60 Years Since Hurricane Inez Struck the Caribbean

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Hurricane Inez, one of the most powerful and destructive storms of the 1966 Atlantic hurricane season. Inez formed in the Atlantic Ocean on September 21, 1966, and rapidly intensified in the days that followed. The storm carved a devastating path through the Caribbean, leaving widespread destruction across multiple islands and communities in the region. Inez is remembered as one of the most intense cyclones of its era, a benchmark storm in Caribbean hurricane history. The anniversary serves as a reminder of the region's ongoing vulnerability to powerful tropical systems, particularly relevant as the current Atlantic hurricane season continues.
