1. Which weather events kill the most Americans?
2. Which weather events kill the most people (in the world)?
3. Are your answers to those two questions different? Why or why not?
- Yes my answers are different to the two questions because the two are to different weather conditions that happen in the world.
4.
Read this article. Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not?
- I agree for there to be a week of flood awareness so that Americans can know the dangerous that occur during a flood. With knowing this information you are safe during a flood and know how to react to different problems.
5. For your response to #1, find three weather events. Describe what happened (how severe was the storm, did anyone get hurt or die, how much property damage, include pictures, etc.).
- On August 28th, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the southern coast of the United States with devastating effect. It was reported that more then 1,800 people lost there lives, and more then $81 billion dollars in damages occurred.
- Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive hurricane to ever make landfall in the United States. It was the ninth named storm, fifth hurricane
- and third major hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season. It was Cape Verde-type hurricane, Ike was blamed for at least 195 deaths.
