An Entity of Type: NaturalPhenomenon111408559, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 1926 Louisiana hurricane caused widespread devastation to the United States Gulf Coast, particularly in Louisiana. The third tropical cyclone and hurricane of the 1926 Atlantic hurricane season, it formed from a broad area of low pressure in the central Caribbean Sea on August 20. Moving to the northwest, the storm slowly intensified, reaching tropical storm strength on August 21 and subsequently attaining hurricane strength after passing through the Yucatán Channel. The hurricane steadily intensified as it recurved northwards in the Gulf of Mexico, before reaching peak intensity just prior to landfall near Houma, Louisiana on August 25 with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). After moving inland, the tropical cyclone moved to the west and quickly weakened, before dissipating on August 27.

  • The 1926 Louisiana hurricane caused widespread devastation to the United States Gulf Coast, particularly in Louisiana. The third tropical cyclone and hurricane of the 1926 Atlantic hurricane season, it formed from a broad area of low pressure in the central Caribbean Sea on August 20. Moving to the northwest, the storm slowly intensified, reaching tropical storm strength on August 21 and subsequently attaining hurricane strength after passing through the Yucatán Channel. The hurricane steadily intensified as it recurved northwards in the Gulf of Mexico, before reaching peak intensity just prior to landfall near Houma, Louisiana on August 25 with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). After moving inland, the tropical cyclone moved to the west and quickly weakened, before dissipating on August 27. The hurricane's strong storm surge at landfall caused extensive damage to coastal regions, especially lighthouses. Strong winds caused severe infrastructural and crop damage, destroying homes and disrupting communications. Heavy rainfall, peaking at 14.5 in (370 mm) in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, also helped to damage crops. Widespread power outages also occurred in areas along the Gulf Coast. 25 deaths were reported as a result of the hurricane, with damages estimates totaling $6 million. (en)
  • 1926年路易斯安那飓风（英語：1926 Louisiana hurricane）在1926年8月下旬对美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区构成重创，并以路易斯安那州灾情特别严重，还是的第三场热带风暴和第三场飓风，于8月20日经中加勒比海的大规模低气压区发展成型。气旋向西北移动并缓慢增强，于8月21日成为热带风暴，并在经过尤卡坦海峡后达到飓风标准。风暴在墨西哥湾蜿蜒北上并稳步增强，达到最高强度后不久于8月25日以风力时速185公里强度在路易斯安那州霍玛附近登陆。进入内陆上空后，气旋转向西进并迅速减弱，最终于8月27日逐渐消散。 飓风登陆之际激起强烈风暴潮，对沿海地区构成重大破坏，特别是多座灯塔受损严重。狂风重创基础设施和农作物，还摧毁部分民房并导致通讯中断。风暴降下暴雨，其中路易斯安那州的唐纳森维尔降雨量最高，达370毫米，对农作物可谓雪上加霜。美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区发生大面积停电。整场飓风共导致25人丧生，经济损失估计达600万美元。 (zh)
