Hurricane Ivan moved steadily northward
across the north central Gulf of Mexico
on September 15th before turning north-
northeast and making landfall near Gulf
Shores, Alabama as a Category 3 hurri-
cane during the early morning of
September 16th.
Hurricane force winds affected the
lower portion of Plaquemines Parish.
The highest sustained wind recorded in
southeast Louisiana was at the NOAA
automated weather station at the South-
west Pass of the Mississippi River with
sustained winds of 72 knots (83 mph)
and gusts to 87 knot (100 mph) The
weather instruments are located at
approximately 100 ft above the sea
surface. Wind gusts of around 60 knot
(69 mph) were recorded at an automated
weather station along the coast near
Point a-la Hache. Outside of the lower
Plaquemines Parish area, tropical storm
force winds were recorded from coastal
Terrebonne Parish northeast through the
New Orleans area to eastern St. Tammany
Parish. The lowest barometric pressure
recorded was 983.6 mb at the Southwest
Pass automated weather station.
Lower portions of Plaquemines Parish
suffered the greatest wind damage.
Several school buildings suffered roof
damage as well as several public
government buildings. Around 100 mobile
homes had some type of wind damage,
with approximately 30 mobile homes
having major damage or were destroyed.
Seven houses suffered major wind
damage. 50 power poles were also downed
by high winds. In lower St. Bernard
parish about a dozen houses had some
type of wind damage. In other areas of
southeast Louisiana, generally only
minor wind damage was reported with
power outages. At least 55, 000
customers of the local electric power
company experience power outages.
The highest storm surge was confined
mostly to areas east of the Mississippi
River where storm surge averaged 3 to 5
feet above normal except locally higher
in some inlets. The highest storm surge
reading was 7.6 feet NGVD at Bayou
Dupre in St. Bernard Parish. The storm
surge flooded low lying property and
roadways outside of the hurricane pro-
tection levees in Orleans, St. Bernard
and Plaquemines Parishes. Around Lake
Pontchartrain and west of the Missi-
ssippi River, storm surge was 2 to 4
feet above normal.
No tornadoes were reported in southeast
Louisiana and storm total rainfall was
fairly light. The greatest storm rain-
fall total was 2.5 inches at Buras in
Plaquemine Parish.
Due to the threat posed by the powerful
hurricane, many area residents
evacuated the New Orleans metropolitan
area at the urging of local emergency
management officials. State Police
estimated that approximately 600,000
people evacuated from southeast
Louisiana including the the New Orleans
metro area prior to the hurricane.
Another 400,000 other coastal residents
from Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
moved through the area as they evacua-
ted to the west, away from the expected
landfall of hurricane Ivan. In an area
west of Kenner, eastbound lanes of
Interstate Highway 10 were reversed to
handle west bound traffic. Traffic jams
developed during the evacuation process
due to the large number of evacuees.
There were no direct fatalities related
to Hurricane Ivan, however four elderly
residents of southeast Louisiana died
during the large scale evacuation in
southeast Louisiana.
The Louisiana Dept of Insurance estima-
ted that insured property damage was
approximately $7.9 million. In a manner
utilized by the National Hurricane
Center for estimating storm damage, the
insured damage estimate was doubled to
arrive at total dollar damage of $15.8
million. Approximately 75% of the
damage was estimated to be related to
wind--$11.8 million. Approximately 25%
of the storm damage was estimated to be
related to storm surge--$4.0 million.

The remnant circulation of Hurricane
Ivan moved back into the Gulf of Mexico
and regenerated into a tropical storm
late on September 22nd. The weak tropi-
cal storm moved west to northwest and
passed south of the southeast Louisiana
coast before making landfall late on
September 23rd near the Louisiana-Texas
border. Weather impacts on the coast
were generally minimal. A few wind
gusts to tropical storm strength occur-
red on the coast. The highest wind gust
reported was 42 kt (48 mph) at the
automated NOAA weather station at the
Southwest Pass of the Mississippi
River. The weather station is located
about 100 feet above the sea surface. A
peak gust of 33 knot (38 mph) was
recorded at an automated weather
station in Tambour Bay of Terrebonne

The remnants of Hurricane Ivan moved
across the region during September 17th
and 18th, dropping anywhere from three
to locally in excess of six inches of
rain in many locations across Eastern
New York and adjacent Western New
England. Hardenburg, in Ulster County,
unofficially reported the most with
7.50" of rainfall during the two day
event. The heavy rains combined with an
unusually saturated ground and a high
water table from previous heavy rains,
produced significant runoff and
resultant flooding across the region.
The majority of flood damage sustained
from the heavy rainfall was confined to
roadways, with many roads, bridges and
culverts being washed out by
floodwaters. Landslides and serious
erosion occurred in the Town of
Hardenburg in Ulster County as the
Esopus Creek overflowed its banks.
Ulster County was especially hard hit
as the Emergency Management Official
for that county has estimated up to 2
Million dollars of damage to
infrastructure, while little if any
personal property damage was noted.
That county has been declared eligible
for aid through FEMA. Personal damage,
estimated at nearly half a million
dollars was noted in Schoharie County.
Additional damage occurred to several
docks and boats moored along Catskill
Creek and the Mohawk River. Low-lying
portions of mobile home parks in the
Village of Ravena were also evacuated
due to flooding during this event.
While power was temporarily shut off
and some telephone service was

After a relatively dry start to the
month, a potent late summer storm
system brought very heavy rain to parts
of southeast Minnesota and northeast
Iowa on September 14 and September 15.
Rain was most intense from near Mason
City, Iowa through the Austin area
(Mower County) to near Rochester
(Olmsted County). There were many areas
that had over 4 inches of rain, with
isolated higher amounts. In fact, the
highest unofficial totals were in the
Blooming Prairie area (Dodge County)
with 11.50 inches and 13.00 inches
reported.
Flash flooding was the initial problem,
but as all the rain drained into river
basins, many of the regional rivers and
creeks saw dramatic rises during the
overnight hours of September 14 and
into the morning of September 15. The
Austin area saw very high to record
crest levels on the Cedar River and
creeks leading into it. For example,
Turtle Creek at Austin had a record
setting crest of 14.77 feet, while a
record setting crest of 23.44 feet was
established on the Cedar River at
Lansing (Mower County). Other rivers
affected included the Zumbro and Root,
however flooding was not near as
significant in these locations. Mower,
Dodge and Olmsted counties were
declared federal disaster areas.
Hardest hit was the Austin area, where
flooding affected parts of the city and
widespread sand bagging efforts took
place. There were 350 homes in Mower
County, which received flood damage,
including 300 homes in Austin alone. A
20 year old man died on his way to
work, when he walked into high water
and was swept away. A 53 year old man
also died of a heart attack, while
assisting with sand bagging efforts.

Hurricane Ivan made landfall at 2:02
AM, September 16, near Gulf Shores,
Alabama as a upper Category 3
hurricane. The western side of Ivan
effected a large portion of Eastern
Mississippi as the center moved north
through Alabama. Thousands of trees
were blown down across Eastern
Mississippi during the event as well as
hundreds of power lines. The strong
wind itself did not cause much
structural damage, however the fallen
trees did. These downed trees accounted
for several hundred homes, mobile homes
and businesses to be damaged or
destroyed. Most locations across
Eastern Mississippi reported sustained
winds between 30 and 40 mph with
Tropical Storm force gusts between 48
and 54 mph. The strongest reported
winds occurred in Newton, Lauderdale
and Oktibbeha counties. A Mississippi
mesonet site, in Newton, reported
maximum sustained winds of 42 mph and
peak gust of 54 mph. At Key Field in
Meridian, maximum sustained winds were
reported at 43 mph with a peak gust of
61 mph. The highest sustained and peak
wind occurred at the Mississippi State
Climate Lab in Starkville. This site
reported maximum sustained winds of 52
mph and a peak gust of 64 mph.
Overall, rainfall totals were held in
check as Ivan steadily moved north. The
heaviest rains were confined to far
Eastern Mississippi where 3 to 4 inches
fell over a 15 hour period. Due to the
duration of the rain no flooding was
reported.
Across Eastern Mississippi, Hurricane
Ivan was responsible for one fatality.
This fatality occurred in Brooksville
when a tree fell on a man. Damage from
Ivan was estimated at $200 Million.

Hurricane Ivan moved steadily
northward across the the
north-central Gulf of Mexico on
September 15th before turning
north-northeast and making landfall
near Gulf Shores, Alabama as a
Category 3 hurricane during the
early morning of September 16th.
Hurricane Ivan made landfall far
enough to the east of the Mississippi
Coast to minimize the damage to the
coastal counties, however hurricane
force winds did affect Jackson
County. An anemometer on top of the
Emergency Operation Center in
downtown Pascagoula recorded a wind
gust to 76 knots (88 mph) as the eye
of the hurricane passed to the east
of area. Tropical storm force winds
occurred over Harrison and Hancock
Counties with wind gusts approaching
hurricane force in the coastal
waters. A wind gust of 68 knots (78
mph) was recorded by an automated
wind gage at Pointe Cadet in Biloxi
Harbor, and 53 knot (61 mph) wind
gust was recorded at the Emergency
Operations Center in Waveland.
Jackson County experienced the
greatest amount of damage among
coastal counties. A roof was blown
off of an apartment building in
Pascagoula and at least a dozen homes
suffered major damage either from
wind or from fallen trees. Around 100
homes had some type of wind damage,
along with 30 mobile homes and 25
businesses. Trees and large tree
limbs were toppled in many areas
contributing to power outages in
Jackson County. Wind damage was much
less over Harrison, Hancock, and
Pearl River counties. There were
scattered reports of fallen trees
and tree limbs, downing power lines
and causing damage to some houses.
The lowest pressure recorded along
the Mississippi Coast was 975.6 mb
at 2336 CST on September 15th at the
Pascagoula Airport. However power to
the weather instrument failed
shortly after this reading and a
lower reading is highly likely. At
Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi,
the lowest pressure of 982.9 mb
occurred at 0055 CST September 16th.
Storm surge was generally 3 to 5
feet above normal along the coast.
The highest storm surge recorded
was at the mouth of the Pascagoula
River near Pascagoula with a storm
surge 6.72 ft NGVD. Some tidal
surge flooding occurred in low
lying areas near the coast.
No tornadoes were reported. Storm
total rainfall varied from an inch
or less in Hancock County to around
6 inches in eastern Jackson County.
The highest rainfall total was
6.29 inches at the Pascagoula
Emergency Operations Center.
No direct injuries or fatalities
were noted in coastal Mississippi.
Total storm damage was estimated
at around 10 million dollars with
approximately 80 percent of the
damage due to wind ($6.7 million)
and 20 percent ($ 2.3 million) due
to storm surge damage.

Please see the detailed narrative
on Hurricane Ivan under Alabama,
Southwest, September 13-16, 2004.
Hurricane force winds, primarily
in gusts, occurred over most
interior portions of southeast
Mississippi during the late evening
hours of September 15th and the
very early morning hours of
September 16th. Duration of the
winds producing hurricane force
gusts was around two hours. These
strong winds downed some trees
across the region, some of which
fell onto structures which were
damaged as a result. Although Ivan
did produce wind damage across
southeast Mississippi, this damage
was neither as widespread nor as
severe as was the wind damage over
much of southwest Alabama and the
western Florida panhandle.
