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.
Hurricane Andrew Hurricanes are one of the few devastating natural disasters, and Hurricane Andrew was no exception. Due to South Florida being the very end tip of Florida’s peninsula it is exposed to several hurricane attacks a year but nothing was like this storm. It was the most powerful Hurricane to his South Florida in over thirty years. It caused severe damage to the South Florida coastline forever changing the landscape patterns. Previous to Andrew was Hurricane Betsy, which was only a level three.

They are very low pressure areas with diameters of over 500 miles. The barometric air pressure in inches of mercury at a distance of x miles from the eye of a severe hurricane is modeled by the formula f(x) = 0.48 ln (x + 1) + 27. (Source: A. Miller and R. Anthes, Meteorology) a. Evaluate f(0) and f(100). Interpret the result.
Numerous wars were fought over trade, because of the great profit it brought to the land. The Crusades were not just holy wars, but they also aimed to take one of the largest trading centers and routes in the world. Trading and the City: Merchant and traders were not part of the medieval feudal society, yet they had great influence in it. As trade developed, towns along the trade routes became richer and richer. Some developed into great cities, such as Paris, France.
Demetrius Cameron Gordwin 07/25/2008 Rogue Waves Since the first ship set sail on the deep blue sea there has been many stories and myths. Stories of pirates and their treasures and monsters that live in the deepest parts of the ocean. There were even tales of waves that were so high that they could swallow a ship and destroy it in a matter of minutes. They called them freak waves or massive waves. But like all old stories and myths, for centuries the idea of such a thing was only a folklore.
The black shirt would also fade over time because the suns rays would eat up the shirt. #2 Question: Which method of heat transfer describes vertical circulation of a fluid as in Hadley Cell? Correct Answer: C) My Answer: A) Why it’s Wrong: Convection, Because of the circulation in the Hadley cell, two pressure belts are created. The first is a belt of semi permanent high pressure that results from the sinking air at 30°. This belt of high pressure is called the subtropical ridge.
To the south, beyond where the Greeks built their temple, the flow had stopped abruptly, providing a fortifiable boundary which gave protection against surprise attacks. This cliff-like termination overlooked the river Sarnus (Sarno), is quite insignificant today but which in ancient times was navigable by ships of respectable tonnage. The Sarnus, which watered the whole fertile plain south-east of Vesuvius, had already before 700 BC prompted the creation of agricultural villages in the upper reaches of its valley, and not far from the river mouth as well. Then, when Pompeii had been founded, the river meant that the place did not have to depend too much or for too long on the larger harbour towns, Cumae and Neapolis, that lay to the north. For the Sarnus gave Pompeii the role of sea-port for the adjacent hinterland.
August 29, 2005 is a day New Orleans, Louisiana and the nation will never forget. This was the day a hurricane by the name of Katrina made landfall. The tragedy was not the fact that the city was now under water, the tragedy followed in the days, weeks and months to follow. The aftermath of Katrina shows the public how federal, state and local governments can fail a community during a disaster when needed the most. According to Bergal & Hiles (2007), “official records show that while Katrina was a strong Category 3 hurricane when it slammed into the Gulf Coast near the Mississippi-Louisiana border, by the time it blew over the city of New Orleans, the winds had weakened considerably.” This national disaster could have been prevented if someone would have pushed harder to have more funding to have the levees made stronger on the federal, state and local level.
