Abstract:

Powerful, destructive hurricanes have buffeted the state for centuries and seem to come in cycles. In the 1950s, the state was nicknamed \"Hurricane Alley\" when six strong storms struck in seven years. Hazel was the strongest ever. Now, after decades of relative calm, forecasters feel the cycle is returning, with Hugo, Bertha, and Fran being forerunners.
