Though Andrew was a small tropical cyclone for most of its lifespan, it caused extreme damage, especially in the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana. The vast majority of the damage was as a result of extremely high winds, although a few tornadoes spawned by Andrew caused considerable damage in Louisiana. Throughout the areas affected, almost 177,000 people were left homeless. Outside of the Bahamas, Florida, and Louisiana, effects were widespread, although damage was minimal. Overall, $26.5 billion

get very cold, you will see many surfers along the gulf beaches when a cold front comes through. These winter swells generally begin with strong south winds and choppy surf. Make no mistake, surfers in the gulf take advantage of any opportunity to catch a wave. As the cold front moves across the state, the winds will switch to a west or north-west direction that can lead to some great waves and cold weather. This year, surfers benefited greatly from the El Nino weather pattern. Many days of favorable

are giant tropical storms over the warm moist waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the equator with strong winds that can grow speeds of over 160 miles per hour. The winds move in a counterclockwise direction north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator. When the winds in the rotating storm reach 39 mph, the storm is called a "tropical storm." And when the wind speeds reach 74 mph, the storm is officially a "tropical cyclone," or hurricane. The peaceful center of the hurricane

“Why not? Being homeless is an adventure” (161). Therefore, the Joshua tree’s management to stay alive through turbulent climate compares and symbolizes Rose Mary’s optimistic character. When life threw lemons towards the Joshua tree in the form of wind and sand, the Joshua tree made lemonade by creating a mutualistic connection amongst itself and nature by growing sideways. The life of the Joshua tree points out how good always outshines bad which is what made it “one of the most beautiful trees

The Great Hurricane of 1938, or known to many as the Long Island Express, was known as one of the most disastrous hurricanes to hit New England. It wasn’t the high winds, heavy rain, and high waves/storm surge that gave this hurricane its title in history. The Great Hurricane had a fourth deadly weapon; the element of surprise. It was the beginning of September, a time where many packed up their summer clothes, boarded up their houses, and left to return back to the real world leaving their summer

variations in day and night alike and seasonal (summer-winter) temperatures and precipitation (rainfall, snow) which is scarce, unreliable and irregular, but may nevertheless cause severe floods. Winter prevails in which dust, sand storms and cold winds. The intensity of solar radiation is very high and enhances the radiation emitted from the ground. This climate below air humidity in general and is healthier than warm moist ground. Different climatic zone scans are distinguished from the desert areas

into a category 1 hurricane, they increase in intensity, they go all the way through a category 5 hurricane. Category 1 hurricanes have a wind speed of up to 95 mph. A category 2 hurricane has wind speeds of up to 110 mph. Category 3 hurricanes reach up to 129 mph. A category 4 hurricane reaches up to 156 mph. The deadliest hurricane, a category 5 exceeds wind speeds anything above 157 mph. A hurricanes only form over warm waters. Damp air fuels the forming storm. The warm air gets water from the

currents are? Forces are responsible for the movement of ocean water is wind, sun heat, gravity and the density of the water. The forces and factor influence the direction and how strong the ocean are gravity, Coriolis Effect also the the shape of the ocean basins. What is a gyre? How many large gyres exist in the world ocean? Where are they located? Gyre is the connection between the currents that are created by all the wind from the outside of the edges of the ocean basins. It’s most likely located

my garden and recording what I found. The warmest place was site 3 with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius In site 3 there is a low albedo so heat is absorbed therefore the temperature is higher here on a warm day the aspect of this site is south west so this results in this part of the garden being warmer, because places facing the sun are warmer than those in the shadows, in Britain the sun rises in the east and moves through the south, so at midday the sun would be directly facing south making

pick up the ball, and stand, the day changed. No birds sang, no insects buzzed, nothing. “There’s no wind,” I said aloud. It seemed as if the earth had sucked in all the air around me. The hair on my arms stood up. The poplar leaves hung still. I looked around me slowly, as if in a dream. Across Palmer’s fields, where the sun went down, the sky had darkened. I started walking there, towards the west. The tall grass in front of me was still. I could hear myself breathing. The farmland shimmered in
