A hurricane is a type of cyclone, which forms over tropical or subtropical waters. A tropical cyclone is a rotating low-pressure weather system that has organized thunderstorms. Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour are called tropical depressions. Those with maximum sustained winds of 39 mph or higher are called tropical storms. When a storm's maximum winds reach 74 mph, it is called a hurricane. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php

Burton Leon Reynolds Jr. was an American actor, director, and producer has died at age 82. He was a movie and TV heart-throb on his day. The box office sensation passed away today, and Hollywood is expressing condolences.

Reynolds was the self-described number one Superstar for nearly one-half decade and that had never been done before. While working t NBC, I had the pleasure of meeting this male sex symbol during his appearance at Saturday Night Live.

I have also valued the opportunity to co-facilitate such conversations with trusted non-white, mostly female colleagues in intergroup dialogue settings.
