ハリケーン "フィオナ "が示す危険な天候 - 8つの製品で備えよう

今こそハリケーン・シーズンのピークに備えよう

例年に比べて嵐の活動が非常に少ないまま、ハリケーンシーズンの半ばを過ぎた。しかし、フィオナがプエルトリコとドミニカ共和国を標的にしていることから、まさに今がシーズンのピークに差し掛かっていることを実感させられる。アメリカ海洋大気庁(NOAA)は、今後数ヶ月の間にいくつかの大型ハリケーンが発生すると予測している。まだ準備を始めていないのであれば、今がその時である。

今年のハリケーンシーズンはなぜスタートが遅れたのか?

ハリケーンが形成されるためには、3つの基本的な要素、すなわち、暖かい海水(少なくとも80度)、豊富に湿った空気、そして収束する風が必要である。今シーズンは、大西洋を西進するサハラ砂漠の砂塵と乾燥した空気が、ほとんどの嵐の形成を妨げている。

NOAAと連邦緊急事態管理庁(FEMA)の両機関は、スロースタートとはいえ、油断は禁物だと注意を促している。NOAAによれば、11月末までに3~5つの大型ハリケーンが発生する可能性はある。

今こそ準備の時

ハリケーンに関する良いニュースは、突然発生するものではないということだ。静止運用環境衛星のおかげで、暴風雨の進路上にいる場合、3日から5日前に知ることができる。だからといって、ギリギリまで備蓄を待つ必要はない。ランタンや救急箱などの必需品は、需要が高いために売り切れたり、発送に時間がかかったりする可能性がある。

アレン・フォスター

Allen Foster started writing for BestReviews in 2018. After covering the entertainment world for over 25 years, he decided it was time for a change. Drawing upon his work experience in the construction field as well as the knowledge and training he received while selling tools, equipment, and home decor at one of the country's largest home improvement retailers, Allen decided it was time to give back. He wanted to share his extensive knowledge of how things worked in a simple and straightforward way that would benefit consumers. When he is not learning about new products, upgrading his home, or working on an assignment, Allen enjoys teaching music and writing fiction.

Expertise and Experience

Allen has no formal training as a writer. His college education included an Associate of Fine Arts from a local community college and an individual study program at the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts. His focus was on music theory, composition, and arranging. When he sold his first article to Keyboard Magazine, he realized the importance of the phrase "write what you know."

Over the past 30-plus years, Allen has honed his skills while continuing to write about the things he knows. He has written several thousand articles that have appeared in newspapers, magazines, and online media outlets. He has interviewed celebrities, experts, and media icons, such as Brian Wilson and Dan Rather.
