage...but it also did a surprising bit of damage to Dade County in Florida despite her minimal strength...and also few seem to mention Alabama, which though spared a majority of the damage, still suffered significant flooding in Mobile, and Dauphin Island's western side took a near-total beating.

- Wilma has been mentioned for the obvious impact to the Yucatan and to South Florida...and even a bit of damage to NW Bahamas. But don't forget that it had a massive impact as well on Cuba. Dennis wasn't the only one to sock it to Cuba this year...Wilma caused unprecedented flooding along N Cuba including Havana... at least $700 million in damage estimates for Cuba alone, including Havana's record storm surge leaving many blocks in waist-high water, 7,500 homes damaged and 446 destroyed, and the tobacco industry lost more than 2,000 storage facilities and 54,000 seed boxes.

Anyway, here's the order I'd place them in:

1. Katrina
2. Wilma
3. Stan
4. Rita
5. Dennis
