    2021 Rio Grande Valley/Deep S. Texas Hurricane Guide

    The Official Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas HURRICANE GUIDE 2021 IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM! weather.gov/rgv A Letter to Residents After more than a decade of near-misses, 2020 reminded the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas that hurricanes are still a force to be reckoned with. Hurricane Hanna cut a swath from Padre Island National Seashore in Kenedy County through much of the Rio Grande Valley in late July, leaving nearly $1 billion in agricultural and property damage it its wake. While many may now think that we’ve paid our dues, that sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth! The combination of atmospheric and oceanic patterns favorable for a landfalling hurricane in the Rio Grande Valley/Deep South Texas region can occur in any season, including this one. Residents can use the experience of Hurricane Hanna in 2020 as a great reminder to be prepared in 2021. Hurricanes bring a multitude of hazards including flooding rain, damaging winds, deadly storm surge, and tornadoes. These destructive forces can displace you from your home for months or years, and there are many recent cases in the United States and territories where this has occurred. Hurricane Harvey (2017), Michael (2018, Florida Panhandle), and Laura (2020, southwest Louisiana) are just three such devastating events. This guide can help you and your family get prepared. Learn what to do before, during and after a storm. Your plan should include preparations for your home or business, gathering supplies, ensuring your insurance is up to date, and planning with your family for an evacuation.

    Awareness of Coastal Disasters: Case of an Impoverished Low-Lying River Mouth Community in Southern Vietnam

Introduction Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries against coastal Disasters: Case of an hazards, especially storm surges caused by tropical cyclones (TC). A storm surge is an increase in sea water levels brought about by high Impoverished Low-Lying River winds pushing on the ocean’s surface, combined with the effect of Mouth Community in low pressure at the centre of the typhoon. Despite a number of prominent events in the past decade, few people inside or outside Southern Vietnam of Vietnam realize the true vulnerability of the country against natural hazards, be it due to typhoons or the possibility of a distant a* b source tsunami reaching the country. There are multiple reasons Miguel Esteban , Hiroshi Takagi , Nguyen behind this relative lack of awareness to coastal hazards in c c Danh Thao , Tran Thu Tam , Doan Dinh Tuyet Vietnam. Basically, since typhoon Linda killed over 3,000 people in Trangc, Le Tuan Anhb, Ven Paolo Valenzuela 1997, no extreme coastal disasters have affected the country [1, 2].

Here U is the 39 uniform zonal wind velocity, N the Brunt-Vaisala frequency, h the mountain height, f the 40 Coriolis parameter, the maximum tangential velocity at a radius of from the 41 cyclone center and Lx is the halfwidth of the mountain in the east-west direction. It is 42 found that looping tracks (a) tend to occur under small U/Nh and U/fLx, moderate h/Lx, 43 and large Vmax/Nh, which correspond to slow movement (leading to subgeostrophic flow 44 associated with strong orographic blocking), moderate steepness, and strong tangential 45 wind associated with TC vortex; (b) are often accompanied by an area of perturbation high 46 pressure to the northeast of the mountain, which lasts for only a short period; and (c) do 47 not require the existence of a northerly jet.

U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph. USS Talbot (DD-114/APD-7) was a Wickes class destroyer that served briefly towards the end of the First World War, but that was much more active as a fast transport in the Pacific during the Second World War. The Talbot was named after Silas Talbot, an officer in the Continental Navy who was eventually captured while commanding a privateer, and later served in the new US Navy. The Talbot left New York on 31 July at the start of a round-trip to Britain and back, the first of four she carried out during and immediately after the First World War.
