Areas affected...portions of southeastern Texas...far southwestern
Louisiana...and adjacent coastal waters
Concerning...Tornado Watch 470...
Valid 271554Z - 271900Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 470 continues.
SUMMARY...The tornado threat continues across WW 470, although the
highest threat is confined to areas nearer to the coast, where
instability is strongest. A new watch will be coordinated for areas
closer to the coast around 1730Z.
DISCUSSION...Widespread convection continues across the Watch area,
especially within a couple of intense bands near HOU/GLS and also
near/north through east of the BPT area. More isolated convection
exists along and south of coastal areas. Shear remains strong
across the region, although the greatest instability is located
along and south of coastal areas. Operational/high-resolution
models and current observations suggest that several bands of
convection will continue to impact the area well beyond the
currently scheduled expiration time of WW 170 (18Z), although inland
areas may struggle to destabilize throughout the day due to
widespread areas of heavy rain/clouds. Thus, the areas of greatest
destabilization (and highest tornado threat) should remain mostly
confined to within about 50-75 miles of the coast.
A new tornado watch will be coordinated with affected local Weather
Forecast Offices at around 1730Z and issued before 18Z.

The Botallack Mine (Cornish: Bostalek) is a former mine in Botallack in the west of Cornwall, England, UK. Since 2006 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site – Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape. The mine is within the Aire Point to Carrick Du Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the South West Coast Path passes through the cove.

Location[edit]
The village of Botallack is on the B3306 road, in a former tin and copper mining area situated between the town of St Just in Penwith and the village of Pendeen.[1]
History[edit]
It is unclear how far back mining activity goes in this location. Early records date from the 1500s. Some archaeological evidence points to mining here in the Roman era or even as far back as the Bronze Age.[2]
Botallack was a submarine mine, with tunnels extending under the sea, in places for half a mile. Over its recorded lifetime, the mine produced around 14,500 tonnes of tin, 20,000 tonnes of copper and 1,500 tonnes of arsenic. An estimated 1.5 million tonnes of waste would have been dug up with the minerals.[2] In the 1860s a new diagonal shaft was dug. In 1865, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited and descended down the shaft, creating a mini-boom in tourism that caused the mine operators to charge visitors a guinea per person.[2] The mine closed in 1895 as a result of falling tin and copper prices.[2] The mining developments around Botallack form part of the St Just mining district's successful inclusion in the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage site which was inscribed in July 2006.[2]
The 1970s BBC television series Poldark was filmed partly in Botallack, using Manor Farm as Nampara.[3] More recently, filming for the new Poldark series also took place here.[2]
Description[edit]
The engine houses in the Crowns section of Botallack Mine are set low down the cliffs north of Botallack. There are two engine houses here and the remains of another pair on the cliff slopes above; the mine extends for about 400 metres out under the Atlantic ocean; the deepest shaft is 250 fathoms (about 500 metres) below sea level. The workings of Botallack Mine extend inland as far as the St. Just to St. Ives road, and at times included Wheal Cock further to the north-east.
The mine buildings on Botallack Cliffs are protected by the National Trust. There are two arsenic works opposite the Botallack Mine count house. At the top of the cliffs there are also the remains of one of the mine's arsenic-refining works.[4]
The mineral Botallackite has its type locality here.[5]

Cyclone Harvey was a tropical cyclone that struck Queensland and the Northern Territory of Australia during the 2004–05 Australian region cyclone season. It had a minimum pressure of 967 mbar (hPa; 28.56 inHg)[1] and maximum wind gusts of 220 kilometres per hour (140 mph).[2]

Meteorological history[edit]
Map plotting the track and intensity of the storm according to the Saffir–Simpson scale
A series of weak low pressure systems in the Gulf of Carpentaria and Timor Sea prompted the Bureau of Meteorology to go on Low Key Standby on 3 February 2005. While there was a moderate risk of tropical cyclone development, there were several weak lows, not a main well-defined low, and this led to High Key Standby being delayed until 4 February. On 5 February, the Brisbane Tropical Cyclone Warning Center (TCWC) issued an advice for municipalities along the southern side of the Gulf of Carpentaria as the Watch Phase was entered. On 6 February, Warning Phase commenced as Harvey strengthened to a Category 1 storm, and by 7 February, the cyclone had reached Category 3. The system then made landfall along the coast of the southern side of the gulf later that day.[3]
Preparations and impact[edit]
Warnings were issued along the coast between Mornington Island in Queensland and Port McArthur, Borroloola and Robinson River in the Northern Territory. Municipalities were warned to expect flooding and high tides.[4]
At Robinson River, flooding led to "severe road damage," which was estimated to be $1 million AUD ($750,000 USD in 2005). The river rose nearly 16 meters, coming 1 meter away from the local power station. Downed trees and minor building damage was also reported. At Pungalina Station, strong winds and 6 cm of rain were reported, and many trees were uprooted or broken.[5]
Aftermath[edit]
The Bureau of Meteorology retired the name Harvey after its usage.[6]

Le cyclone Harvey vient rappeler à Donald Trump les effets du changement climatique
Au Texas, le cyclone Harvey a touché terre dans la nuit de vendredi à samedi en apportant son lot de désolations. Outre des hauteurs comprises entre 180 et 200 kilomètres par heure, le cyclone Harvey a fait monter le niveau de la mer entre 1,5 et 4 mètres, et a entraîné des pluies diluviennes. Plusieurs morts sont malheureusement à déplorer, ainsi que d’importants dégâts. Pour les États-Unis, ce cyclone est comparable à Katrina qui avait ravagé le Sud de la Louisiane.
Cette catastrophe rappelle que même les pays riches sont vulnérables aux phénomènes climatiques extrêmes. Le passage du cyclone a détruit de nombreux bâtiments, mis à terre le réseau électrique provoquant des incendies, ou renversé des camions et leur remorques.
Dans le passé dans cette région, d’autres cyclones avaient fait d’importants dégâts. Celui de 1900 avait ravagé Galvestone qui était alors la plus grande ville du Texas. 8.000 personnes ont été tuées sur une population de 45.000 habitants. Tirant les enseignements de cette catastrophe, les dirigeants de l’époque construisirent une digue de 5 mètres de haut et déplacèrent les investissements à Houston, située plus à l’intérieur des terres.
En 2005, la puissance du cyclone Katrina avait fait céder les digues qui protégeaient la Nouvelle-Orleans. Il a fallu alors plusieurs années pour reconstruire.
Avec le réchauffement climatique, la hausse de la température moyenne favorise la formation des cyclones. Ces dernières années ont également vu se développer des cyclones très intenses qui touchent d’importantes population en Asie et en Amérique. Depuis l’élection de Donald Trump, les climato-sceptiques sont au pouvoir aux États-Unis. Ils affirment que les activités humaines ne sont pas à l’origine de la hausse des températures et ajoutent que le changement climatique n’existe pas. Le Guardian s’est livré à une analyse comparative du contenu de plusieurs sites web gouvernementaux des États-Unis. Il a constaté que la référence au changement climatique est progressivement effacée. Tout au plus le mot climat figure encore, mais tout lien avec les activités humaines est aboli.
Une des conséquences de l’élection de Donald Trump a donc été d’effacer l’existence du changement climatique dans le contenu des sites publics d’information à la population. La désolation qui suit le cyclone Harvey rappelle que ce n’est pas en ignorant un phénomène que le danger disparaît. C’est un enseignement à tirer pour notre île, qui se situe précisément dans une région où circulent les cyclones.
