History has demonstrated that the hurricane season represents a serious threat to marine activities at Gulfport. The Mississippi coast has been affected by tropical cyclone activity at an average frequency of 1.2 per year. Since 1942 there have been 8 tropical cyclones which produced sustained 50 kt winds or greater at Gulfport. During this century there have been five occurrences of tropical cyclone storm tides exceeding 8 ft along this section of the Mississippi coast, the most recent being a storm tide of 21 ft at Gulfport which accompanied Hurricane Camille in 1969.


Oops...time to update that one.

When I click the numbers I see that Miami and W. Palm Beach "are not hurricane havens." (duh!) :roll: :eek:

Interesting reading. Old data (typical for USN). Morehead City data 1982. But I guess Morehead City will never be a "haven" so no need for updated data.
