On the official site of NASA can see process of elements.
the Hurricane "Maria" hurries on change to weakening squall under the name "José" which leaves on the North. The Caribbean islands are directly on a way of new natural disaster. Under the threat also the Virgin Islands to United States of America and Saint Martin to France, Region of Guadeloupe and Region of Martinique, the British territory Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda, Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia and many island states.
the Storm "Maria" was formed on September 17 in the Atlantic Ocean. In a day it already raged in the Caribbean Sea, falling upon the small island states. The fifth category of the power which is considered maximum was already appropriated to a hurricane. In fact, "Maria" repeats a way of the hurricane "Irma" after which inhabitants of the Caribbean islands where "Irma stormed on September 7 did not manage to recover yet. And in three days it reached State of Florida. Tourists, including Russian, evacuated in due time, nobody suffered. Restoration of resort infrastructure is planned to finish by November though it will depend on the frequency of repetition of such situations.
"Maria's" Speed reaches 260 km/h therefore the National center of United States of America on tracking hurricanes called it potentially catastrophic. Formation of elements was watched by the NOAA and NASA satellites which have transferred data to the American space department. Initially wind speed in a storm was 130 km/h, but grew twice literally within a day. For this evening gale strengthening is predicted.
B Roseau a gale of "Maria" broke a roof from the official residence of the prime minister of Dominican republic Ruzvelt Skerrit who shared with subscribers in Social network Facebook that his house is filled in by water, but some minutes later the prime minister already reported about own rescue. Roofs were broken from many buildings, including from the main hospital of the island Dominican republic. The favourite place of tourist rest underwent a strong brunt of the disaster, and now it should be restored. The last time quite strongly the island suffered in 2015, then from the storm "Erica" 31 persons were lost.
of 33 thousand houses on French Region of Martinique remained without , but the island still was lucky – the hurricane bypassed it for 50 kilometers. As emergency measures the prefect Region of Martinique made the order today to close all schools and establishments, having left working only rescue services.
Locals declare that the official management Paris too late sent police and saving groups therefore the chaos and a panic already managed to extend to islands, and also marauders managed for a while. To Puerto Rico so strong hurricane observed already almost 20 years ago. In the territory of the state shortage of fuel and water is now noted. Powerful and the strong wind is expected on Antigua and Barbuda in spite of the fact that "eye" of a storm will be rather far from here.
Shots of a coming nearer hurricane are laid already out by
By the way, for the last months Atlantic became a place of emergence of several hurricanes of high power, "Maria" - already the fifth natural disaster. Most often tropical a storm not only arise, but also die away at the ocean. The last five hurricanes are beaten out from habitual standards – they destroyed a large number of settlements, caused enormous damage and ruined more than hundred people. we Will note
that the season of hurricanes begins in the Atlantic Ocean since June 1. Most often hurricanes arise not only in Atlantic, but also in east part of the Pacific Ocean, and in the Caribbean Sea. Formation of a hurricane happens over the World Ocean in an intra tropical belt if water has temperature not less than 26 degrees Celsius. Warm damp air comes into contact with water and starts rising that at big heights to be condensed, allocating heat. But streams of air start moving promptly in a certain direction (clockwise - in the Southern hemisphere, and counterclockwise – in Northern), carrying away and clouds. Gradually the wind speed and when it reaches 130 km/h increases, the elements turn into a hurricane. It is considered that the season of hurricanes was an average on intensity if for its period passed 11 storm. 2005 became the most destructive in Atlantic – for a season of storm here passed 28 natural disasters from which 15 were the hurricanes, four "managed" on the coast of United States of America, nearly one and a half thousand people became their victims.
