  • The 1920 Louisiana hurricane was a strong tropical cyclone that caused significant damage in parts of Louisiana in September 1920. The second tropical storm and hurricane of the annual hurricane season, it formed from an area of disturbed weather on September 16, 1920, northwest of Colombia. The system remained a weak tropical depression as it made landfall on Nicaragua, but later intensified to tropical storm strength as it moved across the Gulf of Honduras, prior to making a second landfall on the Yucatán Peninsula. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, the storm quickly intensified as it moved towards the north-northwest, reaching its peak intensity as a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) prior to making landfall near Houma, Louisiana with no change in intensity. Afterwards, it quickly weakened over land, before dissipating on September 23 over eastern Kansas. As it approached the United States Gulf Coast, the hurricane forced an estimated 4,500 people to evacuate off of Galveston Island, and numerous other evacuations and precautionary measures to occur. At landfall, the hurricane generated strong winds along a wide swath of the coast, uprooting trees and causing damage to homes and other infrastructure. Heavy rainfall associated with the storm peaked at 11.9 in (300 mm) in Robertsdale, Alabama. The heavy rains also washed out railroads, leading to several rail accidents. Across the Gulf Coast, damage from the storm totaled to $1.45 million, and one death was associated with the hurricane. (en)
  • 1920年路易斯安那飓风（英語：1920 Louisiana hurricane）是1920年9月对路易斯安那州部分地区构成重大破坏的一个强烈热带气旋，也是这年大西洋飓风季第二场热带风暴和第二场飓风，于9月16日在哥伦比亚西北方向海域由扰动天气区发展而成。气旋起初强度偏弱，登陆尼加拉瓜时依然是热带低气压，但在经过洪都拉斯湾期间得以增强，在登陆尤卡坦半岛前成为热带风暴。进入墨西哥湾后，气旋在朝西北偏北移动的同时快速强化，达到风力时速160公里的二级飓风强度后从路易斯安那州霍玛附近登陆。接下来风暴在陆地上空急剧减弱，最终于9月23日在东堪萨斯州上空逐渐消散。 飓风逼近美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区之际，估计加尔维斯顿岛有4500人被迫撤离，另有多地采取包括疏散人员在内的多种预防措施。风暴登陆时在大范围沿海地区产生狂风，将树木连根拔起，还对部分民房和基础设施构成破坏。暴雨在阿拉巴马州罗伯茨代尔产生的降水最多，达300毫米。暴雨还将铁轨冲毁，引发多起铁路事故。气旋在美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区共导致一人死亡，损失总额约为145万美元。 (zh)
