The street they were walking on lead straight to their new school, the footpath was covered in litter and had tons of cracks. “Revision?” Gabriel suggested as they continued their walk. “I’m Ethan and you are Elijah Whinchester

2017 has been named of the year of the most natural disasters to occur in America. With hurricanes hitting our coasts and financial issues, its no surprise to know how much natural disasters impact economies.

bow echoes and line-echo-wave-patterns (LEWPs). QLCSs are organized lines of convection that commonly occur over portions of the United States (Trapp et al. 2005), and can produce all forms of severe weather, including hail, strong straight-line winds, and occasionally can spawn tornadoes (Smith et al. 2012). Trapp et al. (2005) found that about 18% of all tornadoes in the US are associated with QLCSs. The development of the QLCS is dependent upon the storm produced cold pool and the environmental

Hell Breaks Loose If there is one thing that commuter students truly fear, it is bad weather. For the commuter student, each weekday is a game of metrological Russian roulette; many times you win, others, you lose. We commuters live on the whim of wind, and when she changes, there’s nothing to do but bow. I’ll readily admit, I was probably due for a catastrophe. As a freshman commuter student who walks from home, I’ve only had a run in with the weather once, but that weather was a gift from Zeus
