This in a nutshell was the main response given by most residents of Sargeant’s Village, Christ Church who spoke to The Barbados Advocate yesterday afternoon following the passage of Hurricane Elsa. A trip around this neighborhood found residents in their small groups on the outside carrying out repairs to fallen pailings and fixing other minor damages to homes caused by the high winds experienced. There were also individuals on the outside trimming tree branches. Speaking to the press, some described the passage of the Category One hurricane as scary.

  • Geographical and Historical Variation in Hurricanes Across the Yucatán Peninsula
    Chapter 27 Geographical and Historical Variation in Hurricanes Across the Yucatán Peninsula Emery R. Boose David R. Foster Audrey Barker Plotkin Brian Hall INTRODUCTION Disturbance is a continual though varying theme in the history of the Yucatán Peninsula. Ancient Maya civilizations cleared and modified much of the forested landscape for millennia, and then abruptly abandoned large areas nearly 1,000 years ago, allowing forests of native species to reestablish and mature (Turner 1974; Hodell, Curtis, and Brenner 1995). More recently, late twentieth century population growth has fueled a resurgence of land-use activity including logging, slash-and-burn agriculture, large mechanized agricultural projects, tourism, and urban expansion (Turner et al. 2001; Turner, Geoghegan, and Foster 2002). Throughout this lengthy history, fires have affected the region—ignited purposefully or accidentally by humans, and occasionally by lightning (Lundell 1940; Snook 1998). And, as indicated by ancient Maya records, historical accounts, and contemporary observations, intense winds associated with hurricanes have repeatedly damaged forests and human settlements (Wilson 1980; Morales 1993). Despite the generally acknowledged importance of natural and human disturbance in the Yucatán Peninsula, there has been little attempt to quantify This research was supported by grants from the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (Land Cover Land-Use Change Program), the National Science Foundation (DEB-9318552, DEB-9411975), and the A.

    U CARIBBEAn TROPICAL STORMS Ecological Implications for Pre-Hispanic and Contemporary Maya Subsistence on the Yucatan Peninsula Herman W. Konrad ABSTRACT The ecological stress factor of hurricanes is examined as a dimension of pre-Hispanic Maya adaptation to a tropical forest habitat in the Yucatan peninsula. Pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary texts as well as climatic data from the Caribbean region support the thesis that the hurricane was an integral feature of the pre-Hispanic Maya cosmology and ecological paradigm. The author argues that destruction of forests by tropical storms and subsequent succession cycles mimic not only swidden —"slash- and-burn"— agriculture, but also slower, natural succession cycles. With varying degrees of success, flora and fauna adapt to periodic, radical ecosystem disruption in the most frequently hard-hit areas. While not ignoring more widely-discussed issues surrounding the longevity and decline of pre-Hispanic Maya civilization, such as political development, settlement patterns, migration, demographic stability, warfare and trade, the author suggests that effective adaptation to the ecological effects of tropical storms helped determine the success of pre-Hispanic Herman W.

  • Hurricane Hunters: Nine 'Brave' Aircraft That Need All Nine Lives
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news HURRICANE HUNTERS: NINE 'BRAVE' AIRCRAFT THAT NEED ALL NINE LIVES News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 As the US East Coast bunkers down for a hurricane hammering, we look at aircraft used by US Air Force Special Operations and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration to fly directly into hurricanes to take the critical measurements that help predict where a storm is heading. The first time the US Army Air Corps flew an aircraft into a hurricane was in 1943. U-boat activity had forced US navy ships to go radio silent for much of the war, depriving US weather forecasters of a highly valuable source of weather data. Around that time, a big storm named Hurricane Surprise was moving into Texas. A couple of army air corps pilots got into a bet about whether they could fly a T-6 into the storm. One of the pilots took the bet, boarded a T-6 with a navigation officer and flew straight into the hurricane. He reached the eye and then flew back out and landed safely. The weather officer on the base asked the pilot to take him into the storm, so they flew back into it that day. Thus, the hurricane weather reconnaissance mission was born. 1. Northrop Grumman Global Hawk NASA’s Global Hawk has a fair amount of experience in this domain, having recently completed the NASA/NOAA Sensing Hazards with Operational Unmanned Technology – or SHOUT – programme at the end of September.

  • Forest Structure and Tree Species Composition of the Grand Etang Forest on Grenada, West Indies, Pre-Hurricane Ivan
    Caribbean Journal of Science, Vol. 44, No. 3, 395-401, 2008 Copyright 2008 College of Arts and Sciences University of Puerto Rico, Mayagu¨ez Forest structure and tree species composition of the Grand Etang Forest on Grenada, West Indies, pre-Hurricane Ivan MARY E. GLENN1,2 AND KEITH J. BENSEN2 1Department of Anthropology, Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA 95521 USA 2Windward Islands Research and Education Foundation, Grenada, West Indies. Contact information for corresponding author: Tel: (707) 826-3126 Fax: (707) 826-4418 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT.—The last comprehensive native forest structure survey made in the Grand Etang National Park and Forest Reserve of Grenada was in the 1940s, before Hurricane Janet hit the island in 1955. The data from this study were collected in the mid-1990s, previous to the devastation of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the first hurricane to strike Grenada since 1955. A total of 584 trees representing 41 species were identified in twenty 2m × 50m plots. Mean tree height, basal area per hectare, tree density per hectare, and species richness were determined for the park and forest reserve. Licania ternatensis was the dominant tree in terms of density per hectare (18%), while Dacryodes excelsa was dominant in terms of basal area per hectare (30.3 m2). Trichillia septentrionalis had the largest mean height (23.6 m) even though the tallest tree in the sample was a Dac- ryodes excelsa (51.9 m). The composition of the Grand Etang forest in the 1990s consisted of a mosaic of stands of different size classes and species composition, most likely indicating varying damage and recovery from Hurricane Janet.

  • Frequently Asked Questions During URI/NHC/AOC Hurricane Preparedness Webinars
    Frequently Asked Questions during URI/NHC/AOC hurricane preparedness webinars: Q: What is the average length of the eye of the hurricane? How big is the eye of a hurricane? A: The average size of an eye is about 20 to 30 miles across; we have seen few that have very small eyes and sometimes those storms are very strong. We can have eyes that are as small as 5 to 10 miles across and sometimes as big as 40 to 50 miles across but on average they are about 20 to 30 miles across. Q: How long can a hurricane last? A: Hurricane typically last from several days to a week or so. Hurricane life cycles may run their course in as little as a day or last as long as a month. On occasion, they can last as long as a couple or even several weeks. The longest-lived hurricane was Hurricane Ginger in 1971 that lasted an entire month. The longest-lasting tropical cyclone ever observed was Hurricane/Typhoon John, which existed for 31 days as it traveled a 13,000 km (8,100 mi) path from the eastern Pacific to the western Pacific and back to the central Pacific. There have also been many tropical cyclones that remained at hurricane intensity for 12 hours or less, including the Atlantic hurricane, Ernesto, in 2006. HSS links: http://www.hurricanescience.org/science/science/hurricanelifecycle/ Q: What was the strongest hurricane in history? A: The strongest hurricane in the Atlantic basin was Hurricane Wilma in 2005. It had peak winds of 185 mph and the pressure was an exceedingly low 882 millibars (26.05" of mercury).
