ReplyDeleteEveryone has seen the rain we've been getting, but we aren't the only ones getting large amounts of rain. In India, their are people who are experiencing flooding. The main area that the flooding is in Kerala. The Indian government is having difficulties of trying to get aid and supplies to those affected. Majority of the people in this area have relocated, but trying to resettle is showing to be a problem. With Northern India preparing for heavy rains and those affected not having the necessary supplies, the government of India has a lot of work to do.

“Hawaii “dodged a bullet” as Lane weakens to a tropical storm” By Faith Karimi, Joe Sterling, and Amanda Watts
ReplyDeleteWritten August 26, 2018
A couple of weeks ago, a disturbance, originally considered a category 3 hurricane, hit the islands of Hawaii. Over a few days, the deluge weakened and is now only considered a tropical storm, but the immense amount of rain caused multiple landslides and flooding on the islands. This storm, named Lane, moved slowly, causing long periods of heavy precipitation and accumulation. Lane is in the top 5 highest recorded amounts of rainfall of any storm in history making it a memorable disaster. Only time will tell how Hawaii will recover from this incident.

In the Canadian province of British Columbia wildfires continue to rage. The fires as an estimated 1,554,475 acres have been burnt. As a result of the raging wildfires, the air quality in the province has significantly been getting worse. There are 56 different wildfires in the province that are apart of the disaster. One of the biggest factors of why the fires are bad this year is because of the dry weather has only made the situation grow bigger.

Many southeastern states have been told to watch out for the tropical storm “Gordon” as it is set to hit the Gulf of Mexico and then head into the lower parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and parts of Florida. They are guessing rain to be up to eight inches with mass flooding. The wind was last marked at 60mph. To prepare for Gordon they have had the national guard help evacuate parts of Florida and Alabama. And for the other states, they have the national guard posted to help in any way they can. They have said this tropical storm could have the potential to become a category 1 hurricane.

Californian Forest Fires
ReplyDeleteDue to California's dry vegetation and its recent high temperature records, there have been multiple forest fires occurring within the state. One of which being the Carr fire, destroying over 600 homes.
It is also the 7th worst wildfire in California's history. In fact, the fires have been so bad that a firefighting manpower of around 12,000 people, coming from 16 different states, are being utilized to fight the fires with sometimes over 16 hour shifts.
In fact, while researching this topic, I found that "firenadoes", which are exactly what they sound like, are in fact a thing that exists.
