A sun trajectory diagram was made for November 26, 2012 for Macon Georgia.  The diagram shown below depicts the location of the sun throughout the day.  



The following source was used to find the exact time of day of sunrise and sunset.

  

Hurricane Hugo

Hurricane Hugo was a Cape Verde Islands hurricane, which developed in the Atlantic off the west coast of Africa on September 9, 1989. Hugo caused widespread damage and many deaths in the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico and South Carolina.  

As I stated in my first blog post I am from Isle of Palms, SC where the worst damage occurred. Shortly after Midnight on September 22, 1989, the center of the category 4 hurricane made landfall on Isle of Palms in South Carolina.  Maximum winds of 137 mph were recorded at Charleston Naval Air Station, 108 mph at Downtown Charleston and 98 mph at the Charleston airport.



This is the damage that occurred on the Isle of Palms.
