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

The 1987 Gulf Coast tropical storm caused flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States. The second tropical cyclone and first tropical storm of the 1987 Atlantic hurricane season, it originated from a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico, southeast of Texas, on August 9. Initially a tropical depression, the cyclone moved north-northwestward and slightly intensified into a tropical storm later that day. By August 10, it made landfall between Galveston and Beaumont. The system weakened after moving inland and turned towards the east and later southeast. Briefly reemerging over the Gulf on August 15, the depression moved onshore a second time in Florida, before dissipating over eastern Georgia on August 17.

  • The 1987 Gulf Coast tropical storm caused flooding along the Gulf Coast of the United States. The second tropical cyclone and first tropical storm of the 1987 Atlantic hurricane season, it originated from a tropical wave in the Gulf of Mexico, southeast of Texas, on August 9. Initially a tropical depression, the cyclone moved north-northwestward and slightly intensified into a tropical storm later that day. By August 10, it made landfall between Galveston and Beaumont. The system weakened after moving inland and turned towards the east and later southeast. Briefly reemerging over the Gulf on August 15, the depression moved onshore a second time in Florida, before dissipating over eastern Georgia on August 17. Due to the relatively weak nature of the system, it caused relatively little damage. However, the system dropped heavy rainfall, peaking at 21.05 inches (535 mm) in southern Mississippi. This resulted in flooding, which forced more than 400 people to evacuate their homes, some of which had 2 to 4 feet (0.61 to 1.22 m) of water. Flash flooding was reported in a few others states, including Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. In all, losses from the unnamed storm reached $7.4 million (1987 USD) and one person was reported missing after being thrown overboard a boat in rough seas. (en)
  • 1987年墨西哥湾热带风暴是1987年大西洋飓风季形成的第二个热带气旋和首场热带风暴，在美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区引发洪灾。系统源自8月9日德克萨斯州东南方向墨西哥湾内的东风波，起初属热带低气压，之后在朝西北偏北方向移动期间略有增强，于当晚达到热带风暴标准。8月10日，气旋从加尔维斯敦和博蒙特之间登陆。风暴在进入陆地上空后减弱并转向东进，之后又转朝东南方向移动。8月15日，气旋短暂返回墨西哥湾上空，但很快又从佛罗里达州上岸，最终于8月17日在乔治亚州东部上空逐渐消散。 这场风暴的强度不高，所以直接造成的破坏程度很轻。气旋产生暴雨，降雨量最高的密西西比州南部达535毫米，引发的洪灾迫使400余人撤离家园，部分民居的洪水有61到122厘米深。另外，阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州和路易斯安那州都出现山洪爆发。整场风暴一共造成740万美元（1987年美元）的损失，有一人因海况恶劣从船上落水后失踪。 (zh)
