  • Hurricane & Tropical Storm
    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.

They had joked there that he was the Yorkshire Ripper. The police used to go round the pubs of Leeds and play the infamous hoax tape of the Geordie voice belonging to the guy who claimed to be the Ripper. They would ask, ‘Does anyone recognise this voice?’ Voices would shout back, ‘It’s Jimmy bloody Adamson.’ By 1980 he was none too popular at Elland Road.

  • Sustaining Category Five Hurricane Intensity by Greg Machos
    Sustaining Category Five Hurricane Intensity By Greg Machos Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere Dr. Alan Robock November 20, 2003 Sustaining Category Five Hurricane Intensity 2 Abstract Category Five Hurricanes are a rare phenomenon in nature. Of all the hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic, these extremely intense storms only account for less than five percent. Nevertheless, they represent a hurricane in its most perfect form with winds exceeding 69 ms-1, a very clear and narrow eye, excellent outflow, or exhaust, and an organized mass of clouds encompassing the eye called the central dense overcast. Fortunately for those living along the coastal regions of the United States, Category Five Hurricanes are unable to maintain this intensity for very long due to internal changes from within the system such as eyewall replacement, and changes external to the system from its surrounding environment such as cooler sea surface temperatures, dry air intrusion, and moderate to high upper level wind shear. These internal and external changes disturb the highly efficient, yet delicate heat engine of such an extremely powerful storm just enough so that it becomes unstable and cause things like concentric eyewalls or lower temperature gradients between the ocean surface below the hurricane and the high cloud tops at the height of the hurricane to occur. Consequently, the duration of Category Five Hurricane intensity is usually brief. Sustaining Category Five Hurricane Intensity 3 Introduction A hurricane is one of the most fascinating phenomena in nature. Viewed from space, a mature hurricane can be absolutely breathtaking with its well-defined eye, distinct outflow, and highly organized central dense overcast.

  • Triumph and Tragedy: the Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (With Charlie Bamforth)
    Geoffrey Publications is delighted to announce the imminent availability of a new book, ‘Triumph and Tragedy: The Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (with Charlie Bamforth). Few indeed are the people who can claim to have been intimately involved in professional football for more than 60 years. Fewer still are those who can justly say that they reached the very top as a player, a coach and as an ambassador for the game. And surely nobody else can say that they did this whilst somehow trying to come to terms with the tragic death of a child. Soccer has been the lifeblood of Alan Hinton since he was a young Wednesbury lad watching Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion, imploring visiting supporters to send him their clubs’ programmes. He left school at not-quite-15 years old to join the ground staff at Wolves. He was, literally, taken under the wing of the legendary Jimmy Mullen and transformed into a dynamic, completely two-footed left winger with a dynamic shot who was top scorer in Stanley Cullis’ young Wanderers team of the early sixties. The youngster never got too big for his boots - and this book gives endless stories of his down-to-earth nature. For example, how many modern players would be making their way to and from work on two buses and going home to share a bed with his brother after making his England debut, aged 19? Wolves fans were devastated when their ‘Noddy’ was let go to Nottingham Forest in 1964, though not so heartbroken as Hinton himself.

Four different quality categories from Wikipedia were chosen, from the total amount of eight, to ensure gathering of a representative sample, for each category there are fifty sentences, the total amount of the sentences altogether is, therefore, two hundred. The sentences will be analysed according to the Firabsian theory of functional sentence perspective in order to discriminate differences both between the quality categories and also within the categories.

    THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF PUBLIC SAFETY _____________________________ MASSACHUSETTS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY 400 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702-5399 Cristine McCombs Mitt Romney Director Governor Tel: 508-820-2000 Fax: 508-820-2030 Website: www.mass.gov/mema Kerry Healey Lieutenant Governor Robert C. Haas Secretary FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Peter Judge June 1, 2006 (508) 820-2002 NEW ENGLAND HURRICANES OF NOTE FRAMINGHAM, MA – Although the approaching Hurricane Season in New England is defined as June 1st through November 30th, the vast majority of the 40 tropical systems that have impacted our region over the past century have struck during the months of August and September. Because Massachusetts is such a relatively small state, it is important to realize that these are not just ‘coastal events’, but, in fact, everyone in the Commonwealth can be severely impacted by a major storm. “New England is in the unenviable position of receiving all three types of Hurricane Threats,” states Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency Director Cristine McCombs. “Depending upon the storm’s track and landfall location, we can experience coastal inundation from storm surge, widespread inland river flooding, and widespread wind damage.” To best prepare ourselves for the future, it is important to revisit the past, and examine a dozen of the most notable New England Hurricanes and their catastrophic impact upon our region. The Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 August 25, 1635 This was the first historical record of an intense hurricane striking New England. The highest winds have been estimated at Category 3 or greater, with winds of 115-plus mph.

SENC 21 CO., LTD. PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a preparatory survey on the Project for Construction of Artisanal Fisheries Facilities in Barbuda in the State of Antigua and Barbuda and entrusted the survey to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Antigua and Barbuda a survey team from 5 January to 31 January 2009. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, and conducted a field study at the survey area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Antigua and Barbuda in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for their close cooperation extended to the teams.
