Four boxcars of wind energy

Uh oh! Now there are four storms on the North Atlantic freight train.

Uh oh. More trouble in the North Atlantic.

The North Atlantic freight train rolls on. Danielle took off for vacation in Europe, now Earl and Fiona and mystery storm "G" are bearing down on us.

What might help us avoid getting run over? The jet stream.



When we start getting those cold fronts reliably plowing across Florida in a few weeks, then we'll be safe. But until then, hold onto your hat!

Freight train, North Atlantic

National Hurricane Center is showing a set of storms lining up. I have noticed recently: every few years, we get a freight train of hurricanes and tropical storms heading our way across the Atlantic Ocean.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to live inside a shooting gallery!? ;)

Enigma machines/hurricane damage

I will be starting to activate a variety of Enigma machines for you all to use as study tools. They are like sideways Jeopardy games that help you work through calculations in a step by step manner.

Right now, I have activated an Enigma machine called "Rooftop troubles" that will help you understand the Bernoulli Principle and why hurricanes can suck roofs off into the sky like child's play. It reinforces concepts in chapters 11 and 12. Look for the Enigma icon in Webcourses, on the home page.
