Rain, floods, landslides, and water-borne diseases are typical after a tropical
storm, hurricane, typhoon, or cyclone.

WINDSTORM XYNTHIA
FEBRUARY 26-28, 2010
![Page 13: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WHAT WAS XYNTHIA?
Xynthia, a violent European windstorm with winds up to 140km/hr, crossed Western
Europe on 26–28 February 2010, and was the most violent storm since “Lothar” and “Martin” in
December 1999
![Page 14: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A powerful storm surge with waves up to 7.5 m (25 ft) high hit at high tide and smashed through a 200-
year-old sea wall off France’s coastal town of L’Aiquillon-Sur-Mer
![Page 15: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
XYNTHIA: FLOODING IN FRANCE
![Page 16: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Xynthia: 1) caused flooding, 2) cut power to more than 1 million homes in France and Portugal,
respectively, 3) disrupted travel in Spain, 4) tore roofs off houses, 5)
downed trees, 6) caused at least 51 deaths, and 7) caused losses
estimated at $1.8 B ($1.4 insured).
![Page 17: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The 2010 season was predicted to be less severe
than 2009 in the Pacific Basin and more severe in
the Atlantic Basin because of the diminished El Nino
conditions
![Page 18: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Eastern Pacific is, on average, the second-most active basin in the world with an average of 16 tropical storms annually, with 9 becoming hurricanes, and 4 becoming major hurricanes, frequently impacting
mainland Mexico and the Revillagigedo Islands, and
infrequently the USA.

TROPICAL STORM AGATHA STRIKES GUATEMALA
SHORTLY AFTER PACAVA ERUPTS
FIRST STORM OF PACIFIC SEASON FOLLOWS VOLCANIC ERUPTION
MAY 27-29, 2010
![Page 26: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Tropical Storm Agatha was a weak, but catastrophic storm that made
landfall near the Guatemala-Mexico border on the evening of May 29.
![Page 27: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Before the arrival of Tropical Storm Agatha, the Pacava volcano,
located 25 km south of Guatemala City, started spewing lava and ash
on Friday, May 28th, forcing the evacuation of hundreds.
![Page 28: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PACAVA ERUPTS: MAY 28
![Page 29: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Agatha produced torrential rain all across Central America, which
resulted in the death of one person in Nicaragua. 152 in Guatemala
(with another 100 missing because of landslides), and 13 in El
Salvador.

Sam Bonis, a geologist from Dartmouth, said that Guatemala
City is sitting on a bed of old volcanic ash that has not
completely lithified (turned into solid rock), and that he believed that the sinkhole was caused by
leaking pipes underground.
![Page 37: REMEMBERING 2O10’S SEVERE WINDSTORMS – PART 1 Xynthia Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Atlantic Basin Tropical Storms and Hurricanes: Pacific Basin Typhoons.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020106/56649db25503460f94aa1665/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Remnants of the storm were expected to deliver 10 to 20 in (25 to
50 cm) of rain over southeastern Mexico, Guatemala and parts of El
Salvador, creating the possibility of "life-threatening flash floods and
mudslides.”

Megi, known locally as Juan, was a category 5 super typhoon, the highest rating, with winds of
more than 250 kph and a diameter of over 600 km when it made landfall at Sierra Madre’s
Estagno Point in Isabela at 11:25 a.m. on Monday.

Megi tore roofs off houses, destroyed rice crops, toppled
trees, ripped down power lines, triggered landslides in the
mountains and whipped up huge waves.

Initial estimates indicate that Megi’s damage to
infrastructure, agriculture, fisheries and schools in the
Philippines reached 1.4 billion Philippine pesos ($32
million).

Loss of communications made it impossible at first to estimate casualties, but data later indicated that loss of life
was only about twenty-two people.
