About: Effects of Hurricane Dean in the Greater Antilles

An Entity of Type: Contact107339329, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The effects of Hurricane Dean in the Greater Antilles were spread over six countries and included 20 deaths. Hurricane Dean formed in the Atlantic Ocean west of Cape Verde on August 14 as part of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. The Cape Verde-type hurricane tracked steadily westward into the Caribbean, where it rapidly intensified. Its outer bands swept over the Greater Antilles; the storm surge was felt from the eastern side of Puerto Rico to the western tip of Cuba. It brushed the island of Jamaica as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale before striking Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula at Category 5 strength.

  • The effects of Hurricane Dean in the Greater Antilles were spread over six countries and included 20 deaths. Hurricane Dean formed in the Atlantic Ocean west of Cape Verde on August 14 as part of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season. The Cape Verde-type hurricane tracked steadily westward into the Caribbean, where it rapidly intensified. Its outer bands swept over the Greater Antilles; the storm surge was felt from the eastern side of Puerto Rico to the western tip of Cuba. It brushed the island of Jamaica as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale before striking Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula at Category 5 strength. National governments, domestic non-governmental organizations, and international aid agencies established hundreds of shelters, evacuated hundreds of thousands of people, raised millions of dollars of resources, and rallied thousands of rescue workers as the powerful hurricane churned through the Caribbean. Despite a number of near misses, Hurricane Dean did not make landfall in the Greater Antilles and the islands were spared the brunt of the storm. Six people were killed in the Dominican Republic and another fourteen in Haiti. Three were killed in Jamaica, which also suffered US$310 million of damage—the heaviest in the Caribbean. The most severe damage there was to the agricultural sector; nearly the entire banana crop was destroyed. Global aid organizations contributed to the subsequent recovery effort; immediate life-saving needs were met within days, but the damage to Jamaica's infrastructure and economy took much longer to repair. With loans and grants from the local government, the European Union, and the United Nations, normality was restored by the following summer. (en)
  • Os efeitos do furacão Dean nas Grandes Antilhas foram dispersos sobre seis países e incluem 20 mortes causadas direta e indiretamente. O furacão Dean formou-se de uma onda tropical em 14 de agosto de 2007, no Oceano Atlântico, a 1800 km a oeste de Cabo Verde. Sendo um "furacão do tipo Cabo Verde", ou seja, tem sua gênese próxima ao arquipélago, o sistema rumou para oeste em direção ao Mar do Caribe, onde ele rapidamente se intensificou. As suas bandas de tempestades externas "varreram" todas as Grandes Antilhas e a sua maré de tempestade associada foi sentida desde o leste de Porto Rico até o extremo oeste de Cuba. O furacão "varreu" a ilha da Jamaica como um furacão de categoria 4 na escala de furacões de Saffir-Simpson antes de atingir a Península de Iucatã, no México, como um furacão de categoria 5. (pt)
