Hurricane Andrew: A Meteorological Study
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Of all natural disasters Mother Nature inflicts upon the earth, perhaps none is quite as devastating as the hurricane. Historically speaking, hurricanes have held the capacity to destroy entire coastlines, wipe out complete communities and generally wreak havoc upon all unfortunate enough to remain in their paths. The total destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, considered to be history's worst in terms of death and damage, made the East Coast and the world alike gravely aware of just how helpless man and the environment are to the unrelenting wrath of Mother Nature.

Hurricanes: A Description of this Climatic Phenomenon and a Guide for Preparedness
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page outline of the many considerations which surround hurricanes. Hurricanes present one of the most catastrophic of all natural disasters. Their development and maturation offers a fascinating climatologic study, a study which is intensified when one realizes the damage to life and property which can result with their advent. Climatologists are constantly seeking to better the techniques which they can use to sense the development of these storms and to track their path from their point of origin to landfall. Accurately predicting the course of these storms and providing adequate warning to those in the area of their potential swath is critical to saving both lives and property, as is proper personal and regional preparations for these devastating events.
