Elizabeth nee Leatham. His wife was Mariabella Eliot and his children Robert Howard and John Eliot. Luke Howard attended a Quaker Grammar School in Burford, Oxfordshire, where he developed his Latin which later aided him in naming the categories of clouds. Luke Howard became a pharmacist by profession, leading to him setting up his own pharmacy. His interests in clouds later on led him to becoming an amateur meteorologist. Luke Howard proposed that there were three types of clouds; cumulus, cirrus and stratus. Howard named these based on there visual representation and latin words to fit there description. Howard then discovered how these clouds work and how they constantly change due to rising and falling from convectional rays and gravity. Luke Howard's work became known worldwide due to authors, poets and artists placing his information in their work, making everyone aware of Howard's work. Although not the first to name the clouds, as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck previously did this, but Luke Howard's work was more acceptable and understood throughout the world due to the more versatile language it was used in. Luke Howard died in Tottenham, England on March 21, 1864, but lives on as 'The Father Of Meteorology' and 'The Godfather Of Clouds'.

ReplyDeleteSo the Superstorm started on March 12, from nineteen ninety three and finished on March 15 from the same year. The superstorm was a large cyclone storm, of category 5 that happened in Florida, with winds of least 157 miles per hours. The low pressure happened in the eastern part of the country and arrived in 28.44 inches of mercury. A tornado storm from the category F2 (that’s a tornado considered damage, with winds from 56 until 175 yards) happened around fifteen tornadoes on Florida. A ice storm of 50 inches of snow in Tennessee and North Carolina and in Syracuse in New York, arrived on 43 inches of snow. So, the Superstorm started on the Gulf of Mexico, passing through Cuba, below Florida, after passed on Florida and for all the eastern part of the United States until Canada. The Superstorm just finished on March 15 in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Superstorm caused a lot of damages to the humans.
