About: Hurricane Able (1952)

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

Hurricane Able was the only hurricane to make landfall in the United States in the 1952 season. Forming on August 18 off the west coast of Africa, Able moved generally west- to west-northwestward for much of its duration. It was first observed by the Hurricane Hunters on August 25 to the north of the Lesser Antilles. Two days later, Able attained hurricane status, and on August 30 it turned sharply to the north-northwest in response to a cold front. The hurricane reached peak winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) just prior to moving ashore near Beaufort, South Carolina on August 31. Although it quickly weakened below hurricane force, Able maintained tropical storm force for almost two days over land, eventually dissipating over Maine on September 2.

  • Hurricane Able was the only hurricane to make landfall in the United States in the 1952 season. Forming on August 18 off the west coast of Africa, Able moved generally west- to west-northwestward for much of its duration. It was first observed by the Hurricane Hunters on August 25 to the north of the Lesser Antilles. Two days later, Able attained hurricane status, and on August 30 it turned sharply to the north-northwest in response to a cold front. The hurricane reached peak winds of 100 mph (160 km/h) just prior to moving ashore near Beaufort, South Carolina on August 31. Although it quickly weakened below hurricane force, Able maintained tropical storm force for almost two days over land, eventually dissipating over Maine on September 2. The threat of the storm prompted hurricane warnings in the southeastern United States, resulting in the evacuation of tourists on Labor Day Weekend. Able produced heavy rainfall from Florida through New England, which caused widespread flooding. The city struck by the hurricane was heavily damaged and briefly isolated due to downed power and telephone lines. Overall damage in the United States totaled $2.75 million (1952 USD, $28.1 million 2022 USD), mostly from crop damage in South Carolina. Further north, Able produced flooding and gusty winds, which washed out a portion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. (en)
  • O furacão Able foi o único furacão a atingir a costa dos Estados Unidos na temporada de 1952. Formou-se em 18 de agosto ao largo da costa oeste da África, Able moveu-se geralmente de oeste para oeste-noroeste durante grande parte da sua duração. Foi observado pela primeira vez pelos caçadores de furacões em 25 de agosto ao norte das Pequenas Antilhas. Dois dias depois, Able atingiu o status de furacão, e em 30 de agosto virou bruscamente para o norte-noroeste em resposta a uma frente fria. O furacão atingiu ventos de pico de 160 km/h (100 mph) pouco antes de chegar à costa perto de Beaufort, Carolina do Sul, em 31 de agosto. Embora tenha enfraquecido rapidamente com a força do furacão, Able manteve a força da tempestade tropical por quase dois dias sobre a terra, eventualmente se dissipando no Maine em 2 de setembro. A ameaça da tempestade gerou alertas de furacão no sudeste dos Estados Unidos, resultando na evacuação de turistas no fim de semana do Dia do Trabalho. Able produziu fortes chuvas da Flórida até a Nova Inglaterra, o que causou inundações generalizadas. A cidade atingida pelo furacão foi fortemente danificada e brevemente isolada devido à queda de energia e linhas telefônicas. Os danos gerais nos Estados Unidos totalizaram US$ 2,75 milhões (1952 USD), principalmente devido a danos às colheitas na Carolina do Sul. Mais ao norte, Able produziu inundações e ventos fortes, que destruíram uma parte da ferrovia de Baltimore e Ohio. (pt)
