Answer to Question 1

Georges fi rst reached hurricane status between 9/17 and 9/18. Rotation is barely visible,
and clouds are less organized in the 9/17 image, but Georges appears as a much tighter
spiral with well-defi ned rain bands by 9/18.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary. For example, A H1 hurricane could infl ict more damage than more
intense storms if it hit a heavily populated metropolitan area or if residents and
businesses did not have adequate time to prepare and secure property.
