Hurricane Season
In this article West is explaining what huricane season is, and what factors cause huricane season to occur every year. His is idea is to inform the reader of exactly what hurricane season is. Hurricanes, a severe tropical storm with torrential rain and extremely strong winds, can be very dangerous, and are capable of sometimes very severe damage depending on the category of the hurricane.
Hurricanes don't just start out as hurricanes, West states that "As the storm builds from thunderstorm to hurricane, it passes through three distinct stages based on wind speed" they go through 3 stages with the first one being a tropical depression, then advancing to a tropical storm, and then lastly a hurricane.
Most probably wonder why durring these months is a perfect time for hurricanes to form? It's because the temperatures are high (hot) which also makes the water warm too. These are the two keyfactors involved in the creation of a hurricane, along with the help of high speed winds.
Hurricane season isn't really a problem for us that live in the inner states, but for those who live on coast lines, it's a nightmare. I couldn't imagine having to deal with these types of storms, because of the high level of damage it brings with it. The season begins on June 1st and goes all the way through November 30th for the Atlantic ocean, and May 15th through November 30th for the Pacific ocean.
All in all hurricane season occurs around the same time every year, and consists of tropical storms that start out in the middle of the ocean and make their way to landfall where they start to cause damage with it's high winds, water, and everything else.

New Trade Center Elevators
I believe that the new trade center is going to be equipped with these new "23mph high speed elevator's" because naturally it would be a requirement because there's 104 floors, and it would take forever to get to the top if they were regular elevators. Another reason for these, could be if there was ever another emergency like 9/11 where they needed to evacuate fast, they could do so.
Reading Bucket List
13 Reasons Why- Jay Asher: I plan to read this book because I've heard alot about it and how good of a book it is. It has to do with a girl that has been bullied, and didn't tell anyone about her problems, and ended up committing suicide. Behind she leaves 13 tapes that each were a recording of her telling that specific person why she did what she did, and sent it to them.
Tunnels- Brian Williams: This book I read back in my 7th grade year, I completed it, but have forgotten most of it. It's about this normal boy who has a normal life, great parents and all the good stuff. His dad is an archeologist. They both enjoy going caving and exploring. One day Will noticed his dad went missing, and went to check the basement and there was a tunnel leading to a whole other world, to where his 'real' family lived, He finds out he is adopted, while on the journey of looking for his captured father.
Deeper- Brian Williams: This is the 2nd book in the tunnels series. I've read half of this book already, it starts off right where tunnels left off. Will is still in search of his father along with his newly found brother and cousin. While is dad is busy making discovery's down in the depths. Will and his brother are being hunted down by his real mother and the styx, because they have convinced her that Will is the one who killed her brother.
Free fall- Brian Williams: This is the 3rd book in the tunnels series. I've read none of this book. But its a continuation of the series that seems to be never ending. Brian Williams is a great author i've read multiple books that were written by him. So i'll know this one will be a good one.
Closer- Brian Williams: This is the 4th book in the tunnels series. I've read none of this book. I believe starting here in this book, it starts getting closer to them finding wills father and getting a chance to escape the dark underground depths and return to the "topsoil" as the underground people call it.
Spiral- Brian Williams: This is the 5th book in the tunnels series. Not yet read. I believe there is high chance that will's dad will be found by the boys, but they might also run into trouble with the styx while trying to do so, and could be locked up down there forever, with no chances for any of them.
Terminal- Brian Williams: This is the final book in the tunnels series. It hasn't been released yet but is supposed to be within the next year. With it being the last book and all, they will probably find his dad and make it safely back through the underground depths and return back to topsoil, and civilization.
Rules- Cynthia Lord: I was told about this book by my 6th grade english teacher. She said it was a good book. And that it was basically a book of rules that a girl had written for her little brother that was a little slow, but were easy and simple. Things that would come naturally to most.
The Green Glass Sea- Ellen Klages: This book I was also told about by my 6th grade english teacher. She didnt tell us much about it. But she did some. She just told us it was about this girl that was sent off to live with her father. After her grandma that she had lived with forever had a bad stroke, and is now being sent to a whole new place.
Heat- Mike Lupica: I've heard a lot about this book, and that it's really good. I don't really know much about it but I know it's about baseball. I've read a few other books by Mike Lupica, and they were all good. So I'm pretty sure this book will be just as good as the rest.
