Video of hurricane katrina aftermath12/14/2023 ![]() history, behind hurricanes Katrina and Harvey. That makes it the third-costliest hurricane in U.S. Hurricane Maria is estimated to have caused about $90 billion in damage to Puerto Rico. “This total includes both direct and indirect deaths since it was nearly impossible to differentiate between the two types of fatalities for this event,” the report read. Authors attributed that number to the island territory’s government, which used a study from George Washington University’s Milken Institute School of Public Health to determine the number of deaths. In that original report, the death toll in Puerto Rico was 65, with a caveat that the number was “highly uncertain.” The updated report issued Wednesday dramatically increased the number of fatalities in Puerto Rico to 2,975. “Maria knocked down 80 percent of Puerto Rico’s utility poles and all transmission lines, resulting in the loss of power to essentially all of the island’s 3.4 million residents,” the post-storm report read in part. However, the terrible winds and flooding were just part of the problem. Just under 40 inches of rain was reported in some places on the island. Nearly 9 feet of storm surge was pushed ashore. ![]() Hurricane Maria was a monstrous Category 4 storm that crashed into Puerto Rico on Sept. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 comes in second at $148.8 billion. That cements its position as the costliest U.S. Adjusted to 2022 dollars, Katrina caused an estimated $186.3 billion in damage. According to the report, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information estimated Katrina caused $125 billion in damage in 2005 dollars. It ranks third behind the Galveston, Texas, hurricane of 1900 (at least 8,000 fatalities) and the Lake Okeechobee, Florida, hurricane of 1928 (more than 2,500 fatalities).Īnother adjustment to Hurricane Katrina’s official record is the estimated cost of damage caused by the storm. The adjustment does not change the fact that Katrina is one of the deadliest storms to ever make landfall on the mainland U.S. “Presumably, most of the deaths in Louisiana were caused by the widespread storm surge-induced flooding and its miserable aftermath in the New Orleans area,” the report read in part. A majority of those deaths – 341 – happened in Louisiana, and most of those people were over the age of 60. That number was revised Wednesday to 1,392 fatalities, both direct and indirect. In the original post-storm report issued in the months that followed Katrina, NHC officials said deaths from the storm were estimated to be more than 1,800. All that water overtopped or breached levees meant to protect New Orleans, which led to calamitous flooding and a humanitarian crisis. Those winds pushed a catastrophic storm surge of between 10 and 30 feet in the region ashore. ![]() Hurricane Katrina was a Category 3 storm with winds near 125 mph when it slammed into the New Orleans area on Aug. NEW ORLEANS (WVUE/ FOX) - The official death tolls of two of the worst hurricanes in history – Katrina and Maria – have been adjusted in federal reports that were updated Wednesday.Īccording to the National Hurricane Center, the post-storm reports for Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Maria in 2017 were updated to reflect new research into the disastrous impacts of each storm. ![]()

Golden Siberians really have an amazing colour. These colours tend to do the best on the show bench due to their wild look (and often they tend to have better type than other colours).įor pictures of fully grown brown tabbies please see Titan (warm brown) and Meadow (also warm brown but verging on gold) and Astra (brown spotted tabby with white) on the Our Siberian Cats page and then click on their pictures to see their photo galleries. They have the wild forest cat look and you can really imagine them living out in the forest hunting their prey! Browns come in a variety of shades from cool or dark browns through to pale browns and warm browns that verge on gold. Shaded tabbies are also less common than the other patterns.īrown tabbies (also called Black tabbies depending on the registry) are for me the ultimate Siberian cat. Classics are rarer as they are genetically recessive. Here are some pictures of the mackerel, classic, spotted, smoke and shaded Siberians. These Siberians are nick named "Neva Masquerades". Siberians do also come in a pointed pattern like the Siamese or Birman markings- these cats will have a pale body and colour only on their faces and legs and tail. Solid colours combined with the silver gene result in "smokes". no tabby pattern or rather their genetic pattern is hidden or masked by their solid colour) like black or blue. All of these patterns will have the tabby "M" on their forehead, stripes on their legs and spots on their tummies. Siberian cats can have mackerel (striped), classic (blotched), spotted (the stripes on their sides are broken up into spots) or shaded tabby patterns (where the pattern is faded out- this can occur in goldens and silvers). Like all the pictures on our site, the photos on this page are either pictures of our breeding cats or pictures of kittens we have bred. It is worth noting that Siberian coats can change dramatically with age, often the markings can fade and the coats get lighter in colour. It is not a full listing of what is possible for a Siberian cat, it just lists some of the beautiful kittens we have had so far!. ![]() This page is intended to help you understand what we mean by the different colour names. Our kittens will all have green/gold eyes (though all kitten's eyes start out blue). We now have the genes to produce reds and torties which will be a fun change for us. Some of our kittens will be "with white" and some "high white" but most will be without white. Here at snowgum we focus on breeding browns, goldens and silvers and occasionally blues. The cat’s coat should be evenly tipped, with the colour on the legs fading towards the paws.Siberian cats come in a wide variety of colours. Tippies should not have any strong tabby markings that said, rings on the tail may be acceptable if the cat is otherwise a good specimen of the breed. It’s the evenness of the tipping which is of paramount interest to a show judge, rather than the degree thereof. Colours can be any one of the accepted self-colours with a pale near-white undercoat. The tipping should be even across the whole of the cat’s body, except for the undercarriage and chin. The undercoat is very pale (it can be cream, silver or another light shade), appearing white with a “frosting” of colour. ![]() Tipped British Shorthair catsĪlso known as a “Tippy”, the tipped British Shorthair is a cat with the silver gene but with a colour at the ends of their hairs. Smoke BSH cats with colourpoints are also possible, adding yet another variety to the already staggering range of possibilities. The topcoat can be seal, any kind of tortie, or one of the previously listed self-colours. BSH smokes are characterised by an undercoat of silver that peeks through the topcoat, especially as the cat moves, creating an eye-catching smoke effect. The smoke variant has caused something of a stir in the cat fancy. ![]() Total video converter bigasoft vs avs4you12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Before conversion, you can edit videos in several ways, like changing aspect ratio, splitting them into parts, and exporting images and audio from your video.

Records, saw the band play an early show and signed the group to his label. Armstrong cites the band Operation Ivy (which featured Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, who would later contact Armstrong to fill in as a possible second guitarist for their band Rancid) as a major influence, and a group that inspired him to form a band. It was also around this time that bassist Sean Hughes left the band, causing Dirnt to switch from guitar to bass. In 1988, Armstrong and Dirnt began working with former Isocracy drummer John Kiffmeyer, also known as "Al Sobrante", who replaced original drummer Raj Punjabi. The group's first live performance took place on October 17, 1987, at Rod's Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California. One of their first songs written together was "Best Thing in Town". In 1987, friends and guitarists Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt, 15 years old at the time, along with bassist Sean Hughes and drummer Raj Punjabi, formed a band under the name Sweet Children.

Green Day has sold more than 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the world's bestselling artists. Members of the band have collaborated on the side projects Pinhead Gunpowder, the Network, Foxboro Hot Tubs, the Longshot, and the Coverups. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, their first year of eligibility. The musical was nominated for three Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Scenic Design, and Best Lighting Design, winning the latter two. In 2010, a stage adaptation of American Idiot debuted on Broadway. ![]() The band's fourteenth studio album is planned to come out early 2024. The band's thirteenth studio album, Father of All Motherfuckers, was released on February 7, 2020, and was their final album released by Reprise. Their twelfth studio album, Revolution Radio, was released in October 2016 and became their third to debut at No. The trilogy did not perform as well as expected commercially, in comparison to their previous albums, largely due to a lack of promotion and Armstrong entering rehab. It was followed by a trilogy of albums, ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré!, released in September, November, and December 2012, respectively. Their next album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released in 2009 and achieved the band's best chart performance. Green Day's seventh album, a rock opera called American Idiot (2004), found popularity with a younger generation, selling six million copies in the U.S. Though the albums Insomniac (1995), Nimrod (1997), and Warning (2000) did not match the success of Dookie, they were still successful, with the first two reaching double platinum status, while the last achieved gold. Alongside fellow California punk bands Bad Religion, the Offspring, Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise and Social Distortion, Green Day is credited with popularizing mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. In 1994, their major-label debut Dookie, released through Reprise Records, became a breakout success and eventually shipped over 10 million copies in the U.S. The band's early releases were with the independent record label Lookout! Records. Before taking its current name in 1989, Green Day was called Sweet Children, and they were part of the late 1980s/early 1990s Bay Area punk scene that emerged from the 924 Gilman Street club in Berkeley, California. Touring guitarist Jason White became a full-time member from 2012 to 2016. For most of the band's career, they have been a power trio with drummer Tré Cool, who replaced John Kiffmeyer in 1990 before the recording of the band's second studio album, Kerplunk (1991). Green Day is an American rock band formed in the East Bay of California in 1987 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, together with bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt. ![]() Sip alg netgear12/13/2023 ![]()
Diablo iv online only12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() With the negative reaction Blizzard has received on this announcement, I wonder if they will try to make some tweaks to their decision before the game releases. Plus, there are still areas across the globe that do not have the best access to the internet. What does this mean if they inevitably port the game to the Switch? Basically you would always need to be playing the game docked at home or find a Wifi connection to bum off of when you are on the go. While the video game industry has rapidly evolved into something that always wants to be connected, it is a bit sad to see this news. Some might have hoped just for some confusion on the question, however, GameSpot followed up with a Blizzard representative and they confirmed that the new entry to the Diablo franchise will be online-only across all versions of the game, including PS4 and Xbox One. Diablo 3 had the ability to play offline on the console versions of the game. It will be released on consoles, so not only PC users will be able to play it.

Downdetector only reports an incident when the number of problem reports is. This is something that bothers me about Diablo 3.Truth be told, it bothers me about every game it’s in that isn’t explicitly a multiplayer game, but it really bothers me about Diablo 3 that the game is an always online one that even if I intend to play the game wholly by myself I have to do so connected to Blizzard’s servers. GW2 (requires a little bit of effort) and old Warhammer Online had this. The series has four titles: Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo III, and Diablo IV. While fans might be excited about the new entries, I might have some news that will disappoint some. I like how some MMOs just threw you into a raid group if you were in the area.
