<br /> <br />This September 1983 sequence <br />of radar images traces the <br />evolution of Hurricane Alicia, <br />one of the best-documented - <br />and most destructive - <br />hurricanes of the recent past. <br />The hurricane's rare double- <br />walled eye -essentially an eye <br />within all eye - resulted in <br />storm surge much higher and <br />more widely spread than <br /> <br />expected from a storm of <br />Alicia's moderate strength. <br />Damage due to winds and <br />storm surge - flooding from <br />storm-induced tides and high <br />waves -was estimated at $1.65 <br />billion, but only 17 deaths <br />occurred. <br /> <br />25 <br /> <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br />o <br />z <br />~ <br />, <br />o <br />~ <br />z <br />o <br />iJj <br />" <br />D <br />I <br />() <br />~ <br />< <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />z <br />~ <br />() <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br />I <br />
