Natural disaster
Tornados occur most frequently in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer, with an average of 800 reported annually resulting in 80 deaths and over 1,500 injuries. The most violent tornadoes can have wind speeds over 250 mph and damage paths over a mile wide and 50 miles long. Monsoons refer to the seasonal cycle of summer moist winds and rain from the Indian Ocean to southern Asia and India, as well as dry winter winds blowing offshore. Air pressure differences cause the monsoons, with low pressure over Asia drawing moisture-laden air northward from the high pressure over the Indian Ocean in summer. Natural disasters should always be taken seriously and prepared for through having emergency supplies and contact plans ready

Crowsnest Fire Good
A wildfire in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta grew into a massive blaze, with flames reaching 50 meters high and releasing energy equivalent to an atomic bomb every 30 minutes. Elaine Hruby was evacuated from her home and watched from a distance as the fire descended towards Hillcrest. The fire burned over 20,000 hectares of forest, hurting the local tourism industry, but provided opportunities for lumber mills to use burnt wood and allowed ecological regeneration through increased diversity and undergrowth.
Wildfires
The document summarizes the ongoing Australian wildfires. It first discusses how fires are common during Australia's fire season each year and are usually contained by firefighters. However, this year has become the hottest on record for Australia, with temperatures 1.4°C higher than average. The fires have caused widespread destruction, burning over 18 million hectares of land and killing an estimated 500 million to 1 billion animals. The smoke from the fires has also caused pollution issues. The fires have resulted in economic damages of $4.4 billion and negative health effects from the smoke.
G8 k-12 Wind worksheet
The document provides information about hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes. It states that hurricanes occur in the Atlantic and Pacific storms are referred to as typhoons. Both hurricanes and typhoons must have wind speeds over 75 mph and are classified using the same scale from 1 to 5 based on wind speed. Tornadoes differ in that they occur over land and form from colliding air streams, while hurricanes and typhoons form over warm ocean waters and require a difference in air and surface temperatures.

Hurricanes
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and require winds of at least 74 mph. They can last 1-12 days and cause significant damage through heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges. Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005 as a category 3 storm, causing over 1,800 deaths and widespread destruction across New Orleans through flooding and property damage.
All about hurricanes
Hurricanes are intense rotating ocean storms with sustained winds over 74 mph that form over tropical waters. They develop from thunderstorms that move over warm ocean waters and require moisture and converging winds. The eye is the calm center surrounded by the eyewall with the strongest winds and heavy rain bands circulating outward. Hurricanes are categorized based on wind speeds with category 5 being the strongest with winds over 155 mph that can destroy buildings.
Maia and Niamh
Hurricanes are large tropical storms that form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy winds and rainfall. They typically form where ocean waters are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and 150 feet deep. One to six hurricanes may strike the United States in a given year, causing billions of dollars in damage from flooding and winds. The most destructive hurricane was Hurricane Katrina, which caused catastrophic flooding and destruction in New Orleans. The Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico are most prone to hurricanes.
Hurricane
Hurricanes are intense tropical cyclones with sustained wind speeds of at least 74 mph. They form in warm ocean waters and are called typhoons in the Eastern Pacific and cyclones in the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes span from less than 100 miles to over 500 miles in diameter and have an eye at the center. They are ranked on the Saffir-Simpson scale from 1 to 5 based on wind speed, with category 5 being the strongest. The two main causes of death from hurricanes in the US are freshwater flooding and storm surge worldwide. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, with most storms occurring in September. Some notable hurricanes to impact the area include the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, Haz
Hurricanes2
The document discusses several major hurricanes throughout history including Hurricane Camille, Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Mitch, and the Galveston Hurricane of 1900. Hurricane Camille struck the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 1969 with storm surges over 24 feet. Hurricane Andrew left Florida in 1992 with widespread destruction. Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes to hit the United States, causing catastrophic damage along the Gulf Coast from storm surges up to 30 feet. Hurricane Mitch stalled off Honduras in 1998, causing massive flooding and over 10,000 deaths, making it the deadliest Atlantic hurricane in 200 years. The 1900 Galveston Hurricane made landfall in Texas with category 4 winds and a
Hurricanes
1) Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and require specific conditions including high heat, humidity, and low wind shear.
2) Hurricanes develop through several stages from formative to mature as the eye forms and winds intensify.
3) Hurricanes can cause both short term damage through winds and flooding as well as long term destruction through landscape alterations.
Weather
Rain forms when water evaporates into clouds, condenses into droplets, and precipitates down as rain. Hurricanes are strong winds formed by heat at the equator that can erode rocks and dirt to form hills and mountains. Both rain and hurricanes weather rocks through erosion, moving sediment and contributing to landscape changes over time.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful storms that form over warm ocean waters and move toward land. They have several stages including tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane. Hurricanes are categorized on a scale from 1 to 5 based on their wind speeds, with category 5 being the strongest. Hurricane Katrina was a devastating category 5 hurricane that hit Louisiana, Florida, and the Bahamas in August 2005, killing over 1,800 people and causing $75 billion in damage over 8 days.
hurricanes
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and rotate counter-clockwise as they gain strength. They are classified using the Saffir-Simpson scale based on their wind speeds and potential to cause damage. Hurricane hunters fly planes through hurricanes to measure characteristics like wind speed and direction that help forecasters warn coastal communities. When hurricanes make landfall, their strong winds and heavy rain can cause widespread flooding and property damage.
PHS WHarrod Hurricane Floyd
Tropical Storms form over warm ocean waters between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn when sea temperatures exceed 27°C. On average, 84 tropical storms form worldwide each year, most occurring in the North Pacific Ocean. Tropical Storm Floyd formed in September 1999 and struck North Carolina as a Category 4 hurricane with winds up to 250 km/h, dropping over 500mm of rain. Floyd caused extensive flooding and over $5 billion in damage, killing 57 people across several eastern U.S. states and The Bahamas. The storm surge and freshwater runoff from Floyd disrupted marine ecosystems in North Carolina.
Hurricane Facts (Updated May 2011)
This is a presentation about hurricanes and what to do to prepare for them. This version contains the latest information.
Hurricane season 2010
The document discusses hurricane season 2010 forecasts from various weather forecasting organizations. The Colorado State University forecast predicted 18 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and 5 major hurricanes, with increased chances of a major hurricane making landfall along the East and Gulf coasts compared to the 20th century average. AccuWeather's forecast was similar at 16-18 named storms and 2-3 major hurricanes making US landfall. Other forecasts predicted slightly fewer named storms and hurricanes.
Presentation4
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and can cause extensive damage when making landfall. During hurricane season from July to November, coastal communities take precautions like improving building designs to withstand high winds and evacuating vulnerable areas when storms approach. Predicting hurricane paths and intensity remains challenging, though meteorologists monitor developing storms and issue watches and warnings to help minimize harm from these natural disasters.
Tropical Storms 2
The document discusses tropical storms and hurricanes, including:
1. The Saffir-Simpson scale which categorizes hurricanes based on wind speed intensity from 1 to 5.
2. The primary impacts of hurricanes include high winds, intense rainfall causing flooding, and storm surge which can result in 90% of hurricane deaths.
3. Prediction of hurricanes is limited but seasonal forecasts can provide estimates of overall storm activity for a given season, while short term forecasts track individual storms. Landfall location is difficult to predict due to variable storm tracks.
Hurricanes
Tropical cyclones are rotating storms that form over warm ocean waters and are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. They have very strong winds that spiral inward toward the eye, where winds are light and skies are clear. The strongest winds and heaviest rains occur in the eyewall that surrounds the eye. Hurricanes are categorized on a scale of 1 to 5 based on their wind speeds, with category 3 or higher considered major hurricanes that can cause extensive damage. Climate change is expected to increase hurricane intensity by raising ocean temperatures.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful cyclonic storms that form over warm ocean waters and have sustained winds over 74 mph. They have a counter-clockwise rotation and low atmospheric pressure at the center. The hurricane season runs from June to November in the Atlantic. Hurricanes gain their energy from heat released by water evaporation. They have an eye, rainbands spiraling inward, and outer bands spiraling outward. Strength is measured by wind speed and pressure. The costliest hurricanes in recent US history have caused extensive damage and flooding due to increased development in vulnerable coastal areas.
Severe Weather Presentation
The document provides information on severe weather safety and encourages becoming a storm spotter to help the National Weather Service (NWS) provide accurate warnings. It notes that spotters are needed to report ground truth observations to bridge the gap between radar and actual conditions. Spotters can help reduce injuries and deaths from severe weather by assisting the NWS warning process.
Managing Hazards Revision
The document discusses natural hazards including tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, and their management. It provides case studies of specific hazard events, such as Hurricane Floyd in the USA, the 1999 Orissa cyclone in India, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan, the 1999 Izmit earthquake in Turkey, and the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. For each case, it summarizes the location and effects of the event, and discusses predictions, preparations, responses, and management solutions to limit damage from future hazards.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are intense, rotating oceanic storms that form over warm tropical waters and can have very strong winds up to 60 mph. They require warm ocean waters, atmospheric moisture from evaporation, and wind patterns near the surface to form. Famous Hurricane Hugo in 1989 was a category 5 hurricane with 140 mph winds that caused extensive damage as it traveled from the Virgin Islands to South Carolina over two weeks, destroying homes, cars, crops, and killing many people and animals. Hurricanes can cause major damage through strong winds, heavy rain, and flooding that can take weeks or months to clean up.
What is a Hurricane?
The document discusses hurricanes and provides information on their definition, history in Florida, tracking, and impacts. It defines a hurricane as a tropical storm with winds over 74 mph. It notes that southwest Florida is highly vulnerable to hurricanes due to its historical occurrences. Between 1873 and 1993, the region experienced 49 hurricanes, though some early storms may have been of lower intensity. The document also describes how the Gulfstream-IV jet is used to track hurricanes and better predict landfalls and intensities. It lists the main impacts hurricanes bring as high winds, heavy rain, tornadoes, and lightning.
Hurricane
Hurricanes are large tropical storms that develop over warm ocean waters and gain energy from the heat. They are classified into 5 categories based on their wind speeds, with category 4 and 5 hurricanes being the strongest. During hurricane season from June to November, the United States is at risk of being hit by these storms, which can cause heavy rain, strong winds, flooding from storm surges, and damage to buildings, cars, and trees. Meteorologists closely monitor hurricanes as they approach coastal areas.
Severe Weather
Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds that form over warm ocean waters. They require warm ocean temperatures of at least 79 degrees Fahrenheit, moisture from the sea evaporating into the warm air, and wind patterns near the ocean's surface that pull winds inward. Hurricanes can last up to 8 days and become very destructive at higher categories, with Category 5 being the strongest designation for a hurricane with sustained winds over 155 mph. Hurricane Katrina, a Category 5 storm, caused massive damage of over $100 million and loss of over 1,800 lives when it struck New Orleans in August 2005.

Cyclone
Cyclones form when warm, moist air rises and cooler air rushes in to take its place, causing the air to spin in tight circles. They rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. India is highly vulnerable to cyclones, which can affect over 300 million people annually. Disaster management involves organizing resources and responsibilities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from humanitarian aspects of emergencies in order to lessen disaster impacts.
Stormy
1) The document describes experiments conducted to observe the eye of a hurricane created in a bowl of water. Paper clips and pieces of paper were placed in different areas and their movement was observed.
2) Key findings were that the area called the "eye wall" closest to the center of the hurricane spun faster than areas farther out, and that winds are strongest closest to the eye.
3) Safety precautions for hurricanes are discussed, including preparing an emergency kit, securing homes, and evacuating if instructed.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes can cause extensive damage and loss of life. The most extreme tornadoes can reach wind speeds over 300 mph and stay on the ground for dozens of miles. Areas most prone to tornadoes include parts of North America, South Africa, Europe, Australia, and Asia. If a tornado is approaching, it is important to go to the lowest level of a building, interior room or basement and protect yourself. The 1974 Super Outbreak was the largest tornado outbreak on record with 148 confirmed tornadoes over multiple days, including 30 F4 or F5 strength tornadoes. It was also the deadliest tornado outbreak until 2011, causing

It notes that hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and are classified using the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speed and potential damage. Many organizations work to track hurricanes and predict their paths to better prepare communities.
Tornados can hurt everyone so teach it !
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes form from thunderstorms when warm, moist air collides with cool, dry air, causing instability. The typical tornado is 15 miles wide and lasts 30 minutes. Tornado Alley in the central US has the highest risk of tornadoes. Tornadoes are most common between March and June and between 3-9pm. They can be classified by wind speed and damage on the Fujita scale from F0 to F5. Waterspouts are weak tornadoes that form over water.

Weather Phenomena by Ali Hussain
This document discusses three weather phenomena: tornadoes, lightning, and hurricanes. It provides information on how each forms and its potential impacts. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms and can have winds over 250 mph, destroying buildings and flinging cars. Lightning forms in charged storm clouds and can damage electronics even from a distance. Hurricanes originate over warm ocean waters and have potential to be the most dangerous, causing widespread property damage, storm surges, and loss of life from high winds and flooding.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
