In 1985, Hurricane Gloria recurved northeastward along the U.S. East Coast and traveled quickly just east of the coastline for hundreds of miles. East Coast residents braced for a fearful storm; a Boston radio station even played a marathon of songs titled “Gloria” in anticipation. But in the end, most inland residents were disappointed, saying that the winds were much less than they had expected. Using a map of the U.S. and your understanding of the relationship between total storm winds and the forward motion of the storm, explain why the inland residents experienced relatively weak winds from this strong hurricane.
