Podcasts about hurricane dora

Join host Hal Needham as he talks with Meteorologist Robert Speta about the stark differences in preparing for and experiencing tropical cyclones. Speta shares invaluable insights into forecasting and living through powerful typhoons in East Asia, a region renowned for its exceptional disaster preparedness. He also raises critical concerns about hurricane complacency in northeast Florida, where he now resides. Discover why residents in this area, despite being on the fringe of recent hurricane activity, might be underestimating their risk since the last direct hit from Hurricane Dora in 1964. Tune in for a fascinating global storm perspective and learn essential tips for hurricane preparedness, whether you're in East Asia or Florida!

On this episode, we talk with Steven Rodzinak, director of code enforcement for the borough of Bound Brook, New Jersey about if specific building codes hurt or help FEMA reimbursement.  Bridgewater, New Jersey is situated on a floodplain of the Raritan River and has experienced devastating floods for decades from Hurricane Dora in 1971 to Hurricane Ida 50 years later. According to Riskfactor. com, 70% of all properties in the municipality have greater than a 25% chance of being severely affected by flooding over the next 30 years. Mr. Rodzinak talks to us about the intersection of building codes and the impact on federal emergency management agency, FEMA funding to answer the question if specific building codes hurt or help with FEMA reimbursement.

A mix of news, views, and intuition that aims to make you look more deeply, think more broadly, and be a little sassy in your approach to life! This month discusses "something very big" coming at us, the financial system, the start of CBDCs, school enrollment, observations on Hurricane Dora, and other topics.

Following an unusually dry summer and spurred on by strong winds from Hurricane Dora, spontaneous wildfires emerged and rapidly spread across multiple communities on Maui.   The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has declared the initiation of federal assistance for Hawaii in response to the wildfire crisis that began on August 8th. This aid is aimed at helping both state and local recovery endeavors in the regions impacted by the fires.   On August 11th, The Salvation Army made a local announcement about its ongoing initiatives to provide- essential supplies, food, and other essential services to those evacuated in Hawaii amidst the destructive wildfires.   Tragically, these fires have already led to the loss of 80 lives and have forced over 11,000 individuals out of their homes. The Salvation Army is actively collaborating with local emergency management, leaders, and other nonprofit organizations to extend support to evacuees and first responders.   To support The Salvation Army's continued efforts, you can visit Hawaii.SalvationArmy.org or easily make a secure donation through your mobile device by texting "MAUI" to 51555.

On August 8, intense winds from nearby Hurricane Dora led to around 30 downed utility poles causing outages for over 12,400 customers. These winds and downed power lines contributed to fires in various parts of Maui. In Kula, a fire scorched about 1,000 acres, threatening 544 structures and burning 16, with evidence suggesting a fallen power line as the ignition source. Meanwhile, Lāhainā experienced its most devastating fire on August 8 due to a downed power line. This fire led to widespread evacuations, gridlock, and desperate escape attempts, including people diving into the ocean. As of August 15, 106 deaths were confirmed in Lāhainā, with search operations still underway. This fire consumed 2,170 acres and destroyed over 2,200 buildings, resulting in damages estimated near $6 billion. The Lāhainā fire's death toll became the highest for a U.S. wildfire since 1918. In the immediate aftermath of the fires, many began discussing the connections between these fires, climate change, and colonization. But what are these connections, and why are they important? Ethan explores how climate change worsened the fires, how colonization worsened both climate change and the fires, and what lessons we can learn going forward in this week's “Tip of the Iceberg.” The Sweaty Penguin is presented by Peril and Promise: a public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York, reporting on the issues and solutions around climate change.

The tragedy has raised concerns over the efficiency of the state's warning systems, as many residents received inadequate alerts, leaving them little time to react to the raging fires. 夏威夷毛伊島遭受了一場毀滅性野火襲擊，造成至少55人喪生，並摧毀了一座歷史悠久的小鎮。這場悲劇引發了人們對該州警戒系統效率的擔憂，因為許多居民收到的警報不足，使他們在面對熊熊大火時沒有足夠的時間做出反應。 Hawaii's emergency management system, which boasts a network of around 400 sirens, was unable to prevent the catastrophe. The records show that warning sirens remained silent, and instead, alerts were dispatched to mobile devices, televisions, and radio stations. However, these alerts were hampered by widespread power and cellular outages, limiting their reach and effectiveness. 夏威夷的緊急管理系統擁有約400個警報器，然而這場災難並未被阻止。記錄顯示，警報器保持沉默，取而代之的是將警報發送到移動設備、電視和廣播電台。然而，這些警報受到大規模停電和手機信號中斷的影響，限制了它們的傳播範圍和效果。 Survivors recount their experiences, revealing a lack of prior warning, with many realizing the danger only when flames engulfed their surroundings or explosions echoed nearby. This tragedy marks Hawaii's deadliest natural disaster since a devastating tsunami struck the region in 1960, leaving Governor Josh Green to fear that the death toll could rise further as search and rescue operations continue. 倖存者們回憶了他們的經歷，揭示了缺乏事前警告，許多人只有在火焰吞噬周圍或附近傳來爆炸聲時才意識到危險。這場悲劇是夏威夷自1960年一場毀滅性的海嘯襲擊該地區以來最致命的自然災害，州長喬許·格林擔心隨著搜救行動的繼續，死亡人數可能會進一步上升。 The situation is exemplified by the story of Thomas Leonard, a 70-year-old retired mailman from the historic town of Lahaina. The absence of real-time information due to power and cell phone outages left him unaware of the fire until he smelled the smoke. As he attempted to escape, he had to abandon his vehicle and flee on foot amidst exploding cars. Hours of harrowing sheltering behind a seawall followed, with ash and cinders swirling around him. Eventually, firefighters arrived to lead him and other survivors to safety. 這種情況以湯馬士·萊昂納德的故事為例，他是來自歷史悠久的拉海納小鎮的70歲退休郵差。由於斷電和手機信號中斷，無法獲得實時信息，他直到聞到煙味才察覺到火災。在試圖逃脫時，他不得不放棄車輛，徒步逃離，周圍的汽車不斷爆炸。他躲在海堤後面度過了數小時，被熱風中的灰燼和火山灰環繞。最終，消防員趕到，將他和其他倖存者帶到安全地帶。 The fires were fueled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane, resulting in multiple wildfires igniting across Maui. One of the most severe blazes transformed Lahaina into a scene of devastation, reducing it to rubble and ashes. The aftermath saw charred remains of buildings and torched palm trees, leaving an eerie landscape between the ocean and lush greenery. 乾燥的夏季加上過境的颶風強風助長了火勢，導致毛伊島各地燃起野火。其中最嚴重的一場大火將拉海納燒成了一片廢墟，只剩下瓦礫和灰燼。事後，建築物的殘骸燒焦，棕櫚樹被燒毀，在海洋和郁郁蔥蔥的綠地之間的留下了一片陰森恐怖的景象。 Despite boasting an extensive emergency warning infrastructure, the quick and unpredictable nature of the fires overwhelmed the response efforts. Maui County's hazard mitigation plan, recognizing the area's wildfire risk, cited the high number of households without vehicles and non-English speakers, which hindered timely alerts and swift actions during crises. 儘管擁有龐大的緊急警報基礎設施，野火的迅速和不可預測性仍然使救災工作不堪重負。毛伊縣的災害緩解計劃清楚的理解該地區的火災風險，指出了沒有交通工具的家庭和非英語使用者的數量較多，這點妨礙了在危機時期的及時警報和迅速行動。 Compounding the issue, the Maui Fire Department's limited staff and resources presented challenges in controlling the fires. With just 65 firefighters managing three islands and without off-road vehicles, containing the fires before they reached populated areas proved difficult. Hurricane Dora's fierce winds further complicated firefighting efforts, resembling a battle against a relentless blowtorch. 除此之外，毛伊島消防局有限的人力和資源也在火災控制方面受到挑戰。僅有65名消防員管理三個島嶼，並且沒有越野車，因此很難在火災蔓延到人口密集區之前將其控制住。颶風多拉帶來的狂風使滅火工作變得更加複雜，彷彿與無情的火焰噴射器在進行一場作戰。 In response to this tragedy, President Joe Biden declared a major disaster in Maui, promising swift assistance to those affected. As the island grapples with the aftermath of these wildfires, questions arise about the adequacy of warning systems, the importance of community preparedness, and the need for bolstered firefighting resources to prevent such devastating incidents in the future. 面對這場悲劇，喬·拜登總統宣布毛伊島發生重大災難，承諾向受災民眾提供迅速的援助。毛伊島在處理野火後的餘波時，人們開始質疑警戒系統是否充分，社區準備的重要性以及增強滅火資源的需求，以防止未來發生類似的災難性事件。 Reference article: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/10/fires-burn-through-hawaii-at-least-36-people-have-died-on-maui.html

HEADLINE: Desperate Californians climb trees to escape floods and mudslides with many trapped in cars for hours after Hilary brings record rain: Palm Springs is submerged and 25M are now under flood warnings: Shock video shows earthquake rock at bar by Olivia Jones HEADLINE: Understanding The Weather Forecasts That Preceded The Maui Wildfires by Steven Businger  Essentially a high amplitude atmospheric wave forced by strong winds interacting with the mountains of northwest Maui produced powerful, dry downslope winds on the lee slopes of West Maui mountains. The sirens are for hurricanes and tsunami's only. The community is told, if you hear the siren, you immediately get to higher ground. NWS forecasters are familiar with this weather pattern, which meteorologists refer to as a “downslope windstorm.” HEADLINE: The Real Cause of the Maui Wildfire Disaster by Cliff Mass Weather Blog A phenomenon skillfully predicted by modern high-resolution models, and thus a feature we could have warned Lahaina's population about.   A phenomenon that would have been picked up by surface weather observations, if only West Maui had invested in inexpensive weather stations. High pressure is centered north of Hawaii and this high pressure was far more intense than normal just north and over Maui (indicated by the orange, red, and brown colors).   The pressure anomalies due to the Hurricane Dora were very small in scale and limited to far south of Hawaii.  Last week, I asked David Ovens, a highly skillful atmospheric modeler in my group at the UW, to run a forecast of the Maui event using the WRF model at very high resolution (1.3 km grid spacing). I was stunned by the simulation, which revealed the real cause of the disaster:  a high-amplitude mountains wave with very strong downslope flow on the West Maui Mountains.

In recent days, two major environmental events have captured our attention. On the one hand, we have the devastating wildfires that ravaged a community in Hawaii, and on the other, we witnessed a landmark ruling in a climate case from Montana, which could potentially pave the way for future climate-related lawsuits. Hawaii's heartbreaking wildfire disaster The alarming news of wildfires in Hawaii has been distressing to say the least. The fact that the fires claimed over 100 lives (a number that's sure to climb) is deeply saddening, and our hearts go out to everyone affected. For many, it's hard to fathom how a vibrant island like Hawaii, surrounded by water, could fall victim to such a disaster. So, what's causing these infernos in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? The current state of affairs has been years in the making. Over the past three decades, Hawaii has seen declining rainfall, reduced cloud cover due to soaring temperatures, and changing storm patterns. Sadly, all these shifts are linked to climate change, which resulted in the arid conditions that fuel wildfires. The region's drought conditions cause temperatures to rise, and with less moisture to absorb the heat, it further dries out the landscape, and creates a vicious cycle. And while Hurricane Dora may not have directly hit Hawaii, its strong gusts exacerbated the wildfire situation. It's a chilling reminder that multiple climate events can, and often do, impact one another, leading to catastrophic outcomes. The landmark Montana climate case Shifting our focus to Montana, a significant legal development promises to be a beacon of hope for the climate movement. In the lawsuit, “Held v. State of Montana,” young plaintiffs have achieved a monumental win. For those unfamiliar, the case revolved around young activists challenging the state. They asserted that by overlooking climate change in their fossil fuel projects, Montana infringed upon their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment. The verdict? The judge ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, deeming Montana's approval of such projects without climate change considerations unconstitutional. This groundbreaking decision isn't just a victory for Montana. It establishes a powerful precedent for similar cases nationwide. The ruling solidifies the long-held understanding that climate change is a manufactured, human-created issue, and its repercussions directly influence individual lives. Importantly, it fortifies the legal framework for citizens, especially younger generations, to champion their rights and the future of our planet.

Maui: flash drought and anomalous 85 MPH winds perfectly timed to create an unprecedented inferno. "Maui experienced a two-category increase in drought severity in just three weeks from May to June, with that rapid intensification fitting the definition of a flash drought" (ABC news). "Even in the past week there's been a quick acceleration of that drought", said University of Virginia hydrologist Venkat Lakshmi (ABC news). "Flash droughts occur when the rain stops and it gets so hot that the atmosphere literally sucks moisture out of the ground and plants, making them more likely to catch fire (ABC news). "Major differences in air pressure drove unusually strong trade winds that fanned the destructive flames, according to meteorologists" (ABC news). An anomalously powerful clockwise rotating high pressure zone north of Hawaii combined with the anomalously resilient counter clockwise rotating Hurricane Dora south of Hawaii to create a surface level wind tunnel effect over Maui. Was the convergence of all these conditions just coincidence? Just random acts of nature? Or is there much more to the story that we are not being told? What puzzle piece is being systematically omitted from climate collapse catastrophe reporting of events that are unfolding all over the world? The latest installment of Global Alert News is below.

Pacific Hurricane Dora has made history becoming the second-ever recorded Hurricane to cross into the Western Pacific, taking on the title of Typhoon. She has traversed over 10,000 miles from the coast of Africa to the Western Pacific, even fanning some of the destructive Hawaii wildfire flames.

Celebrating 10 Weeks of The Weather Review

Last Tuesday, fires fueled by a combination of strong winds from Hurricane Dora and drought conditions tore through Maui, destroying historic town of Lahaina, killing more than 90 people, and displacing thousands.

We have a new podcast! It's called Universe Of Art, and it's all about artists who use science to bring their creations to the next level. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.   Devastating Fires Might Become More Common In Hawaii As of Friday morning, at least 55 were dead and thousands were seeking shelter on Maui, after wildfires tore across the Hawaiian island. Officials there say that the fires, once rare, have caused billions of dollars in damage, and the Biden administration has made federal disaster relief available. The fires were driven by strong, dry winds from nearby Hurricane Dora, and were made worse by ongoing drought conditions. The region has grown hotter and drier, and highly flammable invasive grasses have been crowding out native vegetation. Bethany Brookshire, freelance science journalist and author of the book Pests: How Humans Created Animal Villains, joins Ira Flatow to talk about this story and others from this week in science news, including an investigation into unknown genes in our genome, a 390 million year-old moss that might not survive climate change, and a fish that plays hide and seek to get to its prey.    A Tuna's Reel Life Adventures Bluefin tuna is typically sliced into small pieces, its ruby red flesh rolled into sushi. But don't let those tiny sashimi slices fool you. Bluefin tuna are colossal creatures—on average, they're about 500 pounds. The biggest one ever caught was a whopping 1,500 pounds. They can travel thousands of miles at breakneck speeds, and their skin changes color! The fish, once in danger of extinction, have now rebounded due to a combination of scientific advances and possibly as a result of climate change. Ira talks with Karen Pinchin, science journalist and author of the new book, Kings of Their Own Ocean: Tuna, Obsession, and The Future of Our Seas about a tuna nicknamed Amelia who traveled across the world, the fisherman who tagged her, and what their stories can help us better understand about the mighty fish. Read an excerpt of the book here.   Preserving Acadia National Park's Vanishing Birdsong Acadia National Park in Maine is home to more than 300 bird species. Climate change is affecting the range of many of these birds, to the extent that some may not be found in the area in the future. A team of volunteers has made it their mission to record as many bird sounds as possible—while they still can. Laura Sebastianelli is the founder and lead researcher of the Schoodic Notes Bird Sounds of Acadia project. She's helped collect more than 1,200 bird sounds on tape, with the hopes of aiding future researchers. Sebastianelli joins Ira to talk about the project.    World's Richest Lithium Deposit Faces Opposition To Mining Five years ago, professional gem hunters Mary and Gary Freeman stumbled upon the richest known lithium deposit in the world in the woods of western Maine. Lithium is a silvery metal many consider to be key to the transition to a clean energy future, thanks to its role in technology like lithium-ion batteries. The Maine deposit could be a way for the United States to be independent in their lithium sourcing. But there's stiff opposition to digging up the mineral within Maine. Kate Cough, reporter and enterprise editor for The Maine Monitor, reported this story in collaboration with Time Magazine. Cough is a Report For America corps member. She joins Ira to discuss the debate.   To stay updated on all-things-science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.

Hawaii may be a tourist attraction to many Americans, but for over a million people, it's their home. And like any state in the US, it is not immune to the effects of climate change. This week brought a devastating reminder, as wildfires stoked by Hurricane Dora spread across the island of Maui. Dozens have been killed in the fires and thousands have been evacuated. Much of the historical town of Lahaina lies in ruins. Hawaii, like many other places on the planet, has experienced less rainfall in recent years, making it more prone to devastating wildfires that seemed unimaginable a generation ago. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Officials say at least 6 people have died in the “unprecedented” wildfires that are raging through Hawaii's Big Island and Maui. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says much of Lahaina, the historic whaling village and tourism hotspot on Maui, is destroyed. Hurricane Dora and high pressure over the northern Pacific have created high winds that are moving westward. Kelly Bryce is a charter boat captain who was asked by the Coast Guard to help with the rescue efforts. He joins AC360 to describe what he's been seeing and hearing while helping people to safety. Plus, FBI agents shot and killed a Utah man while attempting to arrest him for allegedly making threats against President Biden ahead of his visit to the state. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe tells AC360 this was a “very logical investigation” of somebody who was escalating his threats that could end in potential violence.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

At least 36 people have been confirmed dead in wildfires on Hawaii's Maui island, officials confirmed on Aug. 10. The wildfires were fanned by strong winds from Hurricane Dora passing far south of the state and made worse by dry conditions. Iran has released from prison five detained Americans—but kept them under house arrest—according to the U.S. State Department. Reportedly, Morad Tahbaz, Emad Sharghi, Siamak Namazi, and two other unidentified dual Iranian-American citizens are under house detention. Special counsel Jack Smith has proposed Jan. 2, 2024, as the date to launch the trial with former President Donald Trump in the case involving his efforts to reverse the results of the 2020 election. Jury selection would start as early as Dec. 11 based on the proposed schedule. Meanwhile, President Trump's valet pleaded not guilty to new charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Residents who fled their homes as devastating wildfires struck the Hawaiian island of Maui overnight have described apocolyptic scenes as people fled their cars and a petrol station exploded. More than 250 buildings have been destroyed after fires fanned by strong winds from Hurricane Dora razed structures in the historic town of Laihana. CNN's Veronica Miracle flew into Maui this morning. She says at least six people have been killed, dozens injured and many people have been pulled from the water as firefighters battle to get the fires under control.
