Hurricane Allen

Hurricane Allen is one of the most powerful hurricanes ever in the Atlantic basin. It reached Category 5 intensity three times, and it is one of the few hurricanes to actually reach this level. It was also one of the only 2 hurricanes to reach 190 mph sustained winds (the other is Hurricane Camille). Allen killed about 261 people and caused an overwhelming $6.5 billion in damages. This video shows the powerful and huge surf along the coast of Jamaica on August 6, 1980. It caused significant damage along this coast. The video also shows the same hurricane in Brownsville, Texas, and you can observe the extremely high winds and heavy rain. The most devastation however occurred in Haiti, where 220 people were killed and extensive damage occurred from strong winds and flooding.
