1 Do not apply the ice directly to the knee; instead, cover your knee with a cotton towel. 2  Place ice in a plastic zip-close bag, and then place the bag on the towel. 3  Wear cushioned, flat shoes that support your feet and donât exacerbate your pain. 4  Avoid sleeping on your side.
A simple and general rule-of-thumb for estimating a storm's low pressure contribution to the surge is as follows: 1 cm of rise above predicted tidal values for each 1 hPa below the standard atmospheric pressure of 1013 hPa. For example, Hurricane Juan had a central pressure of 974 hPa when it made landfall just west of Halifax Harbour. The pressure effect alone would result in a surge of approximately 39 cm, however, the surge measured in Halifax Harbour was about 150 cm. Clearly, a more important mechanism was at work. The wind is the key.
Katrina had a minimum pressure of 904 millibars (26.64 inches), making it the second most intense storm to hit the US, as well as the most costly, and the third deadliest hurricane in U.S. history. 3. Hurricane Camille(1969) - Mississippi, SE Louisiana.ne of just three Category 5 Hurricanes to make landfall in the US, the Great Labor Day Storm had a minimum pressure of 892 millibars (26.35 inches). It caused 423 deaths in Florida. It also was notable for providing the setting for the Humphrey Bogart-Lauren Bacall movie, Key Largo. 2.
