Kerry Emanuel’s companion website to Divine Wind is now up at www.divinewindbook.com! It is packed with additional reading material and links to online hurricane sources. Don’t miss the“Figures” page which contains all of the images from the book – graphs, satellite photos, wind models and photos taken by “hurricane hunters” from within the eye of these awe-inspiring storms. The page includes this graph:
Track of the Galveston Hurricane of 1900
Figure 13.1: Track of the deadly Galveston Hurricane of August-September 1900. The red dots show the storm’s position each day, beginning on August 27th. The orange patch shows the area warned by the U.S. Weather Bureau on September 6th, when the storm was just off Key West.
Colors on tracks show storm strength category: Dark blue: tropical storm; light blue: Cat1; green: Cat2; yellow: Cat3; orange: Cat4; red: Cat5.
