Wind farm

The Devastating Dust Bowl Would you sell your farm if the only weather were dust? Would you stay and try to farm, with no water? The Dust Bowl is a natural disaster that only happened once. There were only a few unlucky enough to witness it. The Dust Bowl started with a drought, but the effects were much worse, so make sure to bring a handkerchief! To begin with, The Dust Bowl started in 1931 and ended in 1939.1 A combination of things caused it, the most frequently known one being…

that had to do with things around it like human error and lots of impact from this storms hit. Hurricane weather conditions. Hurricane weather conditions were absolutely brutal, from the winds, to water, even to the eye and size of the storm. The winds of the storm reached more than 150 mph. In Boston the winds got up to 183 mph. Water in this storm included waves that were 30 to 50 feet in Long Island, NY. There were floods that were 12 to 17 feet of water. Pouring rain all the time basically…

Cracked, Crumbled and Dusty We heard the winds it was eardrum shattering again our thin windows, saw the sky turn black as the night and everything went quiet. I could see the fear in my mother's eyes, I knew and she knew that this was going to be one of the worst storms with a cloud of black dust over four hundred feet high. My mother yelled to me,” Maryanne get the wet towels and, Matthew take cover, it is coming. We knew what we were talking about, the dust bowl. All of a sudden out of…

Through the Peephole I didn’t know what was coming until it actually hit me. Thick. Dark. Massive. Hurling straight towards me like a huge sea of black dust. Winds exceeding any scale. Plants being ripped up from the ground. Me in a thin blue dress with a dirty apron, hair in a messy bun. Trembling. In two feet was my drafty farm house with the thinnest walls in creation to protect me. Of course I was completely oblivious about what was going to happen. The Dust Bowl. It was here in full force…

near gale force winds, as the west wind is the predominant wind direction coming off of Georgian Bay. When John and Lucinda’s youngest, Eliza or Cassie became 20 she married Edwin Hurd (b 1887) on June 9, 1909 and they had a son the next year Kenneth and in 1916 another son Clarence.

Cassie would remarry Arnold Pender (b 1896) on October 5, 1920, Clarence moved to the Armstrong farm with his…

if there is any. You can replace any damaged windows or other pieces. If any branches on the trees are damaged, you can take them off and check if there is any bricks or cement that were damaged. Then you can try to repair your crops if you have a farm, repair buildings that might have been broken or anything else that had been broken during the storm. If there is flooding and you see hail clogging up drainage systems, you can pull the hail out so then some of the water, if not all of the…

oceanic, geothermal, and wind electrical generators. For the past decade, the United States has been investing in many inland wind farms which are located in Class 3 areas. Wind speeds are categorized by classes, and Class 3 is the minimum before a wind farm is not worth the installation costs; Class 1 being far too low and Class 7 being extremely good. In the U.S. the highest wind speeds are around Class 4-5 and are located in the center of the country where these high wind speed areas are…

19 February 2018 Seeing in an Unusual Light The wind howled through the house, sounding as if voices were calling to the man inside. He stood abruptly and ran out the door, its’ hinges screaming as they were pushed to their limit, into the chilled night air. He heard the voices of the wind; the bumping of the rain on the forest floor. The wind howled once more urging him forward into the forest. The branches of the trees dancing in the howling wind, as if calling him to join them in their…

lightly-traveled country road. Not only was the snow deep, but it had been hardened to near concrete consistency by sustained 45 mph winds. The depth and hardness of the snow made it impossible for the township plow to bust through the drifts so we had to wait for the county rotary plow. We were blocked in for three weeks. SURVIVAL BOMBS As a typical farm family of the time, we weren’t exactly in danger of starving. There were plenty of canned vegetables, sauces, eggs, potatoes, milk…

into some form of energy. Wind is one of those forces. It is especially viable in areas that are flat. Wind energy is an up and coming form of renewable energy that will thrive as technology advances. Wind energy is produced by wind turbines. These turbines work kind of like a fan in reverse. Instead of have electricity turn the blades of the fan, wind turns the blades in order to produce electricity. The blades are connected to a shaft inside the turbine and when the wind turns blades, the…
