The highest winds were recorded at 177 kmph (miles per hour). For comparison, the speed limit on major highways in the United States does not exceed 120 km per hour. The wind diameter of the hurricane was said to be 1850.75 km. The LA times reported a coastal surge (wave of water) of over 4 meters in Manhattan (double the size of a tall man). Some blame the hurricane on global warming. The average temperature of New York is between4 and 7 degrees Celsius annually, with between 71 and 157 cm of precipitation.

4. In class writing assignment DUE TODAY: Write about the country you plan to visit. Explain what a normal day might be like for you there. Include any other pertinent information. ("This summer, I plan to study theatre in London. The first thing I will need to do is to find a place to live - not too big or expensive, but close to the university. I'll probably look online in order to find a flat and a roommate. I hope my roommate is nice, that way she can help me set up my bank accounts. I won't need a credit card, just a debit card for my checking account. Once I have my bank accounts, I'll look for a job. I hope I can become an assistant in a theater - that would be perfect training for my dream job (actress). But, I'm realistic: I might have to be a waitress for a few months, that's fine too. I think a normal day for me might begin at 8am. I'll wake up, take a shower, and hopefully eat breakfast with my roommate. While we're eating we can talk about what we each did last night. I hope she likes to party as much as I do! After that, I'll probably go to the university. I will pick my apartment based on distance from the university, so I plan to be able to walk to my classes...")
