    Right from the start, our two essays approach their own topics in their own unique ways, using their own unique terminologies, and describing their individual weather event in drastically different tones. The first essay, What They Don’t Tell You About Hurricanes, starts off by declaring the uncertainty of a hurricane. The essay elaborates on the aftermath of a previous maelstrom that maliciously tore through the coast, initiating deadly lightning fires and horrendous floods. The monotonous way one prepares for such a storm is described almost in a detached, robotic way as if the ones preparing do not want to show any emotion because they know that if they do, all that will emerge is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the known, and an incredible…

    The monument I would create is in Boston, Massachusetts, which is a historically rich city, but I would create a monument to one specific event named the Boston Massacre. This is a significant event in the history of United States, where British troops murdered some Americans after they formed a mob. This partly led up to the Revolutionary War where America fought Britain. This monument would be made of dolomitic marble. It would contain a 20 x 20 replication of Paul Revere’s engraving of the Boston Massacre, and under it an inscription explaining the Boston Massacre.…

    Isaac Cline, along with everyone else in the weather bureau, were the reason that there were so many deaths in the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston. The Law of Storms was referred to repeatedly throughout the book stating that storms would never enter the gulf. This thought was relied on too heavily and was pushed on the civilians as truth leading the the whole hearted belief that they were safe. “...but said his office had received no notice of anything of the kind.” Dr. Young said about the map maker mapping the weather across the country.…

    Last week Meteorologists predicted the category three Hurricane, Joaquin, to make landfall hitting the Carolina’s. Gratefully it never made landfall, but unfortunately the Carolina’s received trillions of gallons of rain from the hurricane. Florence County flooded very badly; streets resembled Miniature Rivers, golf-courses looked like The Rapids, bridges were completely washed out, homes completely flooded, people were being evacuated, etc. Last Thursday night the rain started, it was unlike a regular thunder-storm that we usually experience in South Carolina. The rain was heavier than normal and it felt like the rain was all coming down at one time, the wind was abnormally stronger, and it stayed constant throughout the night.…

    I’ve always loved the sound of rain. Its soft patter against my window releases me from the stresses of college applications, if only for a moment. Then, as quickly as it came, the rain stops its descent upon my window and retreats; growing up in Central Florida, I have been well accustomed to erratic weather patterns such as the rain coming and going in a moment’s notice. Florida’s weather has taught me a valuable lesson over the years: life can be as unpredictable as the weather.…

    This analysis compares the precipitation patterns of six different Florida locations: Marathon Shores, Pensacola, Daytona Beach, Tavernier, Chipley, and Libson. All of these locations vary geographically, ranging from the Florida Keys to the Florida Panhandle. Based on the many physical geography theories learned in class so far, it can be asserted that precipitation varies throughout the state of Florida. Indeed, there are many factors that influence precipitation levels: convection, cold fronts, proximity to the ocean, and frequency of hurricanes. Of course, these are not the only factors that influence precipitation levels, but they are a major part of the process.…

    The forlorn and depressing sky hangs above their young minds, sweeping them away into summer. Although the clouds say otherwise, the teenagers orbit the town of South St. Paul, throwing mud to others in the river and digging up asphalt as they ride, skimming across the streets in inhuman speed. The rain fastly approaches the vulnerable children as they watch the first drops shudder on the ground, shaking from the merciless wind that sweeps the trees and hats off of teens. The school rings the bell, although most have left already, their hands aching from pencil work.…
