| Summary: | The 1969 hurricane season in the North Atlantic area, considered in its entirety, and synoptic and statistical aspects of individual storms are discussed. 1. GENERAL SUMMARY For the first time since Atlantic hurricanes fist were given girls ’ names, the tropical cyclone activity in 1969 used names through the letter M-Martha. Of the 13 tropical storms that received names (fig. l), 10 reached full hurricane intensity, and one-Camille-became the most destructive, if not the most intense, in the history of Atlantic hurricanes. The 1969 season will long remain unique, not only because of the disaster which it brought to the Mississippi, Louisiana, and the Middle Atlantic States, but also because of peculiar records set by a number of other storms. |
