MSN HURRICANE POND DOLPHIN RESCUED  Nemerous groups cooperated together to  rescue the dolphin in fresh water and return him to the sea.  It turns out animals stranded in fresh water is not uncommon.  Hurricane Ida also deposited alligators.

BAHAMAS - MUCH DESTROYED but MUCH IS NOT : HURRICANE DORIAN

OFFICIAL SITE OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS

Did you know that the Bahama Islands - 700 of them - are in the ATLANTIC OCEAN and are NOT in the Caribbean ?

I must have read a hundred articles and watched as many videos, searching for NEW information, about the oil spill and the destruction that Hurricane Dorian caused, since the Bahamas claims to have the clearest water on the planet and it's clear that it will take millions - maybe billions of dollars to rebuild Abaco Island and some other parts of the Bahamas.  It's so frightening, the changes in weather, the increased frequency and intensity of storms. People are experiencing intense suffering and loss.

But once you realize how spread out these islands are, you realize that you really can still enjoy much of the Bahamas.  And so - weather permitting - I agree that vacationing in the Bahama Islands and stimulating their economy is something you can do to help the people of that nation of islands.

HURRICAINES - MANATEES - and DISPLACED BEACHES - EARTH CHANGES

A double whammy of intense Hurricanes hit the southern United States in recent weeks, and if you're like me, you followed the news closely, and learned that the water these storms took up and deposited elsewhere created dramatic changes, such as whole beaches gone missing, displaced manatees that had to be hauled back into water, and many other earth changes.  I've seen articles that suggest that birds have relocated inland and so should people.  The destruction was expensive and had effected millions, be it that the power is still out or that their homes are ruined.  Yet another expert said these storms were good for our economy, since there will be employment in the rebuilding.

SHIPWRECKS - HURRICANES - AND TREE RINGS : WHAT WE CAN LEARN ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE

WASHINGTON POST - ANCIENT SHIPWRECKS - CLIMATE CHANGE

EXCERPT:

To study shipwrecks, the new research drew upon historical records of no less than 657 wrecks of Spanish ships in the Caribbean between 1495 and 1825 — a period that started just after Columbus’s first expedition to the new world. All of the storms that were inferred to have wrecked these ships occurred prior to the earliest year in today’s official Atlantic hurricane database, which is kept by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and begins in 1851.... But to strengthen the analysis, the researchers also cross-referenced the shipwreck history with data from the rings of pine trees growing in the Florida Keys, which can also provide a record of hurricane history.

HURRICANE BRINGS CIVIL WAR SHIP TO SHORE IN ALABAMA

"This is actually the fourth time parts of the wreckage have become visible over the years, after it first made an appearance following Hurricane Camille in 1969. It reappeared in 2004 after Hurricane Ivan and again in 2008 after Hurricane Ike."
