Hurricane Alicia

I chose Hurricane Alicia because it reminds me of Alice In Wonderland and that is the newest movie from Tim Burton. =D Hurricane Alicia was rated as a category 3 hurricane. Alicia formed on August 15th, 1983. It was fromed over the northern center of the Gulf of Mexico, and moved slowly towards the west and northwest while getting stronger on the 16th and 17th. This movement brought Hurricane Alicia to the western end of Galveston Island, Texas on August 18. Alicia moved into Nebraska on the 21st. The Coast Guard in Galveston reported sustained winds of 96 miles per hour with gusts up to 125 miles per hour.

Alicia was resposible for 21 deaths and about $2 billion dollars in damage in the United States.
