TIDBITS® SURVIVES

HURRICANESby Janet Spencer

Because September is National Disaster Preparedness month, come along with Tidbits as we weather a hurricane!

SMALL FACTS, BIG STORMS•Hurricanes are born where the ocean is warmest, when

it is warmest. The Caribbean Sea gets warmer as the sun passes over it on its way north in June and July; it warms up again when the sun travels south in September and October. Therefore the hurricane season lasts from June through October. Not surprisingly, Florida gets hit by more hurricanes than any other state.

• The practice of naming hurricanes seems to havebeguninafictionalbookcalled“Storm”publishedin1941.Inthisbook,ameteorologistamuseshimselfbynaming tropical storms after girls. The idea caught on. It became standard practice in 1950 when there were three different hurricanes going on at the same time in the Caribbean. Meteorologists began choosing names in alphabetical order. In 1978 they started naming hurricanes after men.

• The word ‘hurricane’ may have originated from theCarib god Huracan, a malicious spirit who ruled over fire,wind,andstormyweatherandcravedhumanlife,haunting the coastlines and delivering destruction, chaos, and death indiscriminately.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I watched a “cute” commercial today where a toddler sneakily pours dog food on the floor for the family puppy to eat. I think it was really irresponsible of the dog food company to show that without noting the risks to dogs that overeat, particularly puppies. Maybe a better commercial would be the mom rushing the dog to the veterinarian to make sure he doesn’t die of bloat. Why would the company present

BLOW THE MAN DOWN• There are many perils attendant with hurricanes:

strong winds, high waves, heavy rains causing floodingandlandslides,andstormsurges.Astormsurge is a gigantic dome of water that swells under the low barometric pressure of the hurricane, floodingthecoastline.Thesearisesafootforeveryinch drop in barometric pressure. In the eye of a hurricane where the barometric pressure reaches record lows, this can cause a devastating storm surge.

• Three-quartersofallhurricanedeathsoccurduetodrownings in the storm surge. Surges 40 feet tall (12 m) are not uncommon.

• The farther thewind blows across the top of thesea unobstructed, the higher it pushes the waves. The taller the waves get, the more they absorb the energy of the wind. The rule of thumb is that the maximumheightofthewavesequalshalfthespeedof the wind. So a hurricane wind of 150 mph (241 km/hr) can produce waves up to 75 feet (23 m)tall.

•Hurricanesusuallytrackforwardatbetween5and15mph(8to18km/hr).At15mph,ahurricanecancover3,600miles(5,800km)in10days.Theycanbeupto600miles(965km)wide.Mosthurricaneslast between 7 and 14 days from the time they form until the time they dissipate when they encounter land.

•It issaid that in1938,a residentofWesthamptonBeach, NY received in the mail a barometer he had ordered.Openingthepackage,hewasdisappointedtofind that it registered“hurricane”.He tapped itandsmackedit,butstillnothingcoulddislodgetheindicator from the hurricane setting. Obviously the barometer was faulty. He wrote a letter of protest to themanufacturerandwenttothepostofficetomailitback.Hewasneverabletoreturnhomefromthepostoffice,because thehurricanestruck just thenand swept his house into the sea.

Upon returning home, Redfield collectedinformation about the storm from newspapers,

HURRICANES IN HISTORY• Kublai Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, was

getting ready to invade Japan in 1274 when a hurricaneblewin.Hundredsofhisshipsweresunkin the storm and thousands of his troops drowned. Japan was saved. Seven years later he tried to invade Japan again. This time he managed to get to the shores of Japan with some 200,000 men and a thousand ships. Then another hurricane blew in, wrecking the ships and sweeping the beachesclean of soldiers. Kublai Khan no doubt thought of hurricanes aswork of the devil, but the Japanesereferred to their savior storms as “kamikaze”meaning“divinewind.”

ADVERTISING•Theword “new” on a product is regulated in theU.S. Usually it can only appear on a packagefor six months. It can be used in some cases up to two years. A product can be called “new” or“improved”ifitchangesanything,includingcolor,scent,orpackaging.

• This facial mask is good enough to eat: Mix together one mashed ripe banana with three tablespoons

of sugar, and apply liberally to face. Leave it on for about three minutes, and rinse with warm water. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.

• “The best way to soften butter is to let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. But if you are in a hurry, you can slice it into 1/2-inch pats and roll it between sheets of waxed paper. It will take only a minute or so.” -- I.V. in Connecticut

• Pet hair is best removed from upholstery with a squee-gee. Drag over the upholstery or even your carpet to collect the hair into a ball. Dispose of the hair in the trash.

• “Here’s my tip for using a pool noodle in the garage. We have a narrow parking area, so we cut a foam noodle in half length-wise, then secured it to the wall where the door might hit when we get out of the car. No bumps, no chips. The noodle saves the day!” -- Y.I. in Maryland

• “When you need to measure something that is sticky, like honey or peanut butter, try rinsing your measuring cup with oil, then hot water. The oily residue will make the sticky substance slide out, but it won’t be oily, as the hot water rinses away any excess.” -- E.R. in Arkansas

• It was 20th-century Hungarian author and psy-chiatrist Thomas Szasz who made the following

sage observation: “The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic -- in short, the closest thing to a genu-ine panacea known to medical science -- is work.”

• The story that’s been adapted to film more than any other is the fairy tale “Cinderella.”

• While it’s true that paying to use transportation routes is nothing new, you might be surprised to learn the extent of some early pay-for-travel routes. In Eng-land in the early 1800s, there already were 30,000 miles of toll roads -- not to mention 8,000 toll gates.

• During World War II, money was smuggled into German POW camps using Monopoly games -- the real stuff was stashed in among the fake cash.

• Twerking may be a modern phenomenon, but in the 16th century, it was not unusual for a gentleman to be caught twirking (with an “i,” not an “e”) in public. Of course, twirling the hairs of one’s mustache gener-ally didn’t raise an eyebrow in polite society.

• If you see a group of ducks in the water, you can call them, collectively, a “paddling” of ducks. In the air, however, the correct collective term is a “team.”

• Before he became famous in his eponymous sit-com, Jerry Seinfeld appeared on the TV show “Ben-son” -- he played the governor’s speechwriter. He didn’t last long, though; he was fired after just three episodes.

Dolphins!!

this as cute? -- Shocked in Syracuse, New YorkDEAR SHOCKED: You don’t need me to answer why the

pet food company presented the commercial in that way. Cute sells, right?

Because you’re concerned about the way the situation is presented, with no apparent consequences for the puppy (bloat is a possible risk for dogs that eat a large amount of food in one sitting), you can contact the company either through its website or in writing.

Now, what if that situation happened in real life? Your toddler gets into the dog food and sits there happily feeding the family pet, for who knows how long before you discover them.

You’ll need to monitor the dog closely. Bloat, known clini-cally as GDV (gastric dilatation-volvulus), happens when a dog’s stomach enlarges, twists and puts pressure on surrounding organs. It’s a very serious condition that can cause death in just hours. Overeating is one possible cause of bloat.

If your dog’s stomach is distended, it tries to belch or vomit without success, it’s weak, panting and salivating, rush it to the vet.

If your pet shows no symptoms but you’re concerned, contact the vet for instructions.
