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).
Katrina formed in the Bahamas on August 23, and headed west, striking southern Florida as a Category 1 hurricane. After that, Katrina entered into the Gulf of Mexico, where extremely warm water temperatures allowed it to strengthen into a Category 5 hurricane with 175 mph winds early on August 28.he total damage from Katrina is estimated at $81,000,000,000 (2005 USD), nearly doubling the cost of the previously most expensive storm in the United States, Hurricane Andrew, when adjusted for inflation.
