Three fatalities were attributed to the cyclone, one in Alabama after a boy was struck by a log pushed by waves,[55] another in Texas due to drowning,[57] and a third in Tennessee after a motorist skidded off a road and crashed into a pole. [93] In the former, about 90% of homes were damaged, with 60% of those being considered uninhabitable. Reaching a forward speed of 29 mph (47 km/h), Nate became the fastest-moving tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. Six hours later, the depression intensified into Tropical Storm Maria. By early on November 6, convection associated with the low had become sufficiently organized and the system was classified as a tropical depression. It intensified into Tropical Storm Arlene six hours later. [24], September featured copious activity, with four hurricanes forming: Jose, Katia, Lee, and Maria,[37] the final of which became the tenth-most-intense Atlantic hurricane on record. [118] Agricultural losses alone reached about $2.85 million,[119] while infrastructural damage totaled about $407,000. [29], Upon its formation as a subtropical depression on April 19, Arlene was the sixth-known subtropical or tropical cyclone to form in the month of April in the Atlantic basin; the other instances were Ana in 2003, a subtropical storm in April 1992, and three tropical depressions in 1912, 1915, and 1973, respectively. 3 (17 March 2017)", "Madagascar cyclone death toll rises to 78", "Cyclone "Cook" hits New Caledonia, leaving 1 dead, 20 000 without power", "4 killed as Cyclone Maarutha hits Irrawaddy Delta", "Cyclone Mora Wreaks Devastation Along Myanmar's West Coast, Killing One", "Sri Lanka: UN agency deploys rapid assessment teams to assist in wake of monsoon floods, landslides", "EU announces €1.5 million in assistance to victims of Cyclone Mora in Bangladesh, Myanmar", "Death toll up to 146 in Bangladesh landslides", "5 still missing, 530 displaced one month after Kyushu's deadly rain", "One dead, 20,000 evacuated as tropical storm Nanmadol batters western Japan", "Death toll from Kyushu rains hits 22 as searches, evacuations continue", "In Kyushu floods, destruction was magnified by fast-flowing driftwood", "gulftoday.ae – Tropical Storm Talas hits Vietnam, leaves one dead", "9 dead or missing in Vietnam as infrastructure is damaged – VnExpress International", "In Pics: Flood Situation in Odisha worsens, four dead", "Two killed as typhoon slams southern Japan", "Deaths reported as weakening Noru slams Japan", "Worst floods in 2 decades hit Sakon Nakhon (Updated)", "Thailand floods kill 23, cause damage estimated at $300 million", "Agricultural losses from Typhoon Nesat exceed NT$60 million – Focus Taiwan", "16 dead, 20 lakh affected in West Bengal floods", "Eight killed as heavy rains lash Jharkhand", Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia, Australian Bureau of Meteorology (TCWC's Perth, Darwin & Brisbane), Papua New Guinea National Weather Service, Meteorological Service of New Zealand Limited, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tropical_cyclones_in_2017&oldid=995757628, Articles needing additional references from December 2020, All articles needing additional references, Articles to be expanded from November 2020, Wikipedia articles incorporating text from the National Weather Service, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, Philippines, Taiwan, South China, Vietnam, Philippines, South China, Vietnam, Thailand. [34], The areas near Harvey's landfall location in Texas experienced extensive wind damage. Preliminarily, the maximum storm tide (astronomical tide + storm surge) was 12.24 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) / 4.73 feet Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) at 1742 UTC (142 PM EDT) on September 11 at Fort Pulaski, GA, which was the second highest level ever recorded. The disturbance became Tropical Storm Franklin at 00:00 UTC on August 7, about 85 mi (137 km) north-northeast of Cabo Gracias a Dios. Bret intensified slightly further, peaking with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (80 km/h) around 02:00 UTC the following day. [111] When Jose reached peak intensity, it marked the first time on record in the Atlantic basin that two hurricanes, the other being Irma, occurring simultaneously had maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h). [5] On December 14, CSU released a qualitative discussion detailing five possible scenarios for the 2017 season, taking into account the state of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and the possibility of El Niño developing during the season.
