Tropical Storm Harvey

The name Harvey was used for six tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean.

  • Hurricane Harvey (1981) – threatened Bermuda but turned away before striking, no damage.
  • Hurricane Harvey (1993) – short-lived storm that did not threaten land.
  • Tropical Storm Harvey (1999) – struck Florida, causing $15 million in damage.
  • Tropical Storm Harvey (2005) – earliest eighth-storm formation in the Atlantic Ocean since record-keeping began, breaking the old record set in 1936 by 12 days. Threatened Bermuda. The record wasn’t broken until Hurricane Hanna (2020).
  • Tropical Storm Harvey (2011) – record eighth storm in a row failing to reach hurricane strength in a single season, since reliable records began. Strong tropical storm that affected parts of Central America.
  • Hurricane Harvey (2017) – Category 4 hurricane, tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone as well as the wettest US tropical cyclone on record after causing catastrophic flooding in Texas in late August 2017.

The name Harvey was retired after the 2017 season due to the extensive amount of damage and loss of life it caused along its track, particularly in Texas and Louisiana. It will be replaced with Harold for the 2023 season.[1]

gollark: Directly probably not, but there are 'betalight" things which convert the beta radiation (electrons) from tritium in a tube into light.
gollark: You can get GPS precision of a few metres or better nowadays. It's very neat.
gollark: Relativity has some effects on GPS because of the very precise timing involved.
gollark: I don't know what specifically "Lagrangian mechanics" is used for, I assume it's for modelling some things in physics/maths.
gollark: Anyway, you can obviously learn stuff on your own (well, I guess mostly not some physical skills and stuff), it just might be harder. You need good explanations and many practice questions.
