Evacuation was strongly recommended for areas along the Gulf from Louisiana to Florida, though some residents refused to evacuate the area. On August 17, 1969 Camille made landfall producing the highest storm surge ever recorded in the Unites States and had winds sustained around 190 mph. One such factor contributing to the Camille's freakish strength could have been the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico. The Loop Current is quite difficult in forecasting in that there is no set pattern or location to which the current runs. Within the Loop Current there is warm water that extends fairly deeper than the water surrounding it.
At the beginning of the poem the Earl is presented to us using the adjective "grim" to create a negative figure within the story. Tennyson portrays how Godiva breaks free from the Earls control as she "unclasp'd the wedded eagles of her belt" and she frees herself from the stereotypical contrast. Tennyson contrasts the boldness of Godiva's actions as she "rode forth" with her weakness as the beginning of the poem, shown by Tennyson's reference to the Earl as "her Lord". Therefore she defies the odds and takes charge of what she had to do in order to get rid of the taxation for her people, which “built herself an everlasting name.” Godiva is presented as the property of the Earl who is powerless without him however Tennyson portrays a shift in the balance of authority. Tennyson also tells the story in Godiva through his use of time and form to highlight the greatness of Godiva as she “builds herself an everlasting name”.

(Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 1 to 39) CLAUDIUS: Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother’s death The memory be green, and that it us befitted To bear our hearts in grief and our whole kingdom To be contracted in one brow of woe, Yet so far hath discretion fought with nature That we with wisest sorrow think on him Together with remembrance of ourselves.

The Irish king Matholwch sails to Harlech to speak with Bran the Blessed high king of the Island of the Mighty and to ask for the hand of his sister Branwen in marriage, thus forging an alliance between the two islands. Bendigeidfran agrees to Matholwch's request, but the celebrations are cut short when Efnysien, a half-brother to the children of Llŷr, brutally mutilates Matholwch's horses, angry that his permission was not sought in regards to the marriage. Matholwch is deeply offended until Bran offers him compensation in the form of a magic cauldron that can restore the dead to life.
