  • Basically, I ran my LICRICE model to compute wind exposure across the island, which totals 123 mph max wind speeds on average across the entire territory. (g-feed.com)
  • With a hurricane, homes are shredded by wind and debris, businesses are often left with aisles and warehouses full of ruined inventory. (walterpmoore.com)
  • It looks like wind generators will have to be redesigned specifically to withstand hurricanes. (baconsrebellion.com)
  • I have yet to see any sort of hurricane risk assessment from any of the proposed East Coast wind projects, most of which involve many billions of dollars. (baconsrebellion.com)
  • This research assesses the impact of hurricane wind fields on the structural response of wind turbines. (baconsrebellion.com)
  • This report describes the results of that analysis, which determined that misplacement of portable, gasoline-powered generators (e.g., indoors, in garages, or outdoors near windows) was responsible for nearly all of these CO exposures. (cdc.gov)
  • Repeated exposure may permanently scar lung tissue, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. (livescience.com)
  • We have the clearest evidence to date that the Gulf Stream is weakening and may ultimately collapse, with catastrophic implications for the marine life of the Atlantic and the global climate. (counterpunch.org)
  • Not only does the Gulf Stream distribute oxygen, nutrients, carbon, and heat around the Atlantic, but its sweeping currents also regulate sea levels, keeping near-shore water levels as much as up to 5 feet lower than the ocean farther off-shore. (counterpunch.org)
  • In the US, many plants and industrial sites are located near the Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast and Mississippi River. (construction-today.com)
  • A total of 167 persons had nonfatal CO poisoning diagnosed during the study period, representing a total of 51 exposure incidents. (cdc.gov)
  • And logistically, the total response effort was a beast. (walterpmoore.com)
  • RESULTS: A total of 107,149 lacrimator exposure calls were identified. (cdc.gov)
  • Almost nothing on the planet, short of nuclear weaponry, destroys economic value as rapidly as a mega-hurricane. (g-feed.com)
