Pre-Landfall 1 | Summary
Posting Date: November 4, 2001, 9:33:00 AM
As of 1:00 a.m., EST, Sunday, November 4, 2001, Hurricane Michelle was located about 205 miles (325 km) south-southwest of Havana, Cuba, moving north-northeast at near 5 mph (8 k/h). Maximum sustained winds near the storm center are 135 mph (215 k/h) with higher gusts, making this a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson Intensity scale. The center of the storm is expected to pass close to the Isle of Youth, Cuba and cross western Cuba later today. The National Weather Service expects the storm to maintain its current intensity until landfall and then weaken as it progresses over land.
Using the most recent information about the meteorological parameters of this storm, the AIR tropical cyclone modeling team has run dozens of simulations representing a variety of assumptions about the storm's future track and intensity. The resulting scenarios and loss estimates range from minimal to $3 billion.
CATRADER and CLASIC/2 clients can now view wind speed and loss maps on the Scenarios page of this web site. In addition, event sets representing the full range of simulated scenarios are available for download. AIR will continue to monitor this storm and will post additional information as necessary.
