Tropical Storm Zelda was the last tropical cyclone of the 1991 Pacific typhoon season, primarily affecting the Marshall Islands. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center named the storm Zelda when it reached tropical storm intensity on November 28. The next day, it quickly strengthened to 65 knots (120 km/h; 75 mph), equivalent to a Category 1 typhoon on the Saffir–Simpson scale. Zelda caused significant damage on the islands, and operations at Kwajalein Missile Range were disrupted. No deaths or injuries were reported. About 60 percent of homes were destroyed in Ebeye Island, leaving 6,000 people homeless. Food and water supplies were contaminated from salt in the storm surge, and the water desalination plant became inoperable. Power lines were cut across the island. Other islands in the nation also suffered saltwater contamination and the destruction of most of their crops. Coral reefs were heavily damaged. (Full article...)
