My Blog Title: The untold the retold
In addition, there are also specific history words that we shall know before we start to delve into this timeline.
From [Wikipedia]: A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong sustained winds and low visibility, lasting for a prolonged period of time, typically at least three or four hours. A ground blizzard is a weather condition where snow that has already fallen is being blown by wind. Blizzards can have an immense size and usually stretch to hundreds or thousands of kilometres. [https://www.weather.gov] Source: Blizzards are dangerous winter storms that are a combination of blowing snow and wind resulting in very low visibilities. While heavy snowfalls and severe cold often accompany blizzards, they are not required. Sometimes strong winds pick up snow that has already fallen, creating a ground blizzard.
[https://avalanche.org] Source: Avalanches can quickly reach speeds up to 100 mph. They vary in destructive power from harmless to large enough to destroy mature forests or flatten villages. From [Wikipedia]: An avalanche is a rapid flow of snow down a slope, such as a hill or mountain. Avalanches can be triggered spontaneously, by factors such as increased precipitation or snowpack weakening, or by external means such as humans, other animals, and earthquakes. Primarily composed of flowing snow and air, large avalanches have the capability to capture and move ice, rocks, and trees.
From [www.sciencedirect.com]: Forest fires, also known as wildfires or bushfires, are uncontrolled fires occurring in areas densely populated with flammable vegetation, characterized by their large size, rapid propagation, and potential to change direction unexpectedly. They can be ignited by natural causes or human negligence and pose significant hazards, including loss of life and environmental damage. From [www.cisa.gov]: A wildfire is an unplanned, unwanted fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Wildfires are often caused by human activity or a natural phenomenon such as lightning, and they can happen at any time or anywhere. Naturally Occurring Wildfires are most frequently caused by lightning. There are also volcanic, meteor, and coal-seam fires, depending on the circumstances. Human Caused Wildfires can be accidental, intentional (arson), or from an act of negligence. Wildfires can disrupt critical infrastructure sectors such as transportation, communications, power and gas services, and water supply. They also lead to a deterioration of the air quality, and loss of property, crops, resources, animals and people.
Hailstorm: [https://www.nssl.noaa.gov] Source: Hail is a form of precipitation consisting of solid ice that forms inside thunderstorm updrafts. Hail can damage aircraft, homes and cars, and can be deadly to livestock and people. When viewed from the air, it is evident that hail falls in paths known as hail swaths. These occur as storms move while the hail is falling out. Hail that completely covers roadways is especially hazardous because if deep enough, a vehicle’s tires may not touch the roadway at all, with the vehicle instead driving on the hail, which acts exactly like an icy roadway in the winter.
From [Wikipedia]: The meaning of GRECO- is Greece. Franco- means relating to France. Italo- means relating to Italy. Austro- is a prefix denoting Austria. Sino- means of or connected with China. Indo- is a prefix indicating India or the Indian subcontinent. Anglo is a prefix indicating a relation to, or descent from England, English culture, the English people or the English language. Eurasia is the combined landmass of Europe and Asia in the northern part of Earth. It has the Atlantic Ocean on its west, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The Arctic Ocean is to its north, and the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean to its south. It is the largest of the continents. Its name comes from adding the "Eur" from "Europe" to "Asia”.
From [www.sightseeing-experience.com]: Messina, located on the northeastern coast of Sicily, is a city rich in history and cultural heritage. Founded by Greek colonists in the 8th century BC, Messina quickly became a thriving center of trade and commerce in the ancient Mediterranean. Its strategic position made it a gateway between Sicily and mainland Italy, attracting various civilizations over the centuries, including the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, and Spanish. Each of these cultures has left an indelible mark on Messina’s architecture, traditions, and identity. [www.history.com] Source: The Black Death was a devastating global epidemic of bubonic plague that struck Europe and Asia in the mid-1300s. Bubonic plague is an infection spread mostly to humans by infected fleas that travel on rodents. The plague arrived in Europe in October 1347, when 12 ships from the Black Sea docked at the Sicilian port of Messina. People gathered on the docks were met with a horrifying surprise: Most sailors aboard the ships were dead, and those still alive were gravely ill and covered in black boils that oozed blood and pus. Pus is a thick yellow or green liquid that is produced in a wound as a result of an infection. Sicilian authorities hastily ordered the fleet of “death ships” out of the harbor, but it was too late: Over the next five years, the Black Death would kill more than 20 million people in Europe—almost one-third of the continent’s population.
