 On
July 31, 1715, a hurricane struck the east coast of Florida,
sinking 10 Spanish treasure ships and killing nearly 1,000
people. All of the gold and silver onboard at the time would
not be recovered until 250 years later. From 1701, Spain
sent fleets of ships to the Western Hemisphere to bring back
natural resources, including gold and silver. These groups
of ships were heavily fortified against pirates, but there
was little that could be done to protect them from bad
weather. More |

 Kamala
Harris hosted an inspirational preaching session about the
importance of living in diverse communities this week from
her new $8 million home, located safely behind locked gates,
security cameras, private walls, and several layers of
extremely non-diverse zoning, sources have confirmed. The
speech began with Harris reminding Americans that community
is strongest when everyone lives together, shares space,
opens their hearts, and ideally does all of this somewhere
far away from her driveway.

 The
word ''hurricane'' finds its roots in the Caribbean, where
the indigenous Taíno people of the Greater Antilles
worshiped an evil storm deity named Juracán. This
god's name may have come from the Mayan god of wind,
Huracan. The Spanish adopted the words ''huracán''
and ''furacán'' to describe the intense storms and
brought them to Europe. The word eventually became
widespread in the English language as European colonial
powers expanded their territories and encountered these
storms in the Atlantic. More |
