Racer's hurricane was a destructive tropical cyclone that had severe effects in northeastern Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the Gulf Coast of the United States in early October 1837. It was named after the Royal Navy ship HMS Racer, which encountered the cyclone in the northwestern Caribbean. Termed "one of the most famous and destructive hurricanes of the century" by meteorology historian David Ludlum, the storm first affected Jamaica with flooding rainfall and strong winds on September 26 and 27, before entering the Gulf of Mexico by October 1. As the hurricane struck northern Tamaulipas and southern Texas, it slowed to a crawl and turned sharply northeastward. The storm battered the Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle between October 3 and 7. After crossing the Southeaste

  • Racer's hurricane was a destructive tropical cyclone that had severe effects in northeastern Mexico, the Republic of Texas, and the Gulf Coast of the United States in early October 1837. It was named after the Royal Navy ship HMS Racer, which encountered the cyclone in the northwestern Caribbean. Termed "one of the most famous and destructive hurricanes of the century" by meteorology historian David Ludlum, the storm first affected Jamaica with flooding rainfall and strong winds on September 26 and 27, before entering the Gulf of Mexico by October 1. As the hurricane struck northern Tamaulipas and southern Texas, it slowed to a crawl and turned sharply northeastward. The storm battered the Gulf Coast from Texas to the Florida Panhandle between October 3 and 7. After crossing the Southeastern United States, it emerged into the Atlantic shipping lanes off the Carolinas by October 9. The effects of the tropical cyclone were far-reaching. Matamoros, on the southern bank of the Rio Grande, faced hurricane conditions for several days, with significant damage to ships. Many towns along the Texas shoreline were inundated by storm surge, which flooded the coastal plains for many miles inland. Galveston Island was devastated, with nearly every building washed away and most vessels driven ashore. To the east, a water level rise of 8 ft (2.4 m) on Lake Pontchartrain submerged low-lying areas of New Orleans. Many steamboats on the lake were wrecked and buildings along its shores demolished. Storm surge and wind damage extended into Mississippi and Alabama, but with less severity. In the interior Southeast, sugar cane and cotton crops bore heavy losses. As the weakening storm buffeted the Outer Banks of North Carolina on October 9, the passenger steamship SS Home ran aground about 300 ft (91 m) off Cape Hatteras and rapidly broke up in the pounding surf. About 90 passengers and crewmen died in the wreck. Overall, Racer's hurricane killed an estimated 105 people. (en)
  • 竞速者飓风是1837年10月初重创墨西哥东北部、德克萨斯共和国和美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区的强烈热带气旋，名称“竞速者”源自在加勒比海西北部遇到风暴的英国皇家海军同名舰只。据气象历史学家记载，这场飓风在十九世纪所有热带气旋中无论知名度还是导致的破坏程度都名列前茅。9月26至27日，风暴首先在牙买加产生狂风暴雨并引发洪灾，然后于10月1日进入墨西哥湾。竞速者的移动速度在吹袭塔毛利帕斯州北部和德克萨斯共和国南部期间放缓，然后向东北大幅转向。10月3日至7日，气旋袭击德克萨斯至佛罗里达狭地间的墨西哥湾沿岸地区。穿过美国东南部后，风暴于10月9日抵达南、北卡罗莱纳州近海的大西洋航道。 竞速者的影响范围很广。位于格兰德河南岸的马塔莫罗斯风力达到飓风强度并持续数天之久，船只破坏严重。德克萨斯沿海许多城镇被风暴潮淹没，洪水从沿海平原向内陆推进数十公里。加尔维斯顿岛变得满目疮痍，几乎所有建筑都被冲走，大部分船只搁浅。东面的庞恰特雷恩湖水位上涨2.4米，将新奥尔良低洼地区淹没。湖上许多汽船沉没，沿岸建筑被毁。密西西比州至亚拉巴马州同样受到风暴潮和狂风摧残，但程度较轻。美国东南部内陆的甘蔗和棉花作物损失惨重。10月9日，逐渐减弱的气旋抵达北卡罗莱纳州外滩群岛，“家园号”客轮在距仅90米左右近海搁浅，而且马上就在巨浪下解体，乘客及船员共有90人遇难，估计整场飓风一共夺走105条人命。 (zh)
