In 1900, Galveston, Texas was a wealthy and prosperous city. On September 8, a powerful hurricane made landfall on the island, bringing catastrophic damage. The storm had winds over 120 mph and a massive storm surge that overwhelmed the flat island. Over 6,000 people were killed, and thousands of buildings and homes were destroyed. In the aftermath, bodies were buried where they lay and structures burned due to the immense death and destruction. The storm was the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history and devastated Galveston, but the city began to rebuild through efforts like constructing a seawall and raising structures on the island.

'Geotube' beach reinforcements inPonte Vedra get mixed reviewsafter nor'easter
PONTE VEDRA, Fla. — Some call it exposing a weakness, others say it’s a sign of strength.
When a nor’easter hit the First Coast in late September, it exposed some of the so-called“Geotubes” that had been installed on the beach-facing side of 13 homes in Ponte Vedra northof Mickler’s Landing less than a year ago. Even before they were installed, the dunereinforcements – which resemble enormous cookie dough rolls – were the subject ofcontroversy.
Flooded in Doubt - Columbia Missourian
The cover story I wrote after reporting on the reconstruction of New Orleans, a year after Hurrican Katrina. Published 08 October 2006 in the Columbia Missourian. http://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/local/flooded-in-doubt/article_ca1e6ab6-ca87-5bf3-af14-73be9abaa593.html

The document discusses erosion at Columbus Bay in Trinidad located between Los Gallos and Coral Point. It notes that historical sketches and photos show there used to be more rock stacks in the bay, evidence that erosion has reduced them over time. Groynes have been constructed to trap sediment and prevent further shoreline erosion. Photos depict the remaining rock stacks, a now-collapsed natural arch, and active erosion along the coast at Coral Point where the road is disappearing into the sea.
Hurricanes In Sandwich
1) The document discusses past hurricanes that have impacted Sandwich, Massachusetts from the 17th century to present day, including damage caused by major storms in 1635, 1944, 1954, 1985, and 2007.
2) It also examines the potential impacts of future hurricanes, showing areas that could flood like Scorton Creek and highlighting evacuation routes that may be compromised if bridges close.
3) The author, Lucy Gauthier, took many photographs documenting storm damage and presenting the risks facing Sandwich from increasingly powerful hurricanes due to climate change.
Coastal Erosion Mystery
Jim and Betty are having problems getting house insurance because coastal erosion from the North Sea has accelerated near their home in recent years. The construction of sea defenses in the village of Mappleton 6 km south of their property has caused erosion rates to increase by 6 times on the unprotected land to the south. Last year, part of their garden shed fell over the eroding cliff edge. Insurance companies do not want to take on the risk of covering property that may fall into the sea due to accelerated coastal erosion.
Thousand Islands
My family has been vacationing in the Thousand Islands region of New York for over 20 years, seeing it as a second home. They typically rent a camp in Fisher's Landing, located between the towns of Alex Bay and Clayton, which offer many attractions for tourists. My dad especially enjoys fishing and boating there. The author watched impressive fireworks over castles on an island for the Fourth of July and notes the beautiful sunsets, saying this vacation spot is one of their favorite places ever.
Linville caverns
Linville Caverns was first discovered in 1822 by two local fishermen in North Carolina. It features over 100 formations, including one resembling an alligator. Bats hibernate in the caverns and continue forming new stalactites and stalagmites. The caverns contain many colorful mineral formations and are open for public tours seven days a week.
Powerpoint presentation
The document discusses how sea waves cause morphological changes to shorelines through erosional and depositional processes. This leads to the formation of various landforms, including sea cliffs caused by wave-induced cracking and crumbling of coastal rocks, sea caves formed by wave erosion excavating weak coastal rocks, arches formed when sea caves erode close together, beaches created by waves depositing sand and soil, and stacks which are remnants of collapsed sea arches.

PROLOGUE: ATLANTIS
“AFTER THE HURRICANE hit Miami in 2037, a foot of sand covered the famous bow-tie floor in the lobby of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. A dead manatee floated in the pool where Elvis had once swum. Most of the damage came not from the hurricane’s 175-mile-an-hour winds, but from the twenty-foot storm surge that overwhelmed the low-lying city. In South Beach, historic Art Deco buildings were swept off their foundations. Mansions on Star Island were flooded up to their cut-glass doorknobs. A seventeen-mile stretch of Highway A1A that ran along the famous beaches up to Fort Lauderdale disappeared into the Atlantic. The storm knocked out the wastewater-treatment plant on Virginia Key, forcing the city to dump hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into Biscayne Bay. Tampons and condoms littered the beaches, and the stench of human excrement stoked fears of cholera. More than three hundred people died, many of them swept away by the surging waters that submerged much of Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale; thirteen people were killed in traffic accidents as they scrambled to escape the city after the news spread—falsely, it turned “out—that one of the nuclear reactors at Turkey Point, an aging power plant twenty-four miles south of Miami, had been heavily damaged by the surge and had sent a radioactive cloud floating over the city.
The president, of course, said that Miami would be back, that Americans did not give up, that the city would be rebuilt better and stronger than it had been before. But it was clear to those not fooling themselves that this storm was the beginning of the end of Miami as a booming twenty-first-century city.”

But it was clear to those not fooling themselves that this storm was the beginning of the end of Miami as a booming twenty-first-century city.
All big hurricanes are disastrous. But this one was unexpectedly bad. With sea levels more than a foot higher than they’d been at the dawn of the century, much of South Florida was wet and vulnerable even before the storm hit. Because of the higher water, the storm surge pushed deeper into the region than anyone had imagined it could, flowing up drainage canals and flooding homes and strip malls several miles from the coast. Despite newly elevated runways, “ Miami International Airport was shut down for ten days. Salt water shorted out underground electrical wiring, leaving parts of Miami-Dade County dark for weeks and contaminated municipal drinking-water wells, leaving thousands of displaced people scrambling for bottled water that was air-dropped by the National Guard. In soggy neighborhoods, mosquitoes carrying Zika and dengue fever viruses hatched (injecting male mosquitoes with the Wolbachia bacteria, which public health officials had once hoped would inhibit the mosquitoes’ .

Boscastle flood North Cornwall Council
This document summarizes a history of flash flooding events in Boscastle, Cornwall and surrounding areas in the UK dating back to the 18th century. It notes several major flooding events that caused significant damage, including in 1827, 1847, 1952 and most recently in 2004 when over 1,000 residents and visitors were affected in Boscastle. The 2004 flooding was described as the largest peacetime rescue in British history, with 58 properties flooded and thousands of pounds needed for infrastructure repairs. While views on climate change conflict, the document acknowledges climate is changing and instances of severe storms and floods are expected to increase.
tsunami[1].ppt
The document provides information about tsunamis, including what causes them, how they behave in deep ocean versus shallow coastal waters, examples of destructive past tsunamis, and tips for preparing for tsunamis. It discusses how tsunamis are formed by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and other events. It also explains that while tsunamis have long wavelengths and travel fast in deep ocean, they slow down and grow taller as they reach shallow coastal waters, potentially reaching over 100 feet high. Examples of destructive tsunamis discussed include those in Hawaii in 1975 and 1960, Alaska in 1964, Chile in 1960, and Peru in 1996.
Natural disasters
1. The document discusses different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, droughts, hurricanes, and tornadoes as well as man-made catastrophes including global warming, plane crashes, wildfires, and infrastructure failures.
2. Specific examples of disasters are provided, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami that killed over 200,000 people, and human-caused events like the drainage of Lake Peigneur in 1980 and the Boston Molassacre of 1919.
3. Prevention and safety tips are offered for some disasters, like having evacuation plans for tsunamis and staying away from windows during tornadoes.
Tsunami
The document provides information about tsunamis, including what they are, how they are caused, common misconceptions, and details about some significant historical tsunamis. It also discusses recommendations for preparing for, responding to, and recovering from tsunamis based on guidance from organizations like the American Red Cross.
The sinking of the eastland
The sinking of the SS Eastland in 1915 was one of the worst maritime disasters in American history. Over 2,000 employees of the Western Electric Company and their families boarded the Eastland for an annual company picnic, but as the ship sat docked in the Chicago River, it began listing due to recent renovations that added weight and improper ballasting. Within minutes, the top-heavy ship rolled over on its side and sank, resulting in 844 deaths - more than the Chicago Fire. Despite its severity, the Eastland disaster failed to prompt significant safety reforms and was largely forgotten until authors began bringing more attention to it in recent decades.

Rising seas
Oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and contain nearly all of its water. Sea levels are rising at about 10 times the rate over the past 3,000 years due to global warming. As a result, coastal areas are experiencing problems like erosion and damage from higher tides and stronger storms. Scientists predict that by 2100, sea levels could be 0.8 to 2 meters higher than today if warming continues unabated.

Oceans cover most of the Earth's surface and contain nearly all of its water. Sea levels are rising at about 10 times the rate over the past 3,000 years due to global warming, which is causing oceans to increase in size. Rising sea levels threaten coastal areas through increased erosion, flooding, and damage from storms. Scientists project that by 2100, sea levels could be 0.8 to 2 meters higher than current levels without action to address climate change.

A former soldier, Lance Martin, saved his home from being demolished as it was teetering on the edge of a crumbling cliff top. His home in Hemsby, Norfolk had lost land to coastal erosion, leaving it just 3 feet from a 50 foot drop. After previous attempts to move the home failed, Martin gathered helpers on the day the council was set to demolish it. They discovered a concrete plinth holding the home and used diggers to drag the home 10 feet back from the cliff edge, saving it just before the demolition deadline. Martin was grateful for the community effort that saved his home.
Good Friday Quake
This is a PowerPoint presentation about the 1964 earthquake that hit Alaska on Good Friday, March 27th, at 5:37 pm. A 9.2 on the Moment Magnitude Scale, this was the second largest earthquake in recorded history, generated huge tsunamis, killed 131 people, and cost over 300 million dollars in property damage.

For each disaster type, the document discusses what causes the disaster and provides one or two examples of particularly severe events in history with details on damage and casualties. The goal of the document is to educate about various natural disasters and some of the worst cases that have significantly impacted human lives and property.
Geography of Pennsylvania
The document provides historical and geographic information about Pennsylvania. It describes the Johnstown Flood of 1889 that killed over 2,000 people after the South Fork Dam broke. It also discusses Pennsylvania's geology, formation over 300 million years ago, containing resources like coal. Pennsylvania has port cities like Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie that connect to major rivers and waterways.
Hurricane Ike
Hurricane Ike was a powerful storm that caused widespread damage along the Texas Gulf Coast in September 2008. Ike made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane near Galveston, Texas, flooding the city and submerging its 17-foot seawall. Over half of Galveston's 60,000 residents had evacuated as the storm's track shifted northward. The hurricane also caused major damage in other Texas coastal communities and killed at least 28 people in the Houston area.
Jamestown, its people and the virginia waters
The English settlers chose the location of Jamestown, Virginia as the site for their first permanent colony in North America for several strategic reasons. The location along the James River allowed ships easy access to dock close to shore. It also provided the settlers with the ability to see up and down the river for miles from the fort, helping them defend against attacks. While the water initially tasted fresh, the settlers later discovered it was unhealthy for drinking and farming, but they remained due to the strategic advantages of the location.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused widespread damage and flooding in New Orleans in August 2005. It breached levees protecting the city, leaving 80% underwater. The storm and subsequent flooding killed over 1,700 people and displaced hundreds of thousands of residents. Repairing the broken levees and pumping out the floodwaters took many months. The humanitarian and economic impacts of the disaster were immense and long-lasting.
Boscastle
On August 16, 2004, the village of Boscastle in Cornwall, England suffered a devastating flash flood. Over 6cm of rain fell in just two hours, causing over 3 million liters of water to rush suddenly through the village, damaging buildings, cars, and infrastructure. The flood waters blocked bridges and overwhelmed the local river, causing extensive property damage estimated at over 2 million pounds. While no lives were lost, the tourism-dependent economy of Boscastle was severely impacted by the flood.
