Through standing at her window and describing the sketches of nature that she sees, Lowell communicates her feelings of loneliness and struggle of feeling like an outsider. In similar fashion, MacNeice also stands presumably before his window, but instead of personifying the moon, he observes the rain falling and the sound of the rain on the London city streets which inspires him to go on "an imagined journey across the roof-tops of London as religious, moral and metaphysical questions are…
A thunderous exclamation is more pronounced than a timid chime. When there is a thunderstorm, the rumbling vibrations echoing the skies is usually more petrifying than the clashing lights filling the clouds. When a mother scolds a child, the way her voice fumes and heightens make the hair of a child’s arms rise. When a person is terrorized by another, it is not the expression of a livid face that ceases the occurrence, but the sound of a voice that wants to be heard. A craven characteristic can…
Throughout the poem “Storm Warnings” by the Adrienne Rich, Rich examines the deep sense of alignment between storms in the physical state, and those that hold similar ties emotionally within ourselves individually. As the poem progresses through the stages of initially preparing for the onset of the storm, recognizing the immensity of the storm, and lastly taking a place of refuge to weather the storm. The poem continues to question and delve into the anticipation of the storm as well as the…
The Change Everything began at a slow pace on a cold, rainy night in Birmingham, Alabama. The year of 1928 began the devastation in this area. Leaving was not an option for these Alabamians. They were scared to be caught. Nevertheless, their lives were all that mattered at this point. The KKK was the head of all this madness. The year 1929 began the start of a new beginning. Accordingly, the KKK leader, Bobby Bones, was very crazy. He was approximately six feet tall and six…

Researchers are unable to explain why this change is occurring. These clusters or outbreak of tornadoes is defined as six or more tornadoes. Tornadoes that have twelve or more tornadoes in close succession is considered an extreme outbreak. The average number of tornado extreme outbreaks was around 80 in 2015…
There was a calm wind blowing through the still wet grass from an earlier storm. Animals of all sorts could be spotted peacefully grazing in the distance, every once and awhile swatting their heads back trying to keep away the ferocious bugs biting at their flesh. The scenery would distract me for a short period of time, but then smoke rising in the distance or a single rifle shot would remind me of where I was. It was the first day of May, only one more month before I go home, leaving this…
Imagine you’re listening to your radio late at night, when you hear an unsettling beep. It’s a tornado warning! You scramble to tell your family and get them to safety, terrified by the events to come. In case you didn’t know, tornadoes are caused by moist, warm air and dry, cold air clashing and creating an instability in the atmosphere. Tornadoes impact the topography of the land, the economy, and human life in many ways. One way topography is impacted by a tornado is the demolishment and…

addition, this type of aircraft has had a huge impact on the saving of lives, while the LIDAR does not do anything of the sort. During Hurricane Carla, forecasters predicted that "Hurricane Carla would land less thatn 100 miles west of Galveston...the storm inflicted winds of 120 miles per hour..." (Caldwell, 6). This mere prediction of the data brought by weather satellites saved many citizens of the Gulf Coast. However, the LIDAR provides information that researchers could not…
they both share similar makings and features, they are different structures altogether. Both hurricanes and tornadoes occur in various locations, and at separate times of the year. A hurricane is classified as a cyclone, which is a rapidly circling storm system with a low-pressure center called an eye. The eye is warmer than the eyewall, which is the…
