The 1942 Matagorda hurricane was the most intense and costliest tropical cyclone of the 1942 Atlantic hurricane season. The second tropical storm and hurricane, as well as the first major hurricane of the year, it originated from a tropical wave near the island of St. Lucia on August 21. Moving generally westward across the Caribbean Sea, the storm remained weak for much of its early existence. However, it gradually intensified, and reach hurricane strength south of Jamaica on August 25 before coming ashore the Yucatán Peninsula late on August 27. Once in the Gulf of Mexico, the hurricane quickly strengthened, and attained its peak intensity on August 29 as a Category 3 hurricane with winds of 115 mph (185 km/h). However, nearing the Texas Gulf Coast, the storm waned in intensity, and was

  • 1942年马塔戈达飓风是强度最高且造成破坏最严重的热带气旋,也是该季第二场热带风暴、第二场飓风和首场大型飓风,源自8月21日圣卢西亚附近的东风波。气旋整体向西穿越加勒比海,起初强度很弱,但经逐渐增强还是于8月25日在牙买加以南海域达到飓风标准,然后在8月27日晚登陆尤卡坦半岛。进入墨西哥湾后,风暴迅速强化,持续风速于8月29日达到每小时185公里,在现代萨菲尔-辛普森飓风等级下已属三级飓风标准,成为本季首场大型飓风。接下来气旋在靠近美国墨西哥湾沿岸地区的同时减弱,8月30日从德克萨斯州附近登陆时强度已回落至一级飓风标准。风暴继续深入内陆并减弱,最终于8月31日消退成残留低气压区。 飓风从尤卡坦半岛最东北角首度登陆,由此产生的影响缺乏文献记载。随着风暴逼近德克萨斯州海岸,大范围地区人员撤离,其中单加尔维斯敦就有约五万人疏散。气旋登陆期间重创美国墨西哥湾沿海地区,马塔哥达的风暴潮高达4.5米,将城区淹没,另有多地受到破坏。向北远至圣安东尼奥的内陆都有狂风肆虐,许多建筑被夷平,树木连根拔起,还导致大范围停电。农作物受到气旋重创,并以水稻灾情严重。飓风在陆地上空的移动速度很快,所以产生的降水相对较少,其中里菲吉奥县的雨量最高,达240毫米。整场风暴一共造成八人死亡,经济损失约为2650万美元。 (zh)
