  • Hurricane and Tropical Storm
    State of New Jersey 2014 Hazard Mitigation Plan Section 5. Risk Assessment 5.8 Hurricane and Tropical Storm 2014 Plan Update Changes The 2014 Plan Update includes tropical storms, hurricanes and storm surge in this hazard profile. In the 2011 HMP, storm surge was included in the flood hazard. The hazard profile has been significantly enhanced to include a detailed hazard description, location, extent, previous occurrences, probability of future occurrence, severity, warning time and secondary impacts. New and updated data and figures from ONJSC are incorporated. New and updated figures from other federal and state agencies are incorporated. Potential change in climate and its impacts on the flood hazard are discussed. The vulnerability assessment now directly follows the hazard profile. An exposure analysis of the population, general building stock, State-owned and leased buildings, critical facilities and infrastructure was conducted using best available SLOSH and storm surge data. Environmental impacts is a new subsection. 5.8.1 Profile Hazard Description A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] 2013a). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development.

    5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

    157th Annual Meeting | 164 Years Since Organization Year 2017 – 2018 Convention Guide Book Held in the facilities of the WAYSIDE BAPTIST CHURCH 7701 SW 98th Street | Miami, Florida 33156 Join the conversation - use hashtag: #FBSC18 www.flbaptist.org /floridabaptists /floridabaptists 1 Welcome to Miami for the 157th annual meeting of the Florida Baptist State Convention. The past months have been momentous in every describable way for our larger Southern Baptist family. While there are great challenges before us, those challenges bring with them opportunities to pray fervently, seek God with humility and repentance, and then trust Him to graciously use His church to reach this generation with the saving message of Jesus. Faithful is the theme for our meeting this year. In Isaiah 54:10, the Lord says, “The mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you.” Our God indeed is faithful to us. I’m praying that in our lives and the precious churches we serve throughout our Florida Baptist Convention, we will be faithful in proclaiming the Word of God, praying, giving, meeting the needs of others, and cooperating together as we pursue God’s mission. During this year’s annual meeting, we will celebrate the faithfulness of God as He has blessed and used Florida Baptist churches to reach people with the gospel. We will also have opportunity to commit ourselves to continued faithfulness to Him in the days to come and to depend on His faithfulness to uphold, empower, and guide us. I praise God that we are serving the Lord together! May our God move mightily in these decisive days to encourage us and challenge us so that He might find us faithful.

  • 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook
    eVENT Willis Research Network Hurricane Season Outlook 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook: July 20, 2018 This seasonal forecast briefing is the second in this season’s series, released as new information becomes available. In this briefing, we provide an update on how the season appears to be shaping up. Current situation Since our early season outlook, we saw an active July with Hurricanes Beryl and Chris. Hurricane Beryl developed from a pulse of energy tracking East to West across the tropical North Atlantic, known as a tropical wave. Environmental conditions allowed Beryl to attain category 1 wind speeds for a short while before decaying under unfavorable conditions. Yet Beryl’s remnants persisted and put on a final show of energy, briefly becoming a subtropical storm near Bermuda. Hurricane Chris tapped into the warm waters of the Gulf-stream off the Eastern seaboard and rapidly intensified to a category 2 hurricane before zipping up to Newfoundland where it brought moderate rains and winds. Given the active start to the season, what levels of hurricane activity can we expect this year? There are currently no tropical disturbances to keep an eye on, but as the Atlantic follows its annual warming trend into the summer, what can we expect? Forecasts The most recently updated forecasts available from two of the major forecasting centers are summarized in Table 1. Since late May the developing El Niño has come into focus and is now more likely to materialize this summer than it was in late May. Cooler than normal waters also persist across the North Atlantic.

  • House of Lords Library: Gillray Collection
    Library: Special Collections House of Lords Library: Gillray Collection The House of Lords Library Gillray collection was acquired in 1899 as a bequest from Sir William Augustus Fraser (1826–1898). The collection consists of eleven folio volumes, retaining Fraser’s fine bindings: half red morocco with elaborate gold tooling on the spines. Ownership bookplates on the verso of the front boards show Fraser’s coat of arms and some of the prints bear his “cinquefoil in sunburst” collector’s mark. The volumes are made up of leaves of blue paper, on to which the prints are pasted. Perhaps surprisingly, given the age of the paper and adhesive, there is no evident damage to the prints. Due to the prints being stored within volumes, light damage has been minimised and the colour is still very vibrant. The collection includes a few caricatures by other artists (such as Thomas Rowlandson) but the majority are by Gillray. It is possible that the prints by other artists were mistakenly attributed to Gillray by Fraser. Where Fraser lacked a particular print he pasted a marker at the relevant chronological point in the volume, noting the work he still sought. These markers have been retained in the collection and are listed in the Catalogue. The collection includes some early states of prints, such as Britania in French Stays and a few prints that are not held in the British Museum’s extensive collection. For example, Grattan Addresses the Mob is listed in Dorothy George’s Catalogue as part of the House of Lords Library’s collection only.1 Volume I includes a mezzotint portrait of the author by Charles Turner, and two manuscript letters written by Gillray; one undated and addressed to the artist Benjamin West; the other dated 1797 and addressed to the publisher John Wright.

  • July 2018 Climate Summary – Georgia Lauren Holt, Service Climatologist State of Georgia Climate Office
    July 2018 Climate Summary – Georgia Lauren Holt, Service Climatologist State of Georgia Climate Office July in Georgia was characterized by variable but very close to average monthly temperatures. Precipitation was generally above normal statewide with the exception of some highly localized, spotty areas mainly just south of the Atlanta metro area. An amplified upper-level weather pattern combined with plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture streaming into the state to allow for typical summertime convection that kept drought conditions at bay. These afternoon thunderstorms caused fairly persistent days of severe weather reports, including one tornado. Hurricane season continued but tropical cyclone activity was confined far out in the Atlantic Ocean. Atlanta and Savannah recorded slightly above normal average monthly temperatures with 80.8°F (+0.6°) and 83.0° (+0.4°), respectively. Athens had a July average temperature of 79.7° (-0.9°), Columbus recorded 82.4° (-0.1°), Macon’s monthly average temperature was 81.3° (-0.5°), and Augusta recorded 81.0° (-0.6°).
