The combination of these variables increases the intensity of flow forces. Wind and water forces scale with the square of velocity, meaning that as flow speeds increase \u2014 due to more intense heating or heavier rainfall \u2014 the damage scales accordingly. According to drag physics, force is proportional to density times the square of velocity.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a 20-mile-an-hour wind exerts four times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind, while a 40-mile-an-hour wind exerts 16 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind. At 50 miles an hour, the force is 25 times greater, and at 60 miles an hour, it&#8217;s 36 times greater than at 10 miles an hour. What about rain in the wind? Now, add the density factor: water is about 800 times denser than air, so a 10-mile-an-hour water flow exerts 800 times the force of a 10-mile-an-hour wind without rain.<\/p>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"tag\/TBD\/\">TBD<\/a>&#8220;<\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Piercing-Wind-0.mp3 Piercing-Wind-0.mp4 Piercing-Wind-I.mp3 Piercing-Wind-I.mp4 Piercing-Wind-intro.mp3 [Intro] Howling (calling from the moon) Piercing (coming way too soon) [Verse 1] If it blows any harder, Might blow me away If it&#8217;s just getting started So much for today [Chorus] Howling (calling to the moon) Piercing (coming way too soon) Wailing (sending things sailing) Flailing (Fleeing from the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9,14],"tags":[163],"class_list":["post-41401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daniel","category-lyrics","tag-climate-change"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41401"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41420,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41401\/revisions\/41420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
