[1] By the morning of October 15, the wave began to regain convection and eventually spawned a new area of low pressure roughly 475 mi (765 km) south-southwest of Puerto Ángel, Mexico. [2] By the afternoon, the NHC reported that the system had become increasingly organized and was likely to develop into a tropical depression later that day. [3] Around 11:00 am PDT (1800 UTC), the NHC declared that the low had developed into a tropical depression, the 20th of the 2009 Pacific hurricane season. [1][4] The storm featured well-developed outflow in all directions. Environmental conditions consisting of low wind shear, high moisture content and above average sea surface temperatures in the path of the system were exceptionally favorable for rapid development.
In 1827, Western Australia was established. Major Edmund Lockyer established a small British settlement at Albany known as King Georges Sound. A short time later in 1829 the new Swan River colony was officially proclaimed and Captain James Stirling was its first governor. The colony was proclaimed as a British penal settlement in 1849

There are only 2 seasons: summer from May to October and winter from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85 degree F and the average daytime winter temperature is 78 degree F. Temperatures at night are around 10 degree F. lower. According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chain should get slowly older and become tougher the farther they travel outside the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwestern most inhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeply tough. By contrast, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeastern most in the chain and probably still located over the hotspot -- the oldest bare rocks are less than 0.7 million years
Previous to Andrew was Hurricane Betsy, which was only a level three. The ranges vary between one and five. One is the lowest possible type of hurricane, a step above a tropical storm. The highest is a level five which has gusts of wind larger than one hundred and fifty miles per hour. The devastation caused by Andrew was over a very narrow region

The Mixedwood Plains Ecozone is the Canadian ecozone with the most southerly extent, covering all of southwesternOntario, and parts of central and northeastern Ontario and southern Quebec along the Saint Lawrence River. It was originally dominated by temperate deciduous forest growing mostly on limestone covered by glacial till. It is the smallest ecozone in Canada, but it includes the country's most productive industrial and commercial region, and is home to nearly half of Canada's population, including its two largest cities, Toronto and Montreal. The Mixedwood Plains stretch along the Quebec City-Windsor corridor. At its western end, it encompasses all of Southwestern
Ground water deals with rainfall which is absorbed into the ground and then pumped out. Over 40% of the states water is due to ground water alone and up to 60% during droughts. There are ten major drainage basins for surface water. These include the North Coast, Sacramento river, North Lahontan, San Francisco Bay, San Joaquin River, Central Coast, Tulare Lake, South Lahontan, South Coast, and finally the Colorado River. The annual precipitation ranges from as low as four millions of acre feet to over 56 millions of acre feet.
