Hurricanes have always struck the shores of the United States.
But in recent decades, the combination of climate change and a growing coastal population has made them far more damaging — particularly in one corner of the Atlantic coast.
These two metros, known for their striking coastlines, have been regularly battered by hurricanes this century.
They also have something else in common: Both are among the fastest-growing coastal metros in the United States since 2000.
The hurricanes keep coming, and
Die Tanzgruppen sind oft drei Monate am Stück unterwegs und arbeiten sechs Tage die Woche für den Mindestlohn, also etwa 250 Dollar im Monat.
Jackson Damasceno, 29, der Co-Manager des Hurricane Truck of Happiness, sagte, dass einige Tänzer zwar die Schule verlassen, um auf Tour zu gehen, die Lastwagen jedoch zu sicheren Zufluchtsorten für junge Männer aus armen Vierteln geworden seien, die sonst in Banden hineingezogen werden könnten.
„Die meisten Jungen, die an diesen Lastwagen arbeiten, riechen nach Straße“, sagte
Florida has been malleted by Hurricane Idalia as huge storm surges and 110mph winds whipped across the state’s Big Bend.
The monster storm, which was downgraded to a Category 2 as it moved inland, engulfed much of the coastline at the top of the Panhandle on Wednesday morning.
Idalia crossed onto Florida’s Big Bend at Keaton Beach at 7.45am on Wednesday and is now heading northeast towards Georgia and the Carolinas.
It’s the strongest storm to make landfall in the
After Hurricane Maria battered Puerto Rico in 2017, monkeys living there forged new bonds to share a suddenly scarce resource: shade.
Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) that were willing to hang out with others boosted their chance of survival in the storm’s aftermath, researchers report July 24 at bioRxiv.org. That newfound sociability may have allowed multiple animals to escape the scorching heat of the day beneath any trees left standing, and any other source of shade they could find.
The Met Office has responded to reports of an ex-hurricane heading towards Britain after they warned more wet weather was on the way.
A 500-mile tropical storm is currently in the Atlantic, with the tail end set to drench the UK towards the end of the week.
Meteorologists warned there was still a “lot of uncertainty” as to what kind of conditions it will bring, but that it will likely be an “ex-hurricane” by the time it reaches the UK.
It’s hard to know how busy this year’s Atlantic hurricane season will be, thanks to a rarely observed combination of ocean and climate conditions.
The Atlantic Ocean is in an active storm era, a yearslong period of increasing storm activity. Plus sea surface temperatures there are much higher than usual this year, which can fuel storms, Matthew Rosencrans, the lead hurricane forecaster for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said May 25 at a news conference. But this year
Shortly after dawn on Sept. 30, 2021, Richard Jenkins watched a Category 4 hurricane overrun his life’s work.
The North Atlantic storm was a behemoth — 50,000 feet tall and 260 miles wide. Wind circled the eye wall at 143 miles per hour; waves the size of nine-story apartment buildings tumbled through a confused sea.
Puerto Rico lay 500 miles to the southwest; Bermuda was 800 miles straight ahead. Eighty miles northwest,
For decades, the remaining ghostly husks of Florida’s legendary ‘dome home’ welcomed boaters, locals and pelicans alike as beloved landmark of Cape Romano.
The unique sci-fi structure was originally the brainchild of an oil businessman turned hobbyist inventor named Bob Lee who completed the self-sufficient structure as a vacation home in 1981, using sand from the local beaches as concrete.
He left no stone unturned in its 2,400 square-foot design. It was equipped with solar panels, a cistern, two refrigerators

Tiffany Trump has been in hysterics as a category-1 hurricane barrels towards Florida and threatens to swamp her blockbuster Mar-a-Lago wedding.
The 26-year-old is due to tie the knot with billionaire heir Michael Boulos, 25, over the weekend following what was supposed to be a week of festivities at her father’s resort.
But the impending Hurricane Nicole has already begun dashing those plans, and could threaten the wedding itself.
Mar-a-Lago was closed down and staff were evacuated Wednesday and are
