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).
Hurricane Andrew made the record books. It was the third strongest hurricane to hit the country in the 20th century, in company with the Florida Keys 1935 Hurricane, and Hurricane Camille in 1969. For the state of Florida, Andrew was the strongest hurricane to hit the state in 30 years.
