Cyclone Forrest (original) (raw)
Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Forrest, also referred to as Tropical Storm Forrest while in the WPAC basin before its Thai crossover, was a powerful tropical cyclone that prompted the evacuation of 600,000 people in Bangladesh in late November 1992. Originating from an area of disturbed weather near the Caroline Islands on November 9, Forrest was classified as a tropical depression three days later over the South China Sea. Tracking generally west, the system steadily organized into a tropical storm, passing Vietnam to the south, before striking Thailand along the Malay Peninsula on November 15. Once over the Bay of Bengal, Forrest turned northward on November 17 and significantly intensified. It reached its peak intensity on November 20 as a Category 4-equivalent cyclone on the Saffir–Si

| dbo:abstract | Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Forrest, also referred to as Tropical Storm Forrest while in the WPAC basin before its Thai crossover, was a powerful tropical cyclone that prompted the evacuation of 600,000 people in Bangladesh in late November 1992. Originating from an area of disturbed weather near the Caroline Islands on November 9, Forrest was classified as a tropical depression three days later over the South China Sea. Tracking generally west, the system steadily organized into a tropical storm, passing Vietnam to the south, before striking Thailand along the Malay Peninsula on November 15. Once over the Bay of Bengal, Forrest turned northward on November 17 and significantly intensified. It reached its peak intensity on November 20 as a Category 4-equivalent cyclone on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale with winds of 230 km/h (145 mph). Hostile environmental conditions soon affected the cyclone as it turned abruptly east-northeastward. Forrest made landfall in northwestern Myanmar as a weakening system on November 21 before dissipating early the next day. The majority of deaths associated with Forrest resulted from a plane crash on November 14 in Vietnam which killed 30 of the 31 occupants. In Thailand, the system produced significant storm surge, damaged or destroyed 1,700 homes, and killed two people. Agricultural losses in the hardest hit areas were estimated at ฿800 million (US$32 million). On November 20, as Forrest reached its peak intensity, fears arose across Bangladesh that a repeat of the catastrophic April 1991 cyclone would take place. As a result, mass evacuation plans were enacted across coastal areas of the country, with plans to relocate up to 2 million people. But the storm abruptly turned eastward, and the successful evacuation of 600,000 residents spared countless lives. Only two deaths were recorded, and overall damage was light, though half of all homes on St. Martin's Island were damaged. (en) Le cyclone Forrest, également appelé tempête tropicale Forrest, est un puissant cyclone tropical qui a provoqué l'évacuation de 600 000 personnes au Bangladesh fin novembre 1992. Originaire d'une zone de perturbation tropicale près des îles Carolines le 9 novembre, Forrest a été classé comme dépression tropicale trois jours plus tard au-dessus de la mer de Chine méridionale. Se déplaçant généralement vers l'ouest, le système s'est progressivement organisé en tempête tropicale, passant au sud du Vietnam, avant de frapper la Thaïlande le long de la péninsule Malaise le 15 novembre. Une fois au-dessus du golfe du Bengale, Forrest a viré vers le nord le 17 novembre et s'est considérablement intensifiée. Elle a atteint son intensité maximale le 20 novembre en tant que cyclone équivalent à la catégorie 4 sur l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson avec des vents soutenus de 230 km/h sur une minute. Des conditions environnementales hostiles ont ensuite rapidement affecté le cyclone qui a brusquement tourné vers l'est et le nord-est. Le 21 novembre, le système a touché terre dans le nord-ouest de la Birmanie en tant que système faiblissant avant de se dissiper tôt le lendemain. La majorité des décès associés à Forrest sont dus à un accident d'avion survenu le 14 novembre au Vietnam, qui a tué 30 des 31 occupants. En Thaïlande, le système a produit une importante onde de tempête, endommagé ou détruit 1 700 maisons et tué deux personnes. Les pertes agricoles dans les zones les plus touchées ont été estimées à 32 millions de dollars US (de 1992). Le 20 novembre, alors que Forrest atteignait son intensité maximale, la population redouta au Bangladesh une répétition du cyclone tropical catastrophique d'avril 1991. En conséquence, des plans d'évacuation massive ont été mis en place dans les zones côtières du pays pour reloger jusqu'à 2 millions de personnes. Mais la tempête a brusquement bifurquée vers l'est et l'évacuation réussie de 600 000 habitants a permis d'épargner d'innombrables vies. Seuls deux décès ont été enregistrés dans ce pays et les dégâts ont été globalement faibles, bien que la moitié des habitations de l'île de St. Martin aient été endommagées. (fr) |
