As a response to these constant existential threats, the exhibition offers a platform to the artists and the ways they have forged paths through the wake of these legacies. While Hurricane Maria serves as a focal point, the exhibition is defined by a larger context in which the aftermath of the storm was further exacerbated by the chain of events that preceded and followed this (un)natural disaster, including the austerity measures implemented by the PROMESA law (also known as La Junta) the deaths of 4,645 Puerto Ricans as a consequence of the Hurricane the protests during the Verano del 19 (Summer of 2019) that led to the ouster of governor Ricardo Rosselló the string of earthquakes the COVID-19 pandemic and much more. no existe un mundo poshuracán-a verse borrowed from Puerto Rican poet Raquel Salas Rivera-is the first scholarly exhibition focused on Puerto Rican art to be organized by a large U.S.

The exhibition explores how artists have responded to the transformative years since that event by bringing together more than fifty artworks made over the last five years by an intergenerational group of more than fifteen artists from Puerto Rico and the diaspora. Marie is then forecast to begin weakening this weekend.No existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria is organized to coincide with the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria-a category 5 storm that hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017. Marie is expected to become a major hurricane by tonight with some additional strengthening possible through Friday.

Rapid strengthening is forecast by the National Hurricane Center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 983 millibars. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical- storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km). Maximum sustained winds are near 90 mph (150 kph) with higher gusts. Marie is moving toward the west near 17 mph (28 kph), and this general motion is expected to continue through tonight, followed by a gradual turn toward the west-northwest with decreasing forward speed. It is about 775 miles (1,245 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico. EDT (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Marie was located near latitude 14.8 degrees north and longitude 118.1 degrees west. NASA then provides data to tropical cyclone meteorologists so they can incorporate it in their forecasts.Īt 5 a.m. EDT) 0451Z AMSU composite microwave overpass." EDT on Oct 1, NHC Hurricane Specialist Andrew Latto noted, "Recent microwave data and satellite images indicate that Marie has become much better organized over the past several hours, with a nearly completely closed eye noted in a (12:51 a.m. NASA research has shown that cloud top temperatures that cold indicate strong storms that have the capability to create heavy rain.Īt 5 a.m. Strong storms with cloud top temperatures as cold as minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 56.6. Temperatures in those areas were as cold as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62.2 Celsius). Hurricane Marie's cloud top temperatures and found strongest storms were around Marie's center of circulation. EDT (0910 UTC) NASA's Aqua satellite analyzed the storm using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument. The stronger the storms, the higher they extend into the troposphere, and the colder the cloud top temperatures. Cloud top temperatures identify where the strongest storms are located. One of the ways NASA researches tropical cyclones is using infrared data that provides temperature information. Infrared Imagery Reveals a More Powerful Marie

NOAA's National Hurricane Center (NHC) expects Marie to become a major hurricane late on Oct.
