Natural disasters like hurricanes affect town and cites all over the United States.
In the last decade natural disasters have wreaked extensive property damage across the country; some of these storms are enormous that form over water traveling miles to reach the mainland. According to Michael B, Sauter, September, 2016; More than 35 million U.S. single-family homes and condos, the equivalent of $6.6 trillion in residential property, are at high risk of damage from natural disasters. Those homes account for 43% of the total single-family residential property in the United States. The human should always be our first thoughts with these events. Unfortunately, there are other impacts on people’s lives, sometimes the loss of life. There are many dangers caused by hurricanes some of which are strong winds with continues hail that can uproot trees, knock over homes and building and potentially toss deadly debris around like signs, and can also flip cars. Storm surge, another cause of hurricane damage consist of rising pressure, high winds and high waves that make landfall.
Apart from the storm surge, heavy rainfall causes both flash and long term flooding. Tropical storms and hurricanes are known to dump as much as a meter (about 3 feet) of rain in just a couple of days, creating big problems for residents who believe they are safe just because they do not live on or near the coast. In fact flooding kills more people than the strong winds do. Here are some of the rainfall
Some of the most powerful hurricanes have flattened. Immense flooding are one of the various effects of hurricanes on land. Some areas can receive up to 20 inches of rain due to hurricanes. The winds of a certain hurricane can rip trees right out of the ground and even move buildings to another location. Hurricanes can cause dune destruction and beach erosion. This leaves the area susceptible to future storms. Actually, the revenue from tourism is threatened when these beaches are damaged. To conclude, hurricanes can be highly destructive on coastal area and populated
Many hurricanes that have hit landfall were very dangerous to people, the environment and the economy. Hurricane Harvey took more than 72 lives in Texas alone. Shortly after, Hurricane Irma took the lives of 30 plus lives in the path of her destruction in just the United States, along with the 24 plus in the Caribbean. The wind speeds of up to 160 miles per hour and the water from the hurricane caused major damage to homes, cars, streets and buildings. The wind caused many homes, cars and buildings to blow over, rip off roofs and siding. The strong wind gusts also blew over many trees. With the torrential amounts of rainfall that came through the area, flooding came through shortly after throughout areas in Texas, Louisiana and Florida.
Hurricanes cause flooding, and heavy rainfall. The flooding can cause property damage and loss of life. The flooding can easily destroy tropical
Here are some things hurricanes can destroy, houses, boats, cars, trucks, and stores. A positive thing is that people know when a hurricane is coming. An effect is that Hurricanes affect people by boarding up doors and windows. Another effect is that Hurricanes can cause damage to buildings and vehicles.
In the novel, The Old Man and the Sea, the author Ernest Hemingway demonstrates consistently how the old man, Santiago stands as a code hero. A Hemingway Code Hero is defined as "a man who lives correctly, following the ideals of honor, courage, endurance, etc. in a world that is sometimes chaotic, often stressful, and always painful.", which Hemingway expertly demonstrates through Santiago's actions, thoughts, and overall composer. To begin, after a day out at sea while admiring a bird that landed on the stern to rest, Santiago is speaking to himself when the fish gives a sudden jerk forward, practically pulling the old man off the boat; "just then the fish gave a sudden lurch that pulled the old man down onto the bow and would have pulled him overboard if he had not braced himself and given some line" (55).
Hurricanes can cause billions of dollars in damage like hurricane Katrina. Hurricanes are like the older cousins of tornados except larger and causes usually more damage. Hurricane Katrina included many detail common to hurricanes created damage and destruction to property, but the area has recovered in its aftermath.
Hurricanes are really just big storms. They can be up to 600 miles across, some wind speeds can go up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes put together heat and energy from all around warm water oceans. There are 5 categories to each hurricane, level 1 is winds 74 to 95 miles per hour, level 2 is winds of 96 to 110 miles per hour, level 3 is 111 to 130 miles per hours, level 4 is winds of 131 to 155 miles per hour, and level 5 winds are more than 156 miles per hour. When hurricanes come to land with the heavy rain they’ve carried, along with very powerful winds, and huge waves they can leave a lot of damage.
A hurricane is considered to be one of the most powerful storms to hit the earth. Some hurricanes take out entire towns. These storms have the power to tear apart homes leaving many devastated. Also it has the power to sometimes destory food supplies and take out electricity for towns. Hurricanes are violent cyclones that develope in the Tropics and massive destruction.
Hurricanes have and always will be very deadly and destructive natural disasters. They are some of the most leading causes of death near the coasts. All of the states that have beaches can get these kind of storms. These storms cause a lot of damage and devastation. Hurricanes can really ruin a person’s life.
Hurricanes are huge rotating storms that form over the ocean near the equator. Hurricanes cause high winds, tidal flooding, and heavy rain. Winds determine how powerful the storm is going to be. Rain causes flooding which causes most destruction. Hurricanes form over warm bodies of water such as oceans.
As hurricanes form, they tend to pose significant problems and have devastating impacts on the ocean, land, and on society. In the ocean, hurricanes cause strong winds to occur which in turn, has a large impact on the shipping market. Hurricanes cause the wind to change direction around the eye, causing chaotic sea swells and waves in which a ship is not able to steer around because the waves come from all
"The Original Reality Show" portrays the late 1800's, an era where cowboys, Indians, and war were the rage. When the Indian war ended with the surrender of the Indians to the U.S. army things started changing in the Wild West. Buffalo Bill Cody was an American icon that had a great life and career. He witnessed firsthand the war and conquering the Native Americans. Buffalo Bill had a passion for the Wild West and war.
In other words they draw heat from warm, moist ocean air and release it through condensation of water vapor in thunderstorms. Hurricanes spin around a low-pressure center known as the “eye.” Within the eye, all is calm and peaceful. But in the cloud wall surrounding the eye, things are very different although hurricane winds do not blow as fast as tornado winds a hurricane is way more destructive. This is because tornado winds cover only a small area, usually less than a mile across-‘hurricane’s winds may cover an area 60 miles wide out from the center of the eye. This storm brings destruction ashore in many different ways. When a hurricane makes landfall it often produces a storm surge that can reach 20 feet high and extend nearly 100 miles long. Ninety percent of all hurricane deaths result from storm surges. A hurricane’s high winds are very destructive and can actually cause another storm called a tornado. The Torrential rains cause further damage by floods and landslides, which can happen many miles inland. A good thing about hurricanes is you can see them coming and it gives people time to get out of its way. The National Hurricane Center issues hurricane watches for storms that may endanger communities, and hurricane warnings for storms that will make landfall within 24 hours. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina killed over 1800 people in the United States and caused around $80 billion dollars’ worth of property damage. New Orleans was hit
“[If] you make me the Princess’s governess, I’ll see what I can do…” (177) the little girl asks the hopeless King. In “The Cockatoucan, or Great-Aunt Willoughby” by E. Nesbit, compiled in Neil Gaiman’s Unnatural Creatures, the narrator draws attention to gender and age inequality. Overcoming various obstacles, the protagonist demonstrates her maturity throughout the journey, where she chooses to make decisions for the sake of the kingdom of Green Land. Saving the kingdom from the unnatural creature, the girl’s actions and maturity serve as a platform in addressing today’s public affairs. In the light of these social issues, I will argue that Nesbit imposes on the themes of Voyage and Return and Coming-of-Age to show how a young girl can mature
Hurricanes can be one of the most deadly and most expensive natural disasters; there are many ways people can prepare for it. Preparation is key to surviving one of these disasters. In order to prepare for such a phenomenon, people can secure their homes, inform your family and make an evacuation plan, and purchase enough supplies to prepare for the worst.
