Natural Disasters and their Effects on Floridians

Hurricanes effects on life/property Destroyed homes. Caused schools, airports and hospitals to close. Storm surge, the rush of water caused by powerful winds, has caused flooding and damages property. Winds, powerful and long lasting, can destroy property.

Tracking Models Limitations Reliability Different types of models

Other Natural Disasters Tornadoes: Often form as a result of tropical cyclones making landfall. High powerful winds of a jet stream often strengthen thunder storms. Tornadoes accompany strengthened thunderstorms. Floods: An overflowing of water in a normally dry area. Control flooding with dams and levees. Fires: Large, wildfires that spread quickly over a natural area. Can start by lightning, arson, debris burning, especially during dry season. Sinkholes Droughts
