Back-to-back storms — Hurricane Marco and Tropical Storm Laura — will deliver a double hammer blow to the U.S. Gulf Coast this week, where more than half of offshore oil production is already shut and residents from Texas to Florida are warily watching the skies, in the video “Hurricane Marco and Tropical Storm Laura Prompt Evacuations in U.S. Gulf Coast“, below:
For more about the Tropical Storm Laura, please refer to the excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below:Tropical Storm Laura is a tropical cyclone currently threatening Cuba and the United States. The thirteenth tropical cyclone and the twelfth named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Laura formed from a tropical wave that was first monitored by the National Hurricane Center(NHC) on August 16. While moving westward towards the Lesser Antilles, the wave organized enough to be designated a tropical depression on August 20. The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Laura on the next day, but further strengthening was halted due to dry air intrusion and land interaction. A possible center reformation occurred on August 22, as Laura moved south of Puerto Rico, allowing more intensification to occur. Laura then made a landfall in the Dominican Republic, early on August 23.Laura is the earliest twelfth named storm on record in the North Atlantic basin, beating the previous record held by 1995’s Hurricane Luis by eight days. Laura brought heavy rainfall and significant flash flooding to portions of the Caribbean. Laura killed at least 13 people, nine in Haiti and four in the Dominican Republic.As of 11:00 p.m.EDT(03:00 UTCAugust 24) August 23, Tropical Storm Laura is located within 40 nautical milesof20.1°N 76.6°W, about 125 miles (200 km) southeast of Camaguey, Cuba. Maximum sustained winds are 55 knots (65 mph; 100 km/h), with gusts up to 65 knots (75 mph; 120 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 1000 mbar (29.53 inHg), and the system is moving west-northwest at 18 knots (21 mph; 33 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km) from the center.For the latest official information, see:
For more about Hurricane Marco, please refer to the excerpt from wikipedia, in italics, below:Hurricane Marco is currently an active tropical cyclone that affected parts of the Caribbean, the Yucatán Peninsula, and Western Cuba, and is threatening the Gulf Coast of the United States. The fourteenthtropical cyclone, thirteenthnamed storm, and third hurricane of the2020 Atlantic hurricane season, Marco developed from a fast-moving tropical wave west of the Windward Islands and south of Jamaica on August 20. The fast motion of the wave inhibited intensification initially, but as the wave slowed down and entered a more favorable environment, the depression rapidly intensified into a strong tropical storm. Due to strong wind shear, Marco’s intensification temporarily halted; however, after entering the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on August 23, Marco intensified into a hurricane.As of 10:00 p.m.CDT(03:00 UTCAugust 24) August 23, Tropical Storm Marco is located within 30 nautical milesof26.8°N 87.6°W, about 185 miles (295 km) south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Maximum sustained winds are 60 knots (70 mph; 110 km/h), with gusts up to 75 knots (85 mph; 140 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 1000 mbar (29.53 inHg), and the system is moving north-northwest at 10 knots (12 mph; 19 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center.For the latest official information, see:
I am a mother/wife/daughter, math professor, solar advocate, world traveler, yogi, artist, photographer, sharer of knowledge/information, and resident of Windermere, FL. I've worked professionally in applied math, engineering, medical research, and as a university math professor in IL and FL for about 20 years. My husband and I loved Disney and moved down to Central Florida initially as snowbirds. But we've come to love the warmth and friendly people offered by this community and decided to move down to Windermere, FL full time in 2006. I am now spending time sharing information/ knowledge online, promoting understanding of math and solar energy (via http://www.sunisthefuture.net ), and developing Windermere Sun (http://www.WindermereSun.com) as an online publication, sharing and promoting Community ABC's (Activities-Businesses-Collaborations) for healthier/happier/more sustainable living. In the following posts, I'll be sharing with you some of the reasons why Windermere has attracted us to become full-time residents of Central Florida region.
