I've always been interested in photographs taken during a hurricane. So I figured maybe it'd be interesting to have a thread devoted to hurricane action photos.

Here's some pics from Hurricane Carol in 1954.

Here's a pic from Hurricane Hattie in 1961. Hattie was a Category 5 at landfall on Belize with sustained winds of 160 mph and a barometric pressure of 920 mb.

Here's some photos from Hurricane Cleo in 1964. Prior to Charley, Hurricane Cleo was the only "C" storm to ever hit Florida. Considering how often Florida is hit by hurricanes and tropical storms, I found that interesting.

The year: 1969
The hurricane: Camille

I know this next one isn't a pic of Camille in action, but it is a ground radar pic of Camille. This is the only radar pic of Camille I have ever come across.

Here's a chilling photo during Hurricane Eloise in 1975. Although I think it's the angle the photo was taken in that makes the waves look like they're gonna engulf all those buildings. However, Eloise did bring in a 16 ft storm surge.

2005 marks the 25th anniversary of Hurricane Allen. Here's some pics taken during Hurricane Allen in 1980.

Now Allen is a fascinating storm to examine. The only other storm I know of that reached CAT 5 status three times is Ivan last year. Allen occured pretty early in the season for such a powerful storm as well.

OK, there's so many for Hurricane Elena from 1985. I'll have to do a few posts for "Erratic Elena".
