Recently a massive hurricane landed in Mexico, displacing thousands. The storm is a category 5, one of the largest storms ever recorded in the western hemisphere. What's different about the storm is, yes, that it is a category 5, but it also came from the west. Usually, hurricanes come from the east, affecting the east. Many attribute this to be caused by El Nino.
Many new settelers were unaccustomed to hurricanes prior to coming to America. Hurricanes were never in Europe, but primarily in sea near Japan and China, South India, and parts of the lower hemisphere. The most frequented site for hurricanes are near the Gulf of Mexico, which is surrounded by mainland coasts and islands. This affects many more people than a hurricane or cyclone in an ocean.
Hm this is interesting. I wonder what could have caused it to come from a different direction like this. I suppose the environment can be crazy sometimes
ReplyDeleteEl Nino is unpredictable and hopefully it doesn't cause too much damage. Nice synthesis.

ReplyDeleteVery amusing! Very true though, you never know what kind of weather we are going to have. How fascinating that the hurricane came from the west when they usually come from the east coast! There are so many observations that can be made from this one hurricane, that is for sure!
