It’s also called the cornett, which is not to be confused with brass instrument called the cornet, an instrument similar to the trumpet. The cornetto is a hybrid instrument: it is a combination between a woodwind and a brass instrument. It’s made out of a long and slender tube, curved to one side, that had open finger holes. The way the cornett produced sound was by blowing

Ode to the West Wind The poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley refers to the wind 4 times in the first section of the poem, although we do not know until the very end of the first section why and what he wants from the wind. In order to gain the Winds trust and confidence, the speaker comes up with a couple examples of what the wind did in the past and is capable of. Like driving away the autumn leaves, placing seeds in the earth, bringing thunderstorms and the "death" of the natural world, and stirring up

language to his advantage to show the beauty within the wind. He accomplishes this by appealing to the senses; particularly sight and sound are emphasized in this passage. When the winds are in motion their subtle miracles present themselves. Additionally, Muir makes metaphors referring mentioning the winds are Godly because they are in such unison with the forests they appear. The use of visual descriptions tell the audiences about the winds. Muir points out their strengths, “pines six feet in diameter

night when a sudden roar abruptly startles one from a deep sleep. In a drowsy state, one hears gust of wind, tree branches snapping, and a strange sucking sound from the adjacent bathroom. In a split second, a piercing siren begins echoing against the wind, warning all in the town that a tornado has touched down. However, it’s too late. Houses crumble into debris under the fierce twisting winds of the funnel cloud. Roofs fly off and store signs become missiles as nature’s fury does its worst.

weather alert comes out? Hurricane hunters are the people who find and detect storms that can cause potential harm and damage. The dropsonde hurricane detector is an instrument they use to calculate the intensity, humidity, air pressure, and other factors essential to predict the outcome of the storm. Hurricane hunters drop this instrument into the ocean, and immediately, information comes pouring in. According to Harriet Jane Caldwell, "The devices fall to the ocean and transmit bursts of data to the

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

Legend says Atlantis was powered by special energy crystals that let out radiation rays or "death rays" that cause planes and boats instruments to go crazy. It is unknown who created this theory.

During the night of the storm, while the wind, “mixed with rain” blows, and “the heavens and the sea were filled with sounds like human shrieks and shrilling fifes”. The author uses a simile to compare the sounds of the storm in “the heavens and the seas”, created by wind and rain, with the sounds like “shrieks” and “fifes” created by

the storm. The poem continues to question and delve into the anticipation of the storm as well as the confusion that is to come, as our human created instruments can’t measure such arbitrary units. This greatly influences a significant conflict within the poem, a clash between the idea of order and function that humans tend to naturally create,
