Hurricane Boris Headed Towards Land
After being downgraded from hurricane status just late yesterday, Boris seems to still be packing a punch. According to US National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Boris has yet again strengthened into a hurricane for a second time. Will this finally take shape and become the first major event of the 2008 hurricane season? Read ahead for more info and some of our best hurricane safety tips.
With the impact of global warming and hurricane season in full swing, many are keeping a close eye on Hurricane Boris. Boris seems to be gathering strength and is headed towards Hawaii. As the tracking systems continue to watch its formation, it is reportedly picking up winds of about 75 mph as of July 1. Although Boris is currently regarded as a weak storm, the possibility that it will begin to have momentum is very clear, and weather watchers will certainly be monitoring its progress. Boris formed near Baja California and continued its path west into the Pacific, before reaching hurricane strength July 1. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said yesterday that Boris strengthened into the first hurricane of the eastern Pacific hurricane season.
The government’s Climate Prediction Centers are forecasting that 2008 will be a record year for hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin, which includes the Caribbean. Meteorologists are gearing up for this year’s season as they predict that it might deliver six to nine hurricanes with two to five being major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5 on the Saffir-Simpson Scale).

1. Disaster Survival: Hurricane
Posted by Saba on 07/02 at 11:05 AMHow would one go about defining a “rugged season”? Well, according to the Climate Prediction center there may be over a dozen hurricanes with the majority of them defined as worse than average 000-973 exam. For now, however, Hurricane Boris has weakened with winds at about 75 miles per hour 000-974 exam.
As I said, I don’t live in a “hurricane community”. However, for those people who do battle hurricanes every year, I’m reasonably sure Hurricane Boris has not gone unnoticed. Actually he is a little late since hurricane season starts June 1st. Probably the rest to the year, we’ll be looking Southeast, not West 1Y0-259 exam.
