WEEK OF AUGUST 29th BLOG: Abbey Winiger 7th
SUMMARY: Two separate tropical depressions are heading towards the East and Gulf coasts throughout the week. Also a hurricane is heading towards Hawaii says forecasters. Both are supposed to become tropical storms before they reach the land. The article says the first is to be named Hermine and the second to be Ian. Also a tropical storm has been issued for North Carolina's outer exterior. Mark Wool the warning coordination meteorologist says "We can't rule out that this won't become a hurricane." As of Monday at 5 pm Tropical Depression 8 was about 140 miles southeast of Cape Hetteras North Carolina and had winds near 35 miles per hour. The system has expected to reach the tropical storm threshold by early Tuesday, with movements northeast at 7mph.
ANALYSIS/SYNTHESIS: Today at 5:30 pm USAToday launched this story. USAToday is a well respected and reliable news station. It covers major stories that are factual and up to date. This article is important because it shows us how serious these storms may be and to be alert. It serves to inform all people of certain conditions of these gulf coasts. Prior to reading this article I had heard nothing about the Gulf coast hurricanes this year. This news story has a very negative effect on the United Sates because it creates lots of damage and destroys communities. This article reminds me of hutricane Katrina because originally hutricane Katrinia was a tropical depression.It transformed into a tropical storm and damaged the city of New Orleans in August of 2005.

I really liked this article because it just shows how Mother Nature is so unpredictable. I am also very saddened by the damage in New Orleans because of the tropical storms.
