Is Hurricane Irma only considered a hurricane at the eye, or center, of the storm and beyond that only a tropical storm? So, for example, hurricane Harvey didn't hit Houston, a tropical storm did?

Asked by Kim Harris over 8 years ago

Hi, Kim. Nope. The maximum sustained winds of any part of the storm (mostly likely near the eye) determine the designation of the entire storm. Harvey hit peak strength at Category 4 as it came ashore near Rockport, TX and the center never did cross Houston.

Hello! So I read an article about the Amazon being in fire. I was wondering if there was a way to take the numbers from how much Co2 is increasing & oxygen being take away & measure the effects elsewhere from wind patterns, temperature changes, etc.

Interesting question. A little out of my area as a local meteorologist. You might have some luck looking around the website for National Center for Atmospheric Research. https://ncar.ucar.edu/

can the temp. drop if its raining

Asked by darrell8675309 about 8 years ago

Yup. Sure can. Cold air moving into an area, cold air advection, can drop the temperature. And something called evaporative cooling can happen when it is raining. The friction with the air caused by falling raindrops can transfer heat to the water vapor and cool the air as well. Great question!

which population is mostly affected by natural disaster?

Asked by sidy badiane about 8 years ago

Interesting, and pretty broad question. Probably little out of my area. Maybe look to some US government resources like FEMA? Thanks.

Is it true that if someone cusses on live TV they can be sued?

Asked by Human being about 7 years ago

Hmmm...don't think so. Might be a question for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). I think they can levy fines.
