Hurricane
Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and gain strength from evaporation. They have powerful rotating winds around an eye and can cause dangerous storm surges and heavy rain that damage buildings, trees, and cars when making landfall. Hurricane Katrina formed in August 2005 and caused catastrophic damage when it struck the Gulf Coast of the United States.
tornados
Tornadoes are rapidly spinning funnel clouds that reach from thunderstorm clouds to the ground, causing mass destruction with winds that can send cars flying and destroy homes and buildings. They form when hot and cold air masses collide and start circulating intensely, with the force eventually producing a funnel. Some of the most destructive tornadoes include the 1953 Flint Beecher tornado in Michigan, which killed over 100 people and injured 900 with 100 mph winds that destroyed 20 homes.
Tornadoes presentation
The document summarizes tornadoes, describing their funnel shape and varying colors depending on debris. Tornadoes form from rotating thunderstorms when cold and warm air masses collide. They can rip apart buildings, uproot trees, lift animals, and destroy entire cities within minutes. Wind speeds often exceed 300 miles per hour and tornadoes cause rain, hail, and sleet. Some notable tornadoes include the 1953 Waco, Texas tornado that was a third of a mile wide and destroyed 23 miles of land.
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.
What Are Hurricanes
Hurricanes are powerful storms with heavy winds and rain, categorized from 1 to 5 based on wind speed and damage caused, with higher categories having the potential to destroy buildings and kill people. Hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes on record, killing over 1,800 people and causing $100 billion in damage as it hit several US states and islands in 2005 over the course of 8 days.
Blizzards
A blizzard is a snowstorm with winds over 56 km/h and temperatures below -10°C that lasts for at least 3 hours. Blizzards form when snowstorms collide with warm air and begin twisting, and they can accumulate over 3 feet of snow and cause damage like cracking roads and burying cars, which sometimes results in loss of life. Key factors for blizzards include wind speeds up to 35 mph and heavy snowfall that reduces visibility.
Hurricanes
A document discusses how hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and need storm energy, how hurricanes are steered by wind currents, and details of Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in 2005, caused 1836 deaths, and caused widespread flooding and infrastructure damage through broken bridges and destroyed homes.

Hurricane
This document lists the names of several hurricanes including IKE, ANDREW, CATER, CHRIS, DOLLY, DAVID, DENNIS, DEAN, DONNA, FLOYD, HUGO, HANNA, and KATRINA. The document was created by Timothy Boatwright-Johnson and appears to be a list of hurricane names.
TORNADOES
Tornados are funnel-shaped clouds that touch the ground, can reach speeds up to 300 mph, and come in strength categories from F1 to F7. They form when winds at different heights blow in different directions and speeds, resulting in a funnel cloud that can demolish homes and throw people and animals miles away, causing injury or death.
Snow Storms
Snow storms occur when large amounts of snow fall from the sky. The snow swirls around in clouds during blizzards. After a snow storm, areas can be completely covered in snow. Snow storms can produce several inches of snow and cause disruptions to traffic and school transportation on roads made slick by the snowfall, especially in places that do not often receive heavy snow.
Weather
Hurricane Katrina formed in the Bahamas in August 2005 and traveled across Florida, Cuba, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, killing at least 1,836 people. It was a large storm with winds up to 175 mph that formed from swirling clouds in the center and eliminated everything in its path over the course of 7 days, becoming one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Blizzards
1) Blizzards form when cold, moist air rises and meets warm air, creating clouds and precipitation like snow.
2) Blizzards can cause power outages by burying power lines, and trap people in their homes and bury vehicles and buildings under heavy snowfall.
3) To be classified as a blizzard, winds must reach 35 mph or higher and precipitation such as snow must be falling, bringing visibility down to less than 1/4 mile. Famous blizzards include the 2007 Saskatchewan blizzard which shut down all power in the region.

15 Behavioural Economics Principles to increase Conversions #a4uexpo
A quick fire workshop from our conversion expert Kelvin Newman will examine how very simple and often small website changes can have a significant effect on behaviour and therefore influencing the purchase journey. Expect to leave the workshop with quick wins that can boost conversion through behavioural economics.
Kelvin Newman FridayMedia Presentation
Digital marketing is dominated by four main themes: social media, mobile marketing, local search optimization, and analytics. Social media allows companies to connect directly with customers, mobile marketing focuses on smartphones and tablets, local search optimization improves local listings and visibility, and analytics provides data to measure success and inform strategies.
Ashley ray blizzards
A blizzard is a winter storm with winds over 56 km/h, heavy snowfall, and low visibility lasting more than 3 hours. Blizzards occur when cold air interacts with regions of low and high atmospheric pressure, bringing heavy snow and strong winds that can cause whiteout conditions, sickness, damage from falling trees and power lines, and dangers from hypothermia or frostbite. The Blizzard of 1888 was one of the worst blizzards in U.S. history, dumping over 40 inches of snow with winds over 45 mph across many Northeastern states and claiming over 400 lives.
tornado
Tornadoes form when warm, humid air meets cooler air, causing the warm air to rise rapidly and begin to spin. The document discusses two famous tornadoes - the 1899 tornado in New Richmond, Wisconsin that was 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide and killed 26 people from different families, and tornadoes can vary in size and duration, with some being more destructive than others by lifting cars, damaging property over 50 miles, and causing rain.

The document discusses two famous tornadoes - the 1899 tornado in New Richmond, Wisconsin that was 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide and killed 26 people from different families, and tornadoes can vary in size and duration, with some being more destructive than others by lifting cars, damaging property over 50 miles, and causing rain.
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.
Blizzard
A blizzard forms when warm, moist air clashes with cold air, causing a thunderstorm that produces snow and high winds. Blizzards can be dangerous due to low visibility, freezing temperatures, and strong winds that cause damage and endanger lives. The worst blizzard on record was the Great Blizzard of 1888, which killed over 400 people and spanned March 11-14. A severe blizzard has temperatures below 10 degrees Fahrenheit, winds over 45 mph, visibility below 1/4 mile, and lasts at least 3 hours, with potential snowfall of 12.5 inches in 24 hours.
Tornadoes
Tornadoes form from storm clouds when hot and cold air mixes, creating a rapidly whirling funnel cloud that can touch down and cause extensive damage by ripping apart buildings, trees, cars, and homes with strong winds that vary in speed and direction with altitude. Tornadoes are rated on the Fujita scale from F1 to F5 based on the severity of damage caused, with an F5 being the most destructive.

Hurricane
A hurricane floods towns and cities, demolishes buildings, destroys crops, kills people and animals, and causes thousands of dollars in damage as it moves counterclockwise. It forms over warm ocean waters as thunderstorms wrap around the center, gaining heat and wind speeds up to 130 miles per hour with intense rain and humidity. Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest and costliest hurricanes, hitting New Orleans in 2005 and flooding the entire city.
Tornadoes
A tornado is a funnel-shaped cloud that sometimes touches the ground, destroying everything in its path. Tornadoes form from powerful thunderstorms called supercell clouds and can have wind speeds over 400 mph. They most commonly occur during the spring and summer months in parts of the United States.
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
A hurricane is a large, swirling storm that forms over warm ocean waters near the equator. It features high winds and heavy rain that can cause catastrophic damage. When viewed from above, a hurricane looks like a large white vortex with a clear eye at the center. Hurricanes develop from rising warm, moist air that causes surrounding air to swirl inward and feed the growing storm. As they make landfall, hurricanes can rip off roofs, destroy homes and property, and lead to flooding and loss of life.
Severe Storms
Hurricane Hugo hit Puerto Rico in the morning of September 17th, 1989 and then made landfall in South Carolina around midnight, causing significant damage as it moved through the state. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters and contain heavy rain, strong winds that can reach 74-200 mph, and an eye of calm weather at the center. They start as tropical storms that grow stronger as heat and moisture rise within the storm system.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a powerful hurricane that hit South Carolina and other areas in 1889, destroying homes and buildings with its strong winds and heavy rain. The document describes how hurricanes form from tropical storms and develop a distinctive spiral shape with an inner eye of calm. Hurricane Hugo had maximum sustained winds of 160 miles per hour, making it a very fast and destructive storm, as recalled by the author's mother who experienced its impact in South Carolina.
Hurricanes
Hurricanes are one of nature's most destructive forces. They can cause enormous damage through wind, flooding from storm surges and heavy rain, and other hazards like mudslides. Hurricane winds can reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters through a process where moist air rises, condenses into clouds and releases latent heat. Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Mississippi and Louisiana in August 2005, causing extensive damage and loss of life from high winds and catastrophic flooding.
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.
Severe Weather
Tornadoes form from strong storm clouds called supercells. There are different types of tornadoes such as waterspouts, land spouts, and multiple vortex tornadoes. A tornado is formed when warm and cold air meet, moving in different directions at different speeds, creating a wall cloud that can spawn a tornado spinning at 35 mph or more. Tornadoes most commonly occur in Tornado Alley in the Great Plains of the US, where over 500 tornadoes are reported each year. The deadliest tornado in US history was the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, which killed 695 people as it traveled through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Severe Weather
Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to make landfall in the United States, forming on September 1, 2008 off the coast of Africa and becoming a powerful Category 4 storm with winds up to 145 mph before dissipating on September 13, 2008. Ike caused over $32 billion in damage and was blamed for more than 195 lives lost, making it the third costliest Atlantic hurricane ever recorded. Hurricanes form when cold air passes over warm ocean water, causing moisture to rise and organize into a cylindrical storm system.
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.
Hurricanes!!
Hurricanes form over warm tropical waters when cold and warm air masses collide, creating a large rotating storm with heavy winds and rain that can cause extensive damage as it makes landfall. They typically include an eye and surrounding rain bands and can spawn tornadoes, leaving many homeless or injured as seen with Hurricane Hugo, a category 5 storm that hit South Carolina in 1989, lasting over 4 hours and leaving 50,000 people homeless and multiple injuries.
Hurricane Hugo
Hurricane Hugo was a category 5 hurricane that formed over warm Atlantic waters near the equator. It destroyed almost everything in its path, putting people and cities in great danger, and causing millions in damage and repair costs from its strong winds and ability to knock down trees and destroy buildings. Hugo was one of the worst and most dangerous storms ever, with wind speeds over 120 miles per hour, and it was responsible for 82 deaths when it hit South Carolina in September 1989.
Tornados
Tornados are powerful vortexes that form from storm clouds and touch down from the cloud with a narrow end, whipping at speeds up to 110 mph. They can destroy homes, uproot trees, and endanger people as they rip through an area with rain and wind. Tornados begin as clouds which then shoot down a vortex when warm air hits the cloud, forming the spinning tornado. One example is the 1999 Salt Lake City tornado that injured 80 people and damaged a building, disproving ideas that tornadoes can't happen in some regions.
