To my Geol9 students:
I hope you enjoy discovering catastrophes, disasters, and
hazards from your chosen countries. I am really excited to read about all your
countries every week!
Todays’ news of tropical storms (TS) Erika in the Atlantic
and Ignacio in the E Pacific getting stronger reminds me they will be news by Monday
when Erika is predicted to reach Florida and Ignacio, Hawaii as hurricanes (H).
Maybe now is a good moment to comment is the main difference
between TS and H. A TS has a wind speed between 39-73 MPH, whilst a H has a
speed between 74-110 MPH (a major H would have >110 MPH). More information
to be found at the National Hurricane Center.
See you all online-
