Poorly attached roof shingles or tiles can blow off.

Coastal flooding and pier damage are often associated with

Category 1 storms. Power outages are typically widespread to extensive, sometimes lasting several days. Even
though it is the least intense type of hurricane, they can still produce widespread damage and can be life-threaten-
ing storms.[11]

of 145 mph (235 km/h). Iota rapidly weakened over land, dissipating late on November 18 over El Salvador.[3] Its
landfall location was approximately 15 mi (25 km) south of where Eta made landfall on November 3.[120]

nos like music in all its forms, from romantic serenades to cheerful dances.

 'Los pregones.' Estampas costumbristas, which represent, in a very special way, several typical
Campeche characters, offering merchandise that they sell in different neighborhoods and streets.
 'Las chancletitas.' The agile chacleteo.
 'The shaking.' He is the forerunner of the Loving Pichito and other zarandangas, written in 2/4 compass of
live and martial movement. Keep kinship with sounds of Mayan influence.
 'The cutz.' It is a turkey of beautiful plumage. According to legend, when the birds of these rainforests did
their parties and danced, there was no mount turkey, which was dispossessed by nature, of its feathers. Until
he was discovered by the pheasant, who invited him to the celebration, and to wrap him up, each of the atten-
dees gave him a feather of his kind. Thus he acquired his splendid plumage. But looking so beautiful, he did
not want to lose his wardrobe and fled. The pujuy, (cover roads) looks for him, stopping the flight of all the
birds and in his song he says: give me back my suit, gentleman! The dancers symbolize the feathers with a
ribbon of color that each one brings, and on the neck of the dancer representing the cutz, they turn them on.
 'Jarana 6x8.' Emerging with a history of the "first dairy", it is currently in the public domain; This version
does not have more than forty years of dancing in Campeche. They combine their cheerful rhythm with a
"'Guapacheo".
 'El Gallo.' It is an indigenous dance characteristic of the town of Lerma. It is danced on May 3, at the feast
of the Holy Cross. Its purpose is to attract fertility in the fields, so they sacrifice a rooster that during the dance
takes it hanging on the back, the only man who participates in it. The women are holding a jícara with corn
seeds that sound like the movement of the dance steps. It is customary to wear a hat on which they place a
paliacate.
 'Son del turkey.' (Seguidilla) is a short-lived zapateado, but very energetic and vivacious. It became wide-
spread in the mid-19th century. They dance in pairs, caught by one arm of the waist, while the other is free
and raised. The dance is characterized by its agility and joy.
 'La Guaranducha.' Jarana 6x8 and Habanera. You can start can jarana, but with the special mode of the
tropics in the guapacheos and zapateados. Halfway through the dance, the Havana rhythm corresponding to
the black influence troupe is introduced; At this time, the couples of ease come off to dance, while they chant
and mark the rhythm with claps. In the end, everyone joins the dance, ending with the jarana.
 'Creole syrup.' The rattling of three churches of the port of Campeche calling for worship inspired the com-
position of this syrup. This syrup is one of the oldest that has news in Mexico.
 'Pichito amoroso.' It belongs to the big genus and is a Zarabanda with which the "Santaneros" began. It is
one of the most cheerful tropical rhythm dances with the youthful bullanguera of Campeche. Can the arms im-
itates the flight of this bird that belongs to the group of thrush, so its jumps and jumps give rise to complicated
figures and accompanied and beautiful auctions.
 'La Jerengoza.' Dance typical of the region that coincides with Las Randeñas, known tonadilla in the
neighborhood of Santa Ana; their music is lively and strident and the dancers, with redoubled step, take wheel
positions and turn making changes towards the center and outwards, or on themselves, to finish with a very
colorful finish.
 'The cockroach.' Dance known as "are of trouble", its execution requires ease and grace, since its rhythm
coincides with those of "choteo", "correteo" and "bailoteo", when interpreting it, the man puts his hands on the
woman's shoulders, leaning a little towards her, thus imitating the cockroach shell.
 'Campechito retrechero.' Jarana that is danced to the rhythm of six by eight; of agile zapateado, where the
dancers show their grace and dexterity and, as proof of this, either in the bushel or on the table, a bottle is
placed on the head, and some of them, trays with glasses and bottles, same, that despite the zapateado,
when performing the dance, they remain keeping a balance that causes admiration.
 'The flower of the malagueña.' This number belongs to the great survival sounds in Campeche, its genre
is dotted Malagueña. It is considered as[by whom?] one of the oldest. It is singled out by the cadence with solos that
led to unusual dance poses, with very airy and light movements. Its structure is markedly Spanish.
 'Creole syrup.' His dance dates back to the end of the 18th century and is also a strong number, has di-
verse choreographies and some quite complicated, but the theme is in the reproduction that the dancers do
together with the Charanga, of the so-called bells of the Cathedral, its end is large and studied.
 'Campechanita Habanera.' This dance is a classic Havana or Cuban chain. It goes back to the year
of 1861 and was danced in all the salons of the time; The dance opens with the salt shaker that characterizes
the campechanos and concludes with a zapateado to finish off.
 'Syrup Gatuno.' Piece considered to be large classic, is a cat; its importance is that only in Campeche sur-
vives in its three versions, because it was condemned to disappear for not agreeing to the customs of its time.
 'The Fandango.' They are large classic, based in Campeche, since the 18th century, and is still in some
regions. Because of its idea of disorder and hustle and bustle, it is interpreted in very lively and cheerful ways
without making a couple or defining with whom you dance, all dance and zap in confusion, marking and chal-
lenging with heel strokes who is closest indifferent to the opposite sex. It retains the Spanish style very
marked, it is written in three-beat measure and there is no news of its copla.
 'Cuban Arabic.' This is a short but very energetic dance, it is written in six eighths and its genre is zap-
ateado. It is danced linked by the waist and with the free hand up, it is always done in the game of two cou-
ples or in even numbers that evolve, heel and valsean with very fast turns and running almost the entire
stage, it is repeated several times, it concludes with a strong blow and displace the public, asking for ap-
plause.
 'Campechito retrechero.' It is the diminutive affectionate together with the traditional expression that
means the contagious joy and the carefree limitlessness of the Campeche spirit, given name to this typical
jarana. The dancers embellish themselves with their heels and infect the spectator, with the bullanguera chant
of an ancient town that has managed to project a personality across seas and continents.
 'Baile del Almud.' Set of mestizo sounds that naturalized in Yucatán and Campeche, acquired the name
of jarana; The skillful heel and shot at 6x8 pace make it very lucid. When running on a bushel, its beauty be-
comes more significant, when the music is interrupted, the dancers continue to zap, taking turns in this fate
to Tropical Storm Julio in the eastern Pacific on September 5.[70]

Hurricane Paulette
[edit]
Main article: Hurricane Paulette

Category 2 hurricane (SSHWS)

Duration September 7 – September 22

Peak intensity 105 mph (165 km/h) (1-min);

965 mbar (hPa)

Tropical Depression Seventeen developed on September 7 from a tropical wave, roughly 1,150 mi (1,850 km)
west of the Cabo Verde Islands. Moving west-northwestward, it quickly intensified into Tropical Storm Paulette.
Wind shear impeded the storm's development, but Paulette was able to strengthen into a hurricane early on Sep-
tember 13, about 415 mi (670 km) southeast of Bermuda. It turned northward and made landfall on Bermuda at
08:50 UTC on September 14 with winds of 100 mph (160 km/h). The storm reached its peak intensity later that
day, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph (169 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 965 mbar (28.5 inHg).
Paulette accelerated northeastward and weakened, becoming an extratropical cyclone on September 16 to

2022), Nicole (2022), Debby (2024), and Oscar (2024).

Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage

Storms of Category 2 intensity often damage roofing material, sometimes exposing the roof, and inflict damage
upon poorly constructed doors and windows. Poorly constructed signs and piers can receive considerable damage
and many trees are uprooted or snapped. Mobile homes, whether anchored or not, are typically damaged and
sometimes destroyed, and many manufactured homes suffer structural damage. Small craft in unprotected an-
chorages may break their moorings. Extensive to near-total power outages and scattered loss of potable water are
likely, possibly lasting many days.[11]

Hurricanes that peaked at Category 2 intensity and made landfall at that intensity in-
clude: Alice (1954), Ella (1958), Ginny (1963), Fifi (1974), Diana (1990), Gert (1993), Rosa (1994), Erin (1995), Al

Devastating damage will occur

Tropical cyclones of Category 3 and higher are described as major hurricanes in the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, and
Central Pacific basins. These storms can cause some structural damage to small residences and utility buildings,
particularly those of wood frame or manufactured materials with minor curtain wall failures. Buildings that lack a
solid foundation, such as mobile homes, are usually destroyed, and gable-end roofs are peeled off.[11]

Manufactured homes usually sustain severe and irreparable damage. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller
structures, while larger structures are struck by floating debris. A large number of trees are uprooted or snapped,
isolating many areas. Terrain may be flooded well inland. Near-total to total power loss is likely for up to several
weeks. Home water access will likely be lost or contaminated.[11]

Hurricanes that peaked at Category 3 intensity and made landfall at that intensity in-
clude: Easy (1950), Carol (1954), Hilda (1955), Audrey (1957), Olivia (1967), Ella (1970), Caroline (1975), Eloise (

Catastrophic damage will occur

Category 4 hurricanes tend to produce more extensive curtainwall failures, with some complete structural
failure on small residences. Heavy, irreparable damage and near-complete destruction of gas station canopies and
other wide span overhang type structures are common. Mobile and manufactured homes are often flattened. Most
trees, except for the hardiest, are uprooted or snapped, isolating many areas. These storms cause exten-
sive beach erosion. Terrain may be flooded far inland. Total and long-lived electrical and water losses are to be
expected, possibly for many weeks.[11]

The 1900 Galveston hurricane, the deadliest natural disaster to hit the United States, peaked at an intensity that
corresponds to a modern-day Category 4 storm. Other examples of storms that peaked at Category 4 intensity and
made landfall at that intensity in-
clude: Hazel (1954), Gracie (1959), Donna (1960), Carla (1961), Flora (1963), Betsy (1965), Celia (1970), Carmen

Catastrophic damage will occur

Category 5 is the highest category of the Saffir–Simpson scale. These storms cause complete roof failure on many
residences and industrial buildings, and some complete building failures with small utility buildings blown over or
away. The collapse of many wide-span roofs and walls, especially those with no interior supports, is common.
Very heavy and irreparable damage to many wood-frame structures and total destruction to mobile/manufactured
homes is prevalent.[11]

Only a few types of structures are capable of surviving intact, and only if located at least 3 to 5 miles (5 to 8 km) in-
land. They include office, condominium and apartment buildings and hotels that are of solid concrete or steel
frame construction, multi-story concrete parking garages, and residences that are made of either reinforced brick
or concrete/cement block and have hipped roofs with slopes of no less than 35 degrees from horizontal and no
overhangs of any kind, and if the windows are either made of hurricane-resistant safety glass or covered with shut-
ters. Unless most of these requirements are met, the catastrophic destruction of a structure may occur. [11]

The storm's flooding causes major damage to the lower floors of all structures near the shoreline. Many coastal
structures can be completely flattened or washed away by the storm surge. Virtually all trees are uprooted or
snapped and some may be debarked, isolating most affected communities. Massive evacuation of residential ar-
eas may be required if the hurricane threatens populated areas. Total and extremely long-lived power outages and
water losses are to be expected, possibly for up to several months.[11]
