• There are many perils attendant with hurricanes: strong winds, high waves, heavy rains causing flooding and landslides, and storm surges. A storm surge is a gigantic dome of water that swells under the low barometric pressure of the hurricane, flooding the coastline. The sea rises a foot for every inch drop in barometric pressure. In the eye of a hurricane where the barometric pressure reaches record lows, this can cause a devastating storm surge. • Three-quarters of all hurricane deaths occur due to drownings in the storm surge. Surges 40 feet tall are not uncommon. • The farther the wind blows across the top of the sea unobstructed, the higher it pushes the waves. The taller the waves get, the more they absorb the energy of the wind. The rule of thumb is that the maximum height of the waves equals half the speed of the wind. So a hurricane wind of 150 mph can produce waves up to 75 feet tall. • Hurricanes usually track forward at between 5 and 15 mph. At 15 mph, a hurricane can cover 3,600 miles in 10 days. They can be up to 600 miles wide. Most hurricanes last between 7 and 14 days from the time they form until the time they dissipate when they encounter land. • It is said that in 1938, a resident of Westhampton Beach, NY received in the mail a barometer he had ordered. Opening the package, he was disappointed to find that it registered “hurricane”. He tapped it and smacked it, but still nothing could dislodge the indicator from the hurricane setting. Obviously the barometer was faulty. He wrote a letter of protest to the manufacturer and went to the post office to mail it back. He was never able to return home from the post office, because the hurricane struck just then and swept his house into the sea. (Continued next page)

• On September 3, 1821, a hurricane hit New York City and moved north up into New England. A man named William Redfield rode on horseback through the area shortly after the storm passed and noticed as he moved through the area that in the southernmost areas hit by the storm, the trees had all fallen down in the exact opposite direction as the trees that had toppled in the northernmost area damaged by the storm. Upon returning home, Redfield collected information about the storm from newspapers, letters, and ships’ logs and afterwards was the first human to come to a great conclusion concerning the nature of hurricanes: “This storm was exhibited in the form of a great whirlwind.” • In some places, hurricanes are called cyclones, which is Greek for “wheel” or “coils.” • When hurricanes strike places like New England, thousands of elms, birches, spruces, and hemlocks fall, but oaks, hickories, and walnuts do not. That’s because they have taproots that sink like a shaft straight into the earth, whereas other trees have shallow root systems that spread out flat. • In 1954 Hurricane Edna became twins when it reached the New England coast: it split apart and became two storms with two eyes. • In 1963 the weathermen in Taiwan predicted the oncoming hurricane Gloria would bypass the island. However, the storm struck the island head-on the following day, killing some 250 people and causing over $17 million in damage. The weathermen were arrested and charged with criminally negligent forecasting, a crime which carried a penalty of up to ten years in prison. The weathermen brought in experts who testified to the unpredictability of hurricanes. The judge decided that the prosecution had failed to prove criminal intent. The weathermen were freed.

I'm going to stand outside. So if anyone asks, I am outstanding.

Susan pulled into a crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to make sure her Labrador Retriever had fresh air. The dog was stretched out on the back seat, and she wanted to impress upon him that he must remain there. She walked to the curb backward, pointing her finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay! Stay!" The driver of a nearby car, gave Susan a strange look and said, "Why don't you just put it in park?"

--While we have to tolerate certain changes while aging, depression isn’t one of them. Symptoms can be any of the following: sleeping too little or too much, no interest in favorite activities, inability to concentrate, and feeling hopeless, anxious or very tired. Depression might be part of a serious illness such as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease or heart disease, and therefore might not be initially recognized.

• Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, was getting ready to invade Japan in 1274 when a hurricane blew in. Hundreds of his ships were sunk in the storm and thousands of his troops drowned. Japan was saved. Seven years later he tried to invade Japan again. This time he managed to get to the shores of Japan with some 200,000 men and a thousand ships. Then another hurricane blew in, wrecking the ships and sweeping the beaches clean of soldiers. Kublai Khan no doubt thought of hurricanes as work of the devil, but the Japanese referred to their savior storms as “kamikaze” meaning “divine wind.” • In 1854 during the Crimean War, 500 British soldiers died in the Battle of the Light Brigade at Balaklava. A few weeks later, a hurricane wrecked 13 supply ships that were destined for the British army still stationed in Balaklava. With no supplies, over 8,000 soldiers died during the winter. • In December 1944 a hurricane struck the U.S. Pacific Fleet that was preparing to invade the Philippines. Three destroyers sank, nine ships sustained serious damage, and 19 ships suffered some damage. The storm wrecked 146 planes, and 790 soldiers drowned. The invasion was postponed. Some experts feel that if the invasion had not been drowned out and the Philippines had been re-taken, the war with Japan would have ended without any atomic bombs being dropped. • On November 13, 1970, a hurricane roared up the Bay of Bengal in Pakistan and swamped the area. Half a million people died. Survivors turned to the government for help. But the government of Pakistan was located 2,000 miles away, out of the path of the storm. They sent no aid. Thousands died while waiting for help. The governmental indifference caused such resentment that revolution broke out which hastened the split of Bangladesh, which became a nation independent of Pakistan. Thought for the Day: “By the age of 6 the average child will have completed the basic American education. ... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, how to get one lump sum for their cash annuities, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and snuggly soft and most important they will know where to buy the best pizza.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

* While it’s true that paying to use transportation routes is nothing new, you might be surprised to learn the extent of some early pay-for-travel routes. In England in the early 1800s, there already were 30,000 miles of toll roads -- not to mention 8,000 toll gates. * During World War II, money was smuggled into German POW camps using Monopoly games -- the real stuff was stashed in among the fake cash. * Twerking may be a modern phenomenon, but in the 16th century, it was not unusual for a gentleman to be caught twirking (with an “i,” not an “e”) in public. Of course, twirling the hairs of one’s mustache generally didn’t raise an eyebrow in polite society. * If you see a group of ducks in the water, you can call them, collectively, a “paddling” of ducks. In the air, however, the correct collective term is a “team.” * Before he became famous in his eponymous sitcom, Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the TV show “Benson” -- he played the governor’s speechwriter. He didn’t last long, though; he was fired after just three episodes. (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
