Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina started as a tropical storm near Florida in 2005 and rapidly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane as it hit the Gulf of Mexico. It caused catastrophic damage along the Gulf Coast through strong winds up to 175 mph and severe flooding. Over 1,000 lives were lost and many homes and buildings were destroyed by the hurricane's high winds and storm surge. Infrastructure was overwhelmed and recovery efforts were hampered, making Katrina one of the costliest and deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.
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
Tornadoes - Milena Muñoz
A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. The Tri-State Tornado of 1925 was one of the worst on record, killing 695 people as it traveled over 480 kilometers through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana in just 3.5 hours, with estimated wind speeds over 400 kilometers per hour, making it the deadliest single tornado in U.S. history.
Natural Disasters:Hurricane irene
Hurricane Irene formed in the Lesser Antilles in August 2011 and traveled up the U.S. East Coast, causing over $16 billion in damages and 51 deaths. The category 3 hurricane had maximum sustained winds of 120 mph and a minimum pressure of 942 mbar. It destroyed homes, hospitals, schools and infrastructure across the Caribbean, Bahamas, Eastern U.S. and Eastern Canada before dissipating on August 28th after 10 days as a powerful storm.
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.
Tornadoes natural disaster
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They come in different shapes and sizes, with wind speeds that can exceed 300 mph. The deadliest tornadoes include the 1925 Tri-State Tornado that killed 695 people across multiple US states over 219 miles, and the 1989 Daulatpur-Saturnia Tornado in Bangladesh that killed over 1,300 people and destroyed 90% of homes across a 50 mile path. Proper tornado safety is to seek shelter in a basement, interior room or the lowest level of a building.
Hurricane Charley
Hurricane Charley was a powerful hurricane that hit Florida in 2004. It made landfall as a Category 4 storm with winds up to 150 mph, causing extensive damage estimated at $16-19 billion. Over 150 people were killed and thousands more injured when Charley struck Florida as the strongest hurricane to hit the state since Hurricane Andrew in 1992. After forming in the Caribbean, Charley traveled through Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, and Cuba before making its devastating landfall in Florida.

Tornadoes
Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes but are typically visible as a condensation funnel. The most extreme tornadoes can reach over 300 mph and stretch over 2 miles wide. The deadliest tornado in U.S. history was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado that killed 695 people across multiple states over a continuous 352 km track.
Hurricanes
The document discusses several devastating hurricanes that caused significant damage, including Hurricane Hugo in 1989 which was a category 5 hurricane that impacted Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, killing over 50 people and causing billions in damage. Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was also a powerful category 5 hurricane that caused widespread damage across the Caribbean. Hurricane Dean in 2007 was another intense category 5 hurricane that impacted Mexico.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from supercell thunderstorms as wind mixes and creates a funnel that grows faster and faster, lowering air pressure and sucking in air and objects at speeds up to 200 mph. They can destroy anything in their path, such as homes, buildings, and farms, as seen with the 1998 Kissimmee tornado in Florida that killed 42 people and injured 260 others over its path from Lake County to Bervard County.
How a hurricane occurs
The document describes how hurricanes form and cause destruction. It explains that warm ocean waters provide energy for hurricanes to develop through increased evaporation and rising moist air. As winds converge, they force the air to rise, creating clouds and rotation. Once formed, outer winds steer the hurricane and allow it to strengthen. Hurricanes generate powerful winds and heavy rains that can demolish infrastructure and kill plants.

Tornadoes are localized, violently destructive windstorms characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud extending to the ground. They most commonly occur in the central United States, forming from thunderstorms when hot and cold air mix. Tornadoes can be classified as either water-supported or land-supported, with land-supported tornadoes causing more damage upon contact with the ground. Tornadoes pose serious risks, as they are capable of causing significant property damage, injuries, and loss of human life.
3.1 - Seasons And Weather
The document summarizes different types of seasons, weather phenomena, and natural disasters:
1) Seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt and revolve around the summer and winter solstices when the sun is directly overhead either the Tropic of Cancer or Capricorn.
2) Weather is influenced by factors like water vapor, landforms, elevation, and air movement. It involves different types of precipitation including snow, rain, and hurricanes.
3) Natural disasters discussed include hurricanes which form over warm ocean waters, tornadoes which can have wind speeds over 300 mph, blizzards with heavy snow and winds, droughts with little rain, and floods from excess rain or runoff.
The 2012 Gulf Hurricane Season
This document discusses hurricane hazards and the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season outlook. It summarizes the typical hazards from hurricanes including storm surge, high winds, flooding rains, and tornadoes. It then reviews past hurricane seasons and typical activity levels. Finally, it provides the 2012 hurricane season outlook from various forecasting groups, most predicting a below average season with 10-11 named storms and 4-6 hurricanes.
Hurricanes
A hurricane is a strong tropical storm with high winds and heavy rain that forms over warm ocean waters. Five conditions are needed for a hurricane to form: warm air temperatures over 83°F, rising humid air, winds flowing inward and upward, humid air for storm clouds, and outer winds to move and grow the storm. Hurricanes can be dangerous because they bring strong winds that can knock down buildings, flooding from heavy rain, and tornadoes. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes, killing over 1,800 people when it hit New Orleans in 2005 and caused widespread destruction through storm surges and winds over 30 feet high.
Tsunamis by Alain Romeo, 3.02
Tsunamis are formed by earthquakes under the sea which cause tectonic plates to shift. They can cause immense destruction through loss of life and damage to infrastructure like homes, shops, and power plants. The aftermath is devastating as it can take significant time and money to recover from tsunami damage by removing debris, retrieving bodies, and rebuilding destroyed structures while economic activities are disrupted.
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina caused over $90 billion in damage and killed more than 1,800 people when it hit the southern United States and Louisiana as a category 5 storm in August 2005. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters in American history, devastating much of the region around Louisiana and becoming the costliest hurricane on record at the time. The hurricane formed in the Bahamas in late August 2005 and made landfall on the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts as a strong category 3 storm, but caused catastrophic damage due to severe flooding after levee failures in New Orleans.
Weather Hurricane
Hurricanes form over warm tropical oceans where the sea surface temperature exceeds 27 degrees Celsius. They tend to occur in late summer and early autumn when ocean temperatures are warmest. Global warming may be increasing ocean temperatures and making hurricanes more common and severe. Hurricane Katrina formed over the warm Gulf of Mexico in late August 2005, intensifying to a Category 5 storm before causing catastrophic damage when it made landfall in New Orleans. With winds over 150 mph and a 25-foot storm surge, Katrina was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, causing nearly $75 billion in damage.
Science prjt 3
Tsunamis are large waves generated by earthquakes or other disturbances that displace large volumes of water. They can reach beaches in minutes and cause extensive damage. A major 2004 tsunami in Sri Lanka killed over 40,000 people after an earthquake in the Indian Ocean. Hurricanes are violent tropical storms with winds over 74 mph that form over warm ocean waters and move westward. They can only dissipate over land or cooler waters. Floods occur when water overflows river banks or other areas, sometimes within hours but sometimes over days, causing billions in annual damage in the US. Drought is a period of unusually dry weather lacking precipitation that can last years and seriously damage crops and water supplies. Tornadoes form from thunder
Tornado investigation
The document discusses tornadoes, including the strongest tornado in US history. It notes that the Reno tornado in May 2013 had winds of 302 mph, setting the world record. It describes how tornadoes form through rotating air caused by wind shear and a developing funnel cloud. The document also provides a table classifying tornado strength based on wind speed and associated damage, with the strongest category of F5 having incredible damage from winds over 420 kph.
Hurricane information
Hurricanes are intense rotating storms that form over tropical oceans. They are known as tropical cyclones and are classified based on wind speed as either a tropical depression, tropical storm, or hurricane. Hurricanes gain their strength from warm ocean waters which provide heat and moisture, with wind speeds caused to rotate by the Coriolis effect of the Earth's rotation. Hurricane damage primarily results from strong winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge which can flood coastal areas.
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.
Tornados
Tornados form when warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cool, dry air from Canada, creating instability in the atmosphere. A tornado is a violent rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground, with wind speeds up to 300 miles per hour that can uproot trees, destroy buildings, and hurl vehicles. Safe places during a tornado include underground locations like basements, while being outside or under a tree are unsafe.
Iran Bomb
The document summarizes President Harry S. Truman's speech announcing the US bombing of Hiroshima with an atomic bomb on August 6, 1945. It describes the bombing's devastating impact, killing tens of thousands immediately and eventually over 100,000 due to radiation exposure. It then discusses the bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's controversial statements threatening to "wipe Israel off the map" if it attacks Iran's nuclear program. It concludes by suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu order a first strike on Iran to prevent tragedy befalling Tel Aviv similar to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Tornadoes
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. They form when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating instability. Rising air can tilt the rotating air vertically, forming a funnel cloud. The strongest tornadoes can rip buildings off their foundations and deform skyscrapers. Doppler radar is now used to detect tornadoes by identifying rotation in storms from over 100 miles away, helping provide early warnings.

Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and can have winds up to 175 mph, with the strongest recorded being Hurricane Wilma. Hurricanes often impact the US east coast and Gulf Coast.
How natural disaster impact the environment
This document provides information about various natural disasters and their impacts. It discusses 11 natural disasters (earthquakes, hurricanes, lightning, fire, tsunamis, tornados, volcanoes, blizzards, floods, heat waves, and droughts). For each disaster, it provides statistics on frequency, deaths, damage costs, and other impacts. It also discusses which disasters have caused the most deaths or economic damage according to available data. The goal is to help the reader learn how natural disasters affect both humans and the environment.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
