The political actors who were in charge of the disaster from Hurricane Katrina include, President Bush, FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, Governor Kathleen Blanco, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana’s National Guard,…

The article, “What Every American Needs to Know about Puerto Rico’s Hurricane Disaster” by Brian Resnick and Eliza Barclay, is very informative of the natural disaster that is hurting our nation and everything we are and are not doing to help it. The hurricane caused a tremendous amount of chaos in Puerto Rico and we, as Americans, should find a way to help in this situation. Especially since Puerto Rico is considered a part of the United Staes and under our government. The President has already…

The Dystopian Culture In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, there has been a verified F-5 hurricane that is wreaking havoc on the people of Louisiana. There is one major problem about the hurricane though, it is moving farther North and breaking apart, going through every state and destroying everything in its path. A man named Collin Jones though, has everyone calmed, because he is getting everyone out of harm’s way as he puts his life on the line to safe those he can. “Is everyone okay so far” Collin…

The residents of Louisiana are still recovering from what has been called the greatest natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy: a flood causing considerable damage to the region in this August 2016. It’s true that a large portion of Louisiana is made up of lowlands prone to flooding, but this instance was particularly noteworthy because of the power of the weather and the magnitude of water deposited. The floodwaters beat record highs by as much as 5 feet in some areas, and thousands of people…

They begin as tropical depressions; when surface-wind speeds exceed 39 mph, they become tropical storms (Abbott, 2012). Once wind speeds reach 74 mph, the tropical storm becomes a hurricane. At this point, a distinctive “eye” forms in the middle of the storm. However, hurricanes are not uniform—rather, each hurricane is a collection of individual…

A hurricane is a strong storm that is evolved from a tropical storm. There are quite a few events that happen before the hurricane is formed. First the storm will start to form by gathering warm water from the ocean that will start to circle the hurricane. Next, the water will form into thunderstorms that…

Sights, Sounds, and Smells of Sandy I remember waking up that October morning. It was unusually cold and windy outside, especially for Orlando, Florida, where I was vacationing with my family at a Walt Disney World resort. We weren’t going to let a little cold weather stop us from enjoying “the most magical place on Earth,” so we bundled up in layers and headed out for another day of fun. After a long day full of memories and laughs, we returned to our hotel room and turned on the…

tornado, dark, funnel-shaped cloud containing violently rotating air that develops below a heavy cumulonimbus cloud mass and extends toward the earth. The funnel twists about, rises and falls, and where it reaches the earth causes great destruction. The diameter of a tornado varies from a few feet to a mile; the rotating winds may attain velocities of 200 to 300 mi (320–480 km) per hr, and the updraft at the center may reach 200 mi per hr. The Enhanced Fujita scale is the standard scale for…
