Essay / Research Paper Abstract
10 pages in length. Of all natural disasters Mother Nature inflicts upon the earth, perhaps none is quite as devastating as the hurricane. Historically speaking, hurricanes have held the capacity to destroy entire coastlines, wipe out complete communities and generally wreak havoc upon all unfortunate enough to remain in their paths. The total destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, considered to be history's worst in terms of death and damage, made the East Coast and the world alike gravely aware of just how helpless man and the environment are to the unrelenting wrath of Mother Nature.

out complete communities and generally wreak havoc upon all unfortunate enough to remain in their paths (Byers, 1959). The total destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Andrew, considered
to be historys worst in terms of death and damage, made the East Coast and the world alike gravely aware of just how helpless man and the environment are to
the unrelenting wrath of Mother Nature. II. THE ANATOMY OF HURRICANE ANDREW Thirty-nine deaths and twenty-five billion dollars in damages later, Hurricane Andrew lives only in history books and
the memories of those who experienced its fury. The violent storm of August 24, 1992 "carved a ferocious path through the northwestern Bahamas, south Florida, and southern Louisiana" (Anonymous,
2002). Its origin as a "small but ferocious" (Rappaport, 1993) storm reached a category 4 when dubbed the Camp Verde hurricane; indicative of its fierceness was the storms central
pressure, which reflected third lowest at landfall for the entire century at 922mb (Anonymous, 2003). Hurricane Andrews first inkling was noted on August 14th where satellites identified the presence of
a tropical wave that crossed from the African coast all the way to the tropical North Atlantic Ocean. After imposing its wrath upon the Camp Verde Islands on August
15, the wave formed into a tropical depression the very next day that steadily gain strength on August 17th and was finally classified as Tropical Storm Andrew. For the
next three days, Andrew moved its way east-southeast of Bermuda, hesitated there for a time and then continued on in a northwesterly direction, where it came upon a southwesterly vertical
wind shear and high pressures. This combination only served to fortify Andrews already growing intensity over the next twelve hours by creating "sporadic bursts of deep convections" (Anonymous, 2003),
