Description:Three hurricanes had impact on the west-central coast of Florida during the fall of 1985: Elena, Juan and Kate. Although each caused damage, Elena was by far the most significant. It caused considerable damage to coastal structures and beaches and necessitated evacuation of virtually the entire coastal community. This report documents the nature and extent of the damage and changes that took place along and adjacent to the beaches of Pinellas County as the result of these three storms. The primary aim is not only to show the changes and their distribution, but also to monitor beaches over several months to keep a record of their subsequent recovery. The study was initiated immediately after the passage of Hurricane Elena with data collection continuing for one year.
