A dry line moved into eastern Kansas and initiated severe thunderstorm development. Several thunderstorms became tornadic with a total of five distinct tornado touchdowns in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Two of the tornadoes received a rating of F4, two a rating of F2, and one that was rated F1, as defined by the Fujita Tornado Scale. Four other tornadoes affected areas south and southeast of Kansas City. Significant tornado damage was observed from Kansas City, Kansas, to Gladstone and Liberty, in Missouri. Total damage exceeded $144 million dollars. The tornadoes resulted in one death and fifty injuries. Above Left: A map depicts the 5 tornado tracks across the Kansas City metropolitan area. Above Right: F4 damage was noted around 91st and Leavenworth Road. (Map and photo courtesy: Mike Hudson, WCM, NWS Kansas City, MO.) May 8 On May 8, 2003, a long track F4 tornado, as defined by the Fujita Tornado Scale, moved through the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. This tornado began in Moore, OK, moved generally in a northeasterly direction for 17.3 miles, affected areas of Oklahoma City, Midwest City and Choctow. This tornado caused 134 injuries with no fatalities. The General Motors Corporation Assembly Plant was one of the hardest hit with several buildings severely damaged along with 600 new sport utility vehicles and approximately 100 employee vehicles thrown around and damaged or destroyed. This was the first of two consecutive days with a tornado in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Left: F3 damage occurred in Moore, Oklahoma.

May 11 A squall line formed ahead of a cold front during the early morning hours on May 11, 2003. The cold front was associated with an area of low pressure over the Great Lakes. Six tornadoes, 4 F1’s and 2 F3’s, as defined by the Fujita Tornado Scale, formed and touchdown in middle Tennessee which resulted in one injury and $5 million dollars in property damage. Left: The Williamson County tornado, rated as an F3, demolished this two-story home with a brick front and vinyl siding. This tornado had a path length of one-mile with a path width of 300 yards and did $2.2 million dollars in damage.

On May 5, a large area of heavy rain moved slowly across the region. Embedded thunderstorms moved repeatedly over the same locations, resulting in over 12 inches of rain in 35 hours in McMinn County, just north of Chattanooga. From May 5-10, over nine inches of rain fell in the Little Tennessee and Hiwassee River basins, which flow into the Tennessee River upstream of Chattanooga. The South Chickamauga Creek, which flows directly through Chattanooga and its suburbs, reached a record flood stage of 29.32 feet on May 8th. The previous record stage was 28.72 feet in February 1990. Even the Tennessee River at Chattanooga reached 36.1 feet on the 8th. The modern record flood is 36.9 feet observed in February 1973. Damage in Hamilton County (Chattanooga and environs) was estimated at around $20 million dollars. Hundreds of people were evacuated or rescued in virtually every county in southeast and east central Tennessee along the Tennessee River and its tributaries. There was one fatality.

  • The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5 December 2013 Lincolnshire
    OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report The East Coast Tidal Surge of 5th December 2013 Lincolnshire Resilience Forum’s Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report 20th March 2014 1 OFFICIAL Lincolnshire’s Tidal Surge Response & Recovery ‘After Action’ Report Foreword On Thursday 5th December 2013 a deepening pressure system combined with high astronomical tides and strong to gale force ‘north westerly’ winds to generate a coastal surge along the whole of the east coast of England, the largest surge since the ‘great storm’ of 1953. Due to advances in surge forecasting, flood prediction and contingency planning at national, sub-national and local levels we were able to ‘get ahead’ of the storm. From Tuesday 3rd December partners began deploying one of the largest multi-agency emergency response and recovery operations ever conducted in Lincolnshire. This included the most significant evacuation operation in recent memory, the rescue of a number of people who became isolated by floodwaters, and work to ensure critical services were maintained and damaged infrastructure quickly repaired. Thankfully there were only 3 (relatively minor) casualties as a result of the surge, but more than 720 residential and commercial properties were inundated from the resultant overtopping and breach of defences. I would like to pass on my sympathy and support to those whose households and businesses flooded. We continue to work to support a full community recovery, and I commend the work of colleagues at Boston Borough Council who have led this work. In the circumstances this was a very good, forecast-led response and recovery effort.

  • IDOT Conservation Plan
    IDOT Conservation Plan State-threatened Eastern Sand Darter, Ammocrypta pellucida, and State endangered Smooth Softshell, Apalone mutica, which inhabit the Embarras River in the vicinity of the proposed Embarras River Bridge Replacement Project near Newton, IL in Jasper County, IL. 1. Description of the impact likely to result from the proposed taking. A. Introduction The Proposed project is for the construction of a shared use trail in the City of Newton which will provide access from an existing trail to Peterson Park. The project has an anticipated construction timeframe beginning in the Spring 2020 with completion approximately 1 year later (weather and river dependant). The scope of work includes creating a Riverwalk and installing a retaining wall. See location Map included as Appendix D for location of instream work. The total length of the project is 0.81 miles (500’ (0.1 mile) of the 0.81 miles will be instream work). The project will be conducted within existing Right-of-Way so there will be no land acquisition. There will be in stream work to the Embarras River. IDNR’s response to the EcoCAT on May 18, 2018 recommended obtaining an Incidental Take Authorization (ITA) for the state-threatened Eastern Sand Darter and the state-endangered Smooth Softshell turtle in order to minimize or avoid potential adverse impacts to these species. A determination for all other natural resources in the project vicinity can be found in the Natural Resources Review Memo (NRR) (Attached as appendix C). B. Legal Description of the Project Area The project is located West of IL Route 33 in Jasper County, Illinois.

    THE TILE WRECK HER TRUE STORY PETER COLLINGS INTERNATIONAL AWARD WINNING AUTHOR, PHOTOGRAPHER & WRECK HUNTER Celebrating 30+ years of publishing Forward by John Womack DEEPLENS.COM 2 DEEPLENS.COM THE TILE WRECK HER TRUE STORY (The silence of the bantinites) CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF THE RED SEA WRECK ACADEMY For Stephan 3 DEEPLENS.COM PREFACE Back in 1993, when I first revealed the true identity of the “SARA H” at Shag Rock as the SS KINGSTON, the announcement was met with sceptesism.15 years on the name SARA H still appears in poorly researched documents, despite the overwhelming evidence. The same applies with the vessels at the centre of this publication, except that in the case of the MV MARCUS the evidence is un deniable, proven beyond any reasonable doubt and indeed has been accepted by most interested parties (see H2O MAGAZINE, the journal of the RED SEA ASSOCIATION, “A Survivors Tale”) In November 2005 a group of 20 leading experts joined me in the Red Sea for a seminar on the wrecks of the Northern Red Sea. Amongst them were marine engineers, maritime historians, researchers and members of our wreck hunting team with an average of 1000+ logged on these wrecks. Also on board was an all- knowing photo journalist (although he didn’t know the CV’s of his fellow passengers). During one of the nightly presentations the facts contained in this publication were presented to the guests, some facts being revealed for the first time, and the guests were encouraged to dispute the evidence, conclusions and facts, and indeed to present counter arguments.

  • ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005
    MARCH 2008 ANNUAL SUMMARY 1109 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005 JOHN L. BEVEN II, LIXION A. AVILA,ERIC S. BLAKE,DANIEL P. BROWN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, RICHARD D. KNABB,RICHARD J. PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1. Introduction intervals for all tropical and subtropical cyclones with intensities of 34 kt or greater; Bell et al. 2000), the 2005 By almost all standards of measure, the 2005 Atlantic season had a record value of about 256% of the long- hurricane season was the most active of record.

This came just two years after Storm Xaver inflicted significant damage to the east coast of England. Flooding is not a new threat to the residents of the Lake District, but the severity of the events in December 2015 certainly appears to have been regarded as surprising.

The first is around flood risk communication, actions. It is often the case that when our response is including the need for better communication of hazard, put to the test in a ‘real world’ scenario that we risk and what actions to take when providing early discover things that could have been done better, or warning services to communities.
