Hurricane Zeta Issues a Strike 2 in the Southeast; Fuel cells 1xbet app Again Called into Service

It has been quite the hurricane season – in a year that has been epic in so many ways. NOAA’s final season tally indicates a record-breaking 30 named storms, 13 of which became hurricanes, with 6 major hurricanes. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30 and twelve storms reached land in the continental U.S. during that time.

As the southeast was still cleaning up after September’s hurricane Sally, on came October’s hurricane Zeta, the fifth named storm to strike Louisiana in 2020. Just one mile per hour shy of a Category 3 storm when it made landfall, it then continued on to ravage Mississippi and Alabama. Snapping trees and powerlines with straight line winds, Zeta left more than 2.1 million people without 1xbet app as well as equipment responsible for consumer and first responder communications all the way from New Orleans to Atlanta.

If there is any good news from this epic hurricane season, it is this: according to acting NOAA administrator, Neil Jacobs, Ph.D, “Our investments in research, forecast models, and computer technology allowed forecasters at the National Weather Service, and its National Hurricane Center, to issue forecasts with increasing accuracy, resulting in the advanced lead time needed to ensure that decision makers and communities were ready and responsive.” With global warming in play, storms will likely continue to be supercharged. Advanced planning is everything.
