A warm cup of black tea may help to provide relief from a sore throat. Black tea (Camelia sinensis) contains compounds called tannins, which are astringent and may help to shrink swollen tissue. Honey or lemon can be added. Another tea remedy is to make the black tea double-strength and gargle several times a day.
Hurricane Andrew moved across southern Florida at an average forward speed of 18 mph (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1992). As it crossed southern Florida, Andrew left a path of destruction 25 miles wide and 60 miles long (Gore, 1993).
Twenty years ago, one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the U.S. changed the face of South Florida. Hurricane Andrew wiped out communities south of Miami, killing 15 people when it struck in 1992. Dozens more died from injuries stemming from the storm and its aftermath.
